For the record right off the bat (to do which should still be reserved for Mr. J, by the way; fuck you, Rocksteady), I don't even like Harley Quinn very much at all; she's easily one of the most overused characters in anything. However, the main reason I felt compelled to use her again was because her previous appearance and depiction in Poison Ivy's battle with Audrey II is quite possibly the single most outdated and poorly-aged of any character in MERB's history, and much like DC itself with the character as a person, I wanted to redeem my use of her.

In hindsight, I easily didn't need a custom artwork for Wolverine's cameo, him being one of the most prolific characters in comics with the literal opposite of any shortage of official imagery for representing him, but I wanted to specifically use the design from his official ERB with Freddy Krueger as well as the specific posing to complete the Red Dawn reference. I also just really like having Fruzmig on board wherever possible; she's cool.

According to my correspondence with Harley's voice actress in this, Amber Schwinn, she had previously spoken as the character while working at Six Flags, and was eventually told to stop because the park wasn't permitted to use her in that specific context. That might very well make this the first time MERB has featured a technically official actor of a character, albeit only by the loosest of criteria.

This matchup was actually conceived as a royale before I decided to focus solely on these two, the would-be additional entrants not being scrapped, per se, so much as they were saved for their own battle down the line: the next in my plans as of this very posting; stay tuned...

The Evolution of the Joker: From Comic Villain to Cinematic Icon!!

Few characters in pop culture history have had the same impact as the Joker. Known as the Clown Prince of Crime, this enigmatic villain has captivated audiences for decades, evolving from a mischievous comic book villain into one of the most iconic and complex characters in cinematic history. Whether you're a fan of his early comic appearances or the gripping portrayals by legendary actors, the Joker’s evolution is a testament to his status as one of the greatest villains ever created. In this exploration, we delve into the Joker's journey from comic book pages to the big screen, where he continues to haunt Gotham and the world of pop culture.

The Birth of a Villain: Joker’s Comic Book Origins : The Joker made his first appearance in Batman #1 in 1940, just a year after Batman's debut. Created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson, the Joker was originally envisioned as a deranged criminal mastermind with a signature look: green hair, chalk-white skin, and a ghastly red grin. Inspired by the imagery of the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs, the Joker was intended to be a one-off villain, but his instant popularity with fans secured his place as Batman’s arch-nemesis. Early Joker stories in the comics showcased him as a cunning, lethal criminal, a stark contrast to the more whimsical and quirky villains of the time. His unpredictability, combined with his twisted sense of humor, made him stand out in Gotham’s criminal underworld. In the Golden and Silver Ages of comics, the Joker was a figure of pure chaos, unhinged and ready to challenge the Dark Knight at every turn.

The Shift to a More Comedic Tone : As comic books became subject to censorship and began to shift toward more child-friendly narratives in the 1950s and 1960s, the Joker's character underwent a transformation. During this period, his violent and menacing persona gave way to a more comedic and slapstick villain. The Joker was no longer the homicidal criminal, but rather a prankster who engaged in elaborate heists and outlandish schemes to outwit Batman. This version of the Joker was famously portrayed by Cesar Romero in the 1966 Batman television series, starring Adam West. Romero’s Joker was campy, fun, and always laughing—a far cry from the deadly mastermind of the early comics. While this portrayal entertained audiences and became iconic in its own right, it wasn’t until the 1970s that the Joker would return to his darker roots.

The Dark Knight’s Nemesis: The Joker’s Return to Villainy : The 1970s marked a significant turning point for the Joker as comic writers like Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams sought to restore the character to his original, terrifying form. In Batman #251 (1973), titled The Joker’s Five-Way Revenge, the Joker once again became a homicidal maniac, dispatching his former henchmen in gruesome ways. This issue re-established the Joker as an unpredictable and dangerous foe, rekindling his menacing rivalry with Batman. The Joker’s darker tone was further solidified in 1988’s The Killing Joke, written by Alan Moore. This graphic novel delved deep into the Joker’s psyche, exploring his possible origin story as a failed comedian who was driven insane by a series of tragic events. The Killing Joke introduced the concept that the Joker’s madness was born out of one bad day, turning him into the embodiment of chaos. It also marked a pivotal moment in comic book history when the Joker infamously paralyzed Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), showcasing the extent of his cruelty.

The Joker’s evolution from a mischievous comic book villain to a complex cinematic icon is a testament to the character’s versatility and impact on pop culture. With each new portrayal, the Joker continues to challenge audiences, pushing the boundaries of what makes a villain compelling. As he continues to evolve, one thing remains clear—the Joker will forever be one of the greatest and most unforgettable characters ever created.

Understanding Arkhamverse scarecrow.

I’ve been wanting to make this post for awhile. I think with the release of Arkham shadow we might finally have all the necessary pieces to understand the life of Jonathan crane, his motivations and his descent into obsession.

This scene gives us a lot to work with.

Let’s start with this. It seems like unlike some versions of crane who see fear as a tool. The true face of control and power. Arkhamverse Crane sees fear as everything. This has been observed all throughout the series. From him discussing how fear drives every human action in Arkham asylum to this line in Arkham knight just before he’s defeated.

Something else I noted in that clip was Jonathan immediately trying to rationalise and analyse his reaction to his toxin using fear.

Now we’re not quite sure what this original chemical of his does. Only that its intention is to trigger the shadow within people. We can assume through both his and Batman’s reactions that it aims to do this through a similar process to the future fear toxin. Bringing out and facing people with their deepest fears. Hoping they may become them.

