The joker is aloof because he's indifferent and basically disinterested. He's only interested in getting money and being a villain. He doesen't care about anything else and he has no feelings for the people he kills or interest in the bad things he causes. He's aloof.
The best time or place when using the word "aloof" is when talking about someone that is detatched or stands aside from a group. It could also be used when talking about a bank robber and how he is running around a city free to his own will.
My word is a lot like detatched or distant but different because aloof is more like being out somewhere, not necessarily being distant.
The word aloof is the exact opposite of near or close because they dont define aloof. Aloof is being far away instead of being close.
I give aloof a five out of five stars because its a fun word to use and it makes sense. It is also popular. I just like this word and it deserves a great rating.
