Whether you're starting your own business, play on a high school basketball team, or you're facing off against your friends playing GoldenEye on N64; it's always a good thing to know your competition. You can learn from their mistakes as well as model what works for them and expand on it. The Joker knows this well and has demonstrated it time and time again. In the 2012 Death Of The Family comic arc he literally knows his opposition; to be more specific, he proclaims that he knows the secret identities of every member of the Bat-Family (minus Batman) and that he would be reducing their numbers, one by one, so that it could be like the old days again just him and Bats. Also, you should know why you compete or are embarking on any performance-based activity. Whether you're out to make money or you just want to watch the world burn.
