Respectfully, this was horrible

Happened to just see it and I think this was one of the weirdest films ever made and not in a good way.
The story didn't offer any explanations what was happening, the dialogue was awful, the directing awful, the soundtrack awful and the ending just too stupid to belive.
How is this a 98% in Rotten Tomatoes?
And I'm not trolling nor pick a fight with it's fans, but if someone could just explain what the hell was this movie about?

Y'see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little...push[laughs] ~ The Joker

Second viewing at least four years after i saw it first and it's a whole different experience, from a 6 to an 8. The dialogue is what I was missing the first time, it's just fantastic. I only kept it for the weirdness, but I'm glad I did. "...no christians either!"

Pay attention, kids. This is what happens when some dumbass takes a movie 1000x more seriously than the people who created it.
