#i want him and scarecrow to swap poisoning techniques

[cacklingskeleton]

One of my problems with modern batman media is that they often treat joker as a separate entity to the rest of the batman villains

like he's either seen as above them and only interacts with other villains to lead or one-up them

or the rest of the villains don't consider him part of the group because he's too evil or something (even though characters like scarecrow or riddler are at least just as evil depending on the adaptation)

and I kinda get it, most of the other villains are usually given at least a small sympathetic element while joker tends to be a more pure evil villain

but I think it's way more fun when joker is just considered another villain and can interact with the other villains as equals

like how in the animated series batman considers joker his worst enemy but the other villains just interact with him normally and are willing to do stuff like play cards with him

or in the audio adventures where he and riddler just have a casual conversation while joker is making breakfast

like idk I feel like separating joker from everyone else means you miss out on a lot of fun dynamics or banter
