🩸🌈JOKER SPREAD🔪🕸️

(copic markers, prismacolor pencils, micron liners, grabie and shuttle ping markers, and lots of stickers on multi media paper. ) a bit unhappy with the full body shots..the faces r a bit weird. anyway, i was very inspired by drag makeup and other queer medias for these doodles. as for the lingerie fit, it’s sorta based on the unused design for joker in the comic: “Arkham Asylum a serious house on serious earth.” where they were going to have him dressed up as madonna from her mv “listen to your heart”. anyway, sorry for the absence i rlly don’t use this platform much. have some closeups. u mofos better be boycotting.

thoughts on the first issue of Joker Year One (please reblog with yours, especially if you disagree with me!! Listening to other people's perspectives of a story is the best part of being a comic book fan!)

The scenes that happen in the future are cheap horror and not even scary anymore. How many fucking times are we getting the same "ohhh EVERYONE is the Joker now!!" stories before DC drops it? It was never cool in the first place. Gets points for the Duke mention though.

The scenes of the actual Year One are technically well-written with a pretty easy-to-understand narrative, and I enjoyed Batman's narration. However, any attempts to humanize Joker fail miserably, at least to me. Joker, as a concept, doesn't work if he's a human being. If the goal is to symbolize man's ability to rationalize evil or the fact that the worst people you know were still good at one point, you do that with Red Hood, or Cheetah, or Harley Quinn, or Parallax. Joker isn't Joker if you make us think about him as a person. He's best interpreted as a source of pure, chaotic evil, and to make him anything but that ruins his dynamic with Batman, Harley, and even his own crooks. A Joker you sympathize with isn't the Joker. The whole point is that he's entirely irredeemable. It's why he's the foil to Batman.*

*By this I mean that Batman is a character who obsesses over second chances. Batman is, by nature, someone who believes everybody will change if given the time and environment to. He's adamant about rehabilitation. That's the very core of his ideals. It's why Joker needs to be absolutely unfixable. Just crazy, unadulterated cruelty. Batman, even with all his kindness, can't fix Joker. And so when you make him something that is inherently human underneath, it ruins the illusion that this is a chase Batman can't win, and it makes Joker essentially useless from a meta-narrative standpoint.

"The Joker Year One" Event Begins in "Batman #142"

DC Comics' "Dawn of DC" initiative will include a 3-part "The Joker Year One" storyline in the pages of Batman. The storyline hails from writer Chip Zdarsky and artists Giuseppe Camuncoli, Stefano Nesi, Andrea Sorrentino, Alejandro Sánchez, and Dave Stewart.

According to DC Comics, "In part one, the tragic “death” of the leader of the Red Hood Gang in a vat of chemicals has become the subject of myth…but what is the heartbreaking and gruesome tale of the monster who walked away from that violent birth?" The 3-part story will show the re-forming of the Red Hood Gang as well as a "mysterious figure from Batman's past" that will change the Joker "forever." (DC Comics)

Each issue of "The Joker Year One" storyline will also feature a story that shows the impact The Joker will have on Batman.

Part One of "The Joker Year One" begins in Batman #142, on sale on February 6, 2024. Part Two takes place in Batman #143, on sale February 13, 2024, and Part Three concludes the story arc in Batman #144, on sale February 20, 2024.

After the events of "The Joker Year One," Batman will begin the 4-part "Dark Prisons" storyline.

-Slides into DPxDC fandom and slaps down another AU sticky note on everyone's forehead-

Kinda single mom (maybe Queen Regent? if we got Ghost King route) Jazz! to triplets (deaged) Danny, Dan, and Dani! and they all get sent to the DCverse to start new lives.

The three were ditching school, secretly of course mostly to help get money for Jazz and themselves, when they get taken by the Joker because he decides the Wayne bait looking kids would make the most interesting hostages for the game he wanted to play.

Jazz is NOT happy when she senses them in danger. (and it happened during her job hours too so she had to book it out citing a 'family emergency'. She knows she's no doubt going to be fired for leaving the way she did but fine, she hated the job anyways and her boss was a creep.)

Jason falls head over heels when he see's this amazonian tall/powerful woman knock out a good number of Joker's teeth and basically destroys him when he got info of where the Joker was hiding out after the clown kidnapped some kids from his turf.

Speaking of the kids, they are busy cheering their big sister on and hoping she wouldn't be too upset that they ditched school. And...

Was Red Hood a Reverent?! Cool!

DP x DC: Clown Car

Based off THIS

Danny, having gotten really into circus and clown history, culture, and craft, has decided to mess with the Joker. Not just because he’s a villain, but because he’s a shitty clown. And Danny is willing to out clown him to prove his point.

The Clown Car incident

No one knew what to expect when a small car drove up to the Joker in the middle of his dramatic villainous speech. By the look on the Joker’s face, he didn’t know what to expect either. 

The mysterious clown had been harassing him for a few weeks now. A foiled heist here, a botched plan there. So it wasn’t entirely unexpected for the clown to climb out of the car. What was unexpected was when another clown came out of the car talking to goofing with the first. Then another, and another. Soon a flood of clowns came pouring out, all in different costumes and slightly different shapes but with the same makeup. Some even had “construction” equipment, large rubber mallets, a wooden board carried between two, a bucket of whitewash. One after the other they came, until the Joker was lost amongst a sea of clowns, shouting and fuming, trying to be heard over the honking and shenanigans. 

Joker was pissed, but kept getting caught up in the various bits the clowns engaged in. He got wacked with the board, and managed to get flipped over it, the bucket of whitewash landed on his head. He kept getting tripped and moved about as if he was simply a part of the act. 

In the crowd, Tim Drake recorded the whole thing. A few minutes after it had started, the clowns had packed up and left in their tiny car with a disoriented and confused Joker facing Batman.

Tim sent the video to Dick and Jason, and the mystery clown gained two new fans that day

or

Danny used intangibility and duplication to pull of the clown car solo after spending two weeks making enough unique costumes for each duplicate.

Technically the anniversary of this madness is tomorrow, but it’s related to today’s anniversary because a year ago, I just innocently tagged him in a Tavastia video I took and he then proceeded to go insane in my DMs and accidentally send me a video.

”Hups piti laittaa stoori 😂😂😂” - Jere

And to add more context, I said to him:

”My god Jere, do I even dare to open that video?”

And his response was:

”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 there’s nothing bad in it”

happy one year to the most insane bojan pic I have ever taken

dp x dc prompt #58

danny and a couple rogues, maybe his friends from amity, or just by himself starts up a haunted house in gotham. the reviews are stellar and you can hear the screams from across town.

everything goes smoothly until the joker tries to escape through his building.

the bats get spooked, danny bullies batman, and the joker comes out at the end babbling nonsense about the ghost king trying to eat his soul.