Though that leaves the same question. Why jump to fear. He’s clearly talented in chemistry. Surly there would be more direct ways to bring out people’s demons rather than only focusing on a single part of the shadow. Well I believe that shows us even before this realisation Jonathan had some experience and issues with fear. It’s also why his greatest fear seemingly is just. Fear itself. The helpless fears given to us from evolutions and experiences long before our time. Inherent fears.

However we also shouldn’t disregard his fixation on the shadow itself. Why does he seemingly want to get people to become their worst selves. As seen in his tapes with Harvey. Why is Jonathan crane like this?

Well I think there may have been a time where he saw someone consumed by fear. Destoryed by it.

This could draw an interesting parallel to the story of Amadeus Arkham whose story started when he watched his own mother be consumed by her mental illness before ending up consumed by it himself. I think this parallel could make a lot of sense given that I’d argue although the joker plays a more personal threat scarecrow is the main villain of the Arkham series.

So allow me to tell you what I believe to be the story of Jonathan Crane in the Arkham series. Assuming that the brief backstory we got in his Arkham asylum character bio isn’t considered canon.

A parent or other caregiver suffered from great anxiety and paranoia that caused them to do great harm. Maybe overtime perhaps in one tragic incident. Jonathan internalised this and began to grow interested in the mind. Maybe it started with good intentions. After all he does claim to be helping people in Arkham shadow. Maybe that was a lie and he’s been twisted for a very long time. Who knows.

He began work at Gotham state university and we know how that ended up.

Though it’s worth noting he clearly was brilliant. So much so that this incident unlike most versions of the character did not get him fired because his classes brought the university so much revenue. Instead he left on his own accord to take over as head of rehabilitation at blackgate. An odd choice given the amount of institutions bidding over him. They were likely offering more, far more than the job he took. Though I think his motivations for this were split. Partly is of course the obvious motivation of easy access to test subjects that couldn’t easily speak out. We can see in the previous game that he was running controlled tests likely of the chemicals we see used in Arkham shadow and his subjects were willing participants.

Now either not enough people were choosing to participate or the effects were becoming so potent it risked drawing unwanted attention to his work.

The second reason connects to my proposed backstory. Maybe he was curious to explore how fear connects and causes crime and violence via the shadow. The chain reaction that begins WITH fear.

We then see the events that happen in Arkham shadow and we find out alongside Jonathan that he’s been inhaling his own chemicals during testing. Smart move there buddy. This sends him into a psychotic spiral and forces him to confront and become his greatest fear. His shadow. Fear itself. We can see that this truly set in given how messed up he looks the following day. Not to mention his actions becoming erratic. No longer thinking to hide his crimes until after he severely injures Harvey and huffing his own chemicals right in court.

Afterwards? We’re not sure. Of course he goes on to become the scarecrow then the events play out as we see throughout the rest of the Arkham games. He gets mauled by killer croc during the events of asylum and his previously smug and joyfully sadistic personality get destroyed alongside his face. The experience clearly changed him quite drastically as a person. Although clearly it didn’t shake his core ideals and beliefs about the all consuming nature of fear.

How pitifully ironic that this idea became true in the end. As he’s injected with his own toxins his mind collapsing and giving way to permanent insanity and terror. Fear really was everything Jonathan had left in the end.

So anyway I think it would be funny if Garrus kept getting a bit distracted during his extensive research into human biology

Like obviously he reads the pamphlets (helpfully provided by Mordin) and watches the porn (gleefully provided by Joker) but he also does a bunch of his own extranet deep-diving because he's Like That, he's got Detective Brain, and he doesn't half-ass anything

But he knows the Normandy extranet hub is not private: Cerberus is probably spying on all of them, EDI has unrestricted systems access and a tendency to share anything she finds interesting with Joker, Legion can hack into anything, Tali likes to gossip. So, to a) avoid putting Shepard in an awkward position with the Illusive Man and b) keep his sex life private, he uses vague search terms. Human biology. Human organs. Evolution of humanity. Human reproductive cycle. Interesting facts about humans. Interspecies workplace communication.

And then he gets sidetracked. 50 Weird Facts About Humans leads him to 10 Reasons Humans Are Scary which leads him to an article about humans as persistence predators. An Overview Of Human Body Parts leads him to 5 Body Parts Humans Don't Actually Need which leads him to articles on wisdom teeth and tonsils and the appendix, which can apparently explode at random. He gets clickbaited.

And now he has all this new knowledge he finds fascinating and wants to share! So he starts doing things like telling Kelly how many bones she has, or explaining Why Humans Evolved Eyelashes at the dinner table and then asking Jack why she evolved eye hairs, but not head hairs. Or asking Jacob how tall he is, and then thoughtfully musing about how that's short for his species.

And, in Shepard's cabin, when he nervously mentions having done some research, she slinks over to get all up in his personal space in her bathtowel and asks him what he learned. At which point he panics, all the sexy one liners about sensitive spots evacuate his brain immediately, and he blurts out that according to the extranet, the anus is the first part of an infant human to develop in the womb, so, you know, when Saren said humans were a bunch of assholes he was not technically wrong

(Shepard looks at him for a minute. Like, a really long minute. Just blinking. He's fairly sure he's about to be booted into the elevator and she'll keep the wine, to get over this disastrous encounter. And then she explodes with laughter, tells him he's ridiculous, and shuts him up by kissing him, because at least someone here has her head in the game)
