What is the It's Simple, Kill the Batman meme?

It's Simple, Kill the Batman shows Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight in his smeared white face paint, dark-ringed eyes and scarred red grin, wearing a purple suit and leaning forward across a table in a dim kitchen. He looks calm, almost reasonable. In the film he is pitching his plan to a room of gangsters, and the meme borrows his tone to offer a blunt, drastic solution to a complex problem as if it were obvious. The humour is in how extreme the fix is compared to how casually it is stated.

Origin: In The Dark Knight (2008), the Joker crashes a meeting of Gotham's mob bosses and tells them their Batman problem has a simple answer: kill the Batman.

Also known as: Joker Kill the Batman, Heath Ledger Joker, It's Simple Joker.

How to use the It's Simple, Kill the Batman meme

The top box is usually "it's simple", and the bottom box is the outrageous solution, often in the form "we X the Y". You can also put the problem in the top box and the Joker's fix underneath.

It works best when the solution is technically correct and wildly overkill: deleting the whole repository to fix a bug, quitting your job to avoid a meeting, moving out to avoid doing the dishes. Keep the second line short and deadpan so it sounds like a plan the Joker would propose without blinking.
