#The Joker

[newbatmanfan19]

I love the idea that Dick exclusively taunts the Joker by gatekeeping clownery

lbr he doesnt stand a chance against a real clownoisseur

Hear me out

Jason goes to confront Batman about his death and the Joker. Jason doesn't care all that much that he died, he just cant stand the fact that the Joker isn't dead. So when Jason asks why that fucking clown is still alive Batman instructs Jason to shoot the Joker. Jason is obviously very confused but shoots him in the head no hesitation. The Joker's body disappears as soon as it hits the floor.

Every time the Joker dies he disappears and comes back unscathed, so one day the batfam summons the literal ghost king (Danny phantom) to see whats going on with Joker because if anyone would know about when someone isn't dying like they should the ghost king would know. They find out Joker is a being of the infinite realms. Danny hates Joker immediately. Danny then turns into a horror eldritch being AND FKN EATS HIM. the batfam stand and stare in shock. That doesn't unalive Joker it just sends him to the ghost zone/infinite realms then Joker goes to trial in the ghost zone/infinite realms. The Jokers sentence is the biblical definition of hell, and his soul burns until it's destroyed

ARTHUR FLECK | THE JOKER Joker: Folie A Deux (2024) dir. Todd Phillips

[booberrydraweth]

Suddenly blasted by the thought of Jason Todd coming back from the dead, saying Go To Hell and getting back at both Bruce and the Joker by making a hair product empire

He outthreatens and outstubborns all the hair dye companies so Joker is forced to go to Walmart and buy insanely overpriced Lazarus Pit Green to keep his hair green

And only Lazarus Green is that pricy, you understand

Bruce is staring with wet eyes at JASON'S PREMIUM HEAD SLIME as it demolishes Wayne Everyday Basics shampoos in the drugstores

Nightwing is seen with blue hair for months

Nightwing Blue, to be exact

Dick Grayson is wearing a painstakingly high quality wig in the daytime so he can get away with supporting JASON'S

He's a loser

By the way, all the proceeds from Lazarus Pit Green go to orphanages and vigilante therapy organizations

Jason sends Bruce a deluxe Grey-Out package for his birthday "To cover up silver streaks with black darker than smog of Gotham's night" and Bruce cries about it for half an hour

Yes each box has an insanely dramatic description on the back

Jason hires English majors by the dozen

DUDE I LOVE CLARK SM HE DOES HIS BEST 😭😭😭😭😭

my favorite thing that Clark Kent does is try to figure out how a Normal Human Man would respond to getting injured

like if someone shoots at him he can say “oh he missed” and if someone tries to punch him he can kind of roll with it and barely avoid getting hit so they don’t smash their hand while going “oh ow oof what a punch ouch”

but then here comes the Joker with a comically large wooden mallet and now Clark has to figure out how Normal Human Man Clark Kent could conceivably survive this without making it obvious that he is not actually a Normal Human Man. just “oh goddammit i’ve never even seen someone get hit with one of these before, the joker’s probably seen all kinds of people get hit, he knows what this is supposed to look like but i have no goddamn idea i am so fucked”

superman may have the power of flight and super strength but clark kent has the power of improv

The Legion of Doom used to stand for something: top tier evil. But now, they’ll let in any, say... second rate clown with a cheap dye job. The Legion is no more. Gotham, you deserve better, someone with vision, someone who speaks French, moi of course.

Gotham City Poker

[vintagerobin]

what comic is the bestselling joker book from?

So the specific example I was thinking of was Joker: The World, where there are multiple books and a documentary about the Joker readily available internationally.

But I'm pretty sure this trend of books and documentaries about Gotham rogues (and especially the Joker) goes back much further, I could swear I remember references to both characters intending to write about him (like Harley when she was still a psychiatrist) and to books actually existing in multiple other instances, I just read about it long enough ago that I don't remember specific comics anymore.

It also comes up in Batman media outside of the comics, like in the recent Joker movie (where Arthur Fleck's memoir and a documentary about him are major plot points) or in Batman Audio Adventures where other rogues (like Harvey) also have books and/or documentaries.

Wrt the post this question is referencing there's definitely also canonical documentaries and other media about the Wayne murders that gets circulated on at least a national level. Gotham is like... a really weird true crime mill.

Okay, so there's this buffy crossover series with something like this going on? Except worse.

The Joker is LITERALLY A CURSE.

Transcript.

Jason: (holding gun on Bruce) "Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me."

Batman: (glares silently)

Jason: "But why? Why on God's Earth—" (hits Joker across the face)

Joker (tied to a chair): *cackles*

Jason: "—is HE still alive??"

Joker: "AHAHAHAHAHHAHA!"

Batman:

Batman: "I'm sorry, d'you want me to be serious here or—?"

Jason: (in disbelief) "YES, Bruce! I want you to be serious right now! If he had done what he did to me to you, I would've done nothing but search the earth for this pile of death-worshiping garbage!"

Joker: "I love you too, Sugar Plum."

Batman: (holds hands up) "Okay, yeah, I get that, totally, I get that. Um. Have you tried?"

Jason: "Excuse you?"

Batman: "Have you tried to kill him yet?"

Jason: (to Joker) "Is he being serious?"

Joker: (also confused) "I'm gonna be honest with you, Junior. I don't know."

Jason: "Got it. Great." (turns back to Batman) "What the fuck does THAT mean?"

Batman: "Okay, so no, you haven't. Cool. Do it."

Jason:

Jason: (lowers gun) "What."

Batman: "Do it, cap his ass. Shoot him."

Joker: "I'm gonna go with Junior here, and say...what?"

Jason: "You want me to shoot him?"

Batman: "I want someone to shoot him! Give me the gun, I'll do it!"

Jason: (mutters, brain blue screening) "What is going on right now? This should a lot harder than it is."

Batman: "C'mon, son! You decapitated like eleven people three days ago! Fuckin' do it!"

Jason: "There, you happy? Jesus. Was that so hard? All of this time and it was THAT easy!"

Joker: (turns to Jason quizzically) "This has gotta be some sort of test, ri—"

(BANG! Jason fires. Joker lands on the floor lifeless, eyes still open.)

Batman: "I don't know what you're talking about "easy". There's nothing there." (nods at floor)

Jason: "What the fuck is that supposed to—" (looks down at floor where the Joker was lying)

Floor: (is devoid of Joker)

Jason: (stares)

Floor: (continues to be sans anything but carpet)

Jason: "What the fuck?"

Batman: "Yeah."

Jason: "WHAT THE FUCK?"

Batman: "Take as long as you need with this."

Jason: (looking around frantically) "I just shot him! He hit the floor! What the f—"

Floor: (is just vibin')

Jason: "Where the fuck did he go??"

Batman: "See that shit? That shit right there happens every fucking time!"

Jason: "There's not even a blood stain! It's just gone!"

Batman: "Yeah, like two days after you died, I chased him into a helicopter where he got shot like six times. The helicopter exploded and crashed into the ocean. And his body was gone before Superman could find it."

Jason: "Oh my God. I don't understand how this is even fucking possible!"

Batman: "He's like a cryptid! I don't fucking get it!"

Joker: (disembodied laughter) "AHAHAHAHA HAHAHA!"

Jason: (freaked out, turning in circles trying to find him) "Oh my God!"

Batman: "THAT OMINOUS SHIT HAPPENS TOO! I DON'T KNOW, DUDE!"

Jason: "Dude. Fuck whatever's going on here, that's some fucking bullshit."

Batman: "Thank you! Finally someone gets it!"
