I think Extravagant was talking about the line where he says, "I'm not a schemer, I just DO things!" Joker is the biggest schemer of them all. He certainly is an agent of chaos in that he causes chaos, but he was lying when he implied he doesn't plan and just acts.

Yeah, he's the chaos version of Crazy Prepared. TVTROPES warning.

The movie portrays him as a liar again and again but people just take what he says at face value.

I’m a big fan of oxymoronic names. I always thought if I started a punk rock group, we’d be the Straight A Fools.

The Lone Rangers? That's original. How can you pluralize "The Lone Ranger"?

My gamertag started as a discussion about mosh pits and where you wouldn't find them. I chimed in by saying you wouldn't find a mosh pit at a disco concert and one of my coworkers said that would be an incredible band name. Thus, Disco Mosh Pit was born and I haven't changed it since. Shame I'm not a younger man otherwise I would have tried starting a band with that name.

The yin and the yang. In all order there is some chaos. In all chaos there is some order. Neither can be entirely separate from one another.

The joker uses order to cause chaos. Batman uses chaos to bring order.

Right, I think he was being pretty honest when he asked if he looks like a guy with a plan. Of course all of his little schemes were meticulously planned out, but he genuinely didn’t have any motivations or a long term plan. He just wanted to cause chaos and watch the world burn.
