Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds (SFM Animated Adaptation)
Jillian Koch for Doctor Cassandra Briar
Cassandra Briar is a psychiatrist who was brought in by a congressional committee to deal with lunatics that can't be cured through traditional means, such as Kasady and Joker. She strongly believes that continuing to let these villains thrive as they are in an attempt to cure their lunacy is a fool's errand and will only put others in harm's way, and that drastic measures are needed to stop them permanently. She strongly believes what she is doing is the right thing, and is typically more abrasive towards those who question her ideals and methods. However, unlike the comic version, I am giving her more of a reason for being this way.
Cassandra is a very uptight woman, and as I said above, usually abrasive. Because she believes her methods are foolproof, it has made her cocky and, in a few cases, foolhardy. I want a performance that shows a woman who means well, but has questionable methods, and thinks that she is always right.
[Adding onto a line of dialogue by Ashley Kafka] But these high intensity heat waves only temporarily neutralize Kasady’s symbiote. The only way to truly neutralize his threat for good is through his mind. And forgive me for being so blunt, doctor… but this animal is beyond therapy. It’s sheer delusion, if not megalomania, on your part to think that you can rehabilitate him.
[Annoyed at Spider-Man] First, don’t touch me! Secondly, I didn’t invite debate on this subject! And I especially didn’t invite you! In fact, I want you off the premises before I call security and have you arrested for trespassing on private property!
[Speaking to Jeremiah Arkham about Joker] If I may be blunt, Doctor Arkham… your asylum has failed MISERABLY where the Joker is concerned... and that’s not even counting the countless other inmates you’re quote/unquote “treating” that come in and out of here like a revolving door. But I digress. I’ve read all your files on the Joker, and it’s clear that no therapy can crack the walls around that psyche.
