When Batman and Joker line up against each other something strange is going to go down.  When they play chicken, they are both just crazy enough that we might see the suboptimal outcome.  Here we see the two arch enemies heading straight for each other.  Who will chicken out?

Game theory can help us understand whether there is an optimal strategy in this game.  Should you keep going straight or should you swerve?  The answer depends on knowing the payoffs.  Batman and Joker are unlike most normal people so perhaps it isn’t a surprise that neither is willing to get out of the way.
