The trick is in addition to being an asshole, you have to pick your alliances very carefully. The Joker was free to do that because (a) he really was powerful enough to beat all the criminals, see (b) and (b) it was a movie.

The most important lesson my generation needs to learn from the Joker. That's why I'll NEVER accept an unpaid internship in a million years. Whenever a baby boomer offers me an "opportunity" for free, I laugh hysterically in their face.

You would have gotten promoted.
