Bruce why the fuck is he still alive?
>>81498244
You got any idea how much merch he moves? Holy shit, the t-shirts alone make enough to buy us a whole 'nother manor! The kids can't get enough of this dude! It's crazy!
Because that movie was a retarded piece of shit.
>>81498398
the appropriate response how do you think Bruce affords all this shit
>>81498462
It was okay.
BRUCE WHY ISN'T MY DAMN DOOR FIXED
>>81498244
Let me answer your question with another question, Jay... why the fuck are YOU still alive?
I mean, you were actually, clinically dead. But you came back, right? Because we live in a world where bullshit super-science and magic is a dime a dozen.
If I killed the Joker, he'd just come back all extra-crazy with Lazarus Pit strength, or as a fucking zombie with a Black Lantern ring, or SOMETHING. Hell, even if all that shit could be avoided, he'd probably just fucking come back as a good old fashioned ghost to haunt Gotham, because Lord knows this city is built on a fucking hellmouth.
>>81498244
BECAUSE HIS MOM'S NAME IS MARTHA TOO
>>81498398
>>81499060
IT'S BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN BE REDEEMED
EVEN THIS CRAZY PSYCHOPATH
>>81498244
Do we really need this thread every day?
>>81498244
Because they dropped him in a Lazarus Pit.
>>81499060
jesus fucking kekasaurus
>>81498244
BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, OKAY
>>81499060
>>81499060
>>81499060
>>81498244
Robin guns are bad
>>81500810
I don't know why I laughed at this.
>>81499060
I understand the joke, but I don't get why it's supposed to be funny.
>>81499060
>>81500934
Because this is all it took for them to throw ALL their differences aside.
>>81500934
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY
HIS MOMMY HAS THE SAME NAME AS MINE, IT MADE ME REALIZE HOW HUMAN HE REALLY IS
LEAVE HIM ALONE
>>81499003
That's actually a really good point that I would honestly like to see addressed.
The last thing gotham needs is a magic cyborg zombie Joker
Why didn't Batman just kill Jason?
He killed many people and was about to kill another man right in front of him!
Why doesn't Batmanparalyzethe Joker?
>>81498244
Batman makes a lot more sense if you just assume that he's fucking insane, and that he's fully aware of it. He channels that insanity into something that actually positively influences the world, but he's still dangerously crazy and he knows that if he ever actually kills anyone, there's zero chance that he'll be able to contain that part of him.
>>81499003
That is a good answer actually.
>>81498398
But this is the best.
>>81499060
>>81501443
He has. Everytime he had been he went to a secret lake underneath gotham and it would heal him. No seriously
>>81501443
cause then Joker kills himself and we're back to >>81499003 and possibly end up with some sort of Super-Joker and then things go all sorts of wrong(see JLA: Another Nail for a good example of this)
>>81501470
that makes it far worse
also you clearly havent read the comics
>>81499060
I kek'd heartily.
>>81499060
No anon, Joker is Martha.
>>81500934
Because it was shitty writing.
>>81501470
CRAWWWWLINGIIIIIIIIN MUHSKIIIIIIIIIIN
>>81501470
>>81503292
so gud
>>81499060
dat is mane
>>81503292
I'd like to see the Joker get BTFO more often. I'm sick of people calling him the greatest comic book villain ever.
>>81500934
Sssssh don't take it away from them.
>>81499060
12/10
>>81498244
Alright Jason
YOU kill him then.
>>81507711
Yeah, why IS Jason Todd still alive?
>>81507893
>>81507893
because comic book characters never permanently die.
>>81508092
No, I mean STILL, as in now.
>>81508092
SBP is incredible.
>>81508108
Except Batman's parents and and Spidey's Uncle Ben.
Until they revive Ben in next event, Jesus fucking Christ.
>>81508110
Because nobody's manages to kill him yet? I dunno what to tell ya.
He's got Robin training with Punisher's ethics, he's hard to nail down and kill I guess.
>>81508126
Robin training, plus assassin training, plus spirit swords sometimes, plus guns and lots of lethal gadgets like these crazy forearm guards, and armor. More curiously is how the others don't die without wearing or using shit.
>>81508126
>Punisher's ethics
And just like Frank, he'll never kill anyone important.
>>81508158
>plus spirit swords
>sometimes
Every time.
>>81508158
A whole lot irrelevant stuff added on to make him more "badass".
I guess nobody told American comics writers that Anita Blake shit doesn't even come off across as good writing in Anita Blake shit.
>>81508195
>And just like Frank, he'll never kill anyone important.
Always a downside.
At least with Frank there's the open admission that he doesn't care about that. In Mister Castle's opinion focusing on the "big names" of supervillain prevents many heroes from truly removing street crime in general like they should be doing, and there's some logic to that train of thought.
If you were a clever or subtle criminal who knew how to lay low and did NOT dress in a garish thematic costume, chances are guys like Spider-Man might not ever notice or find you unless you fell onto their lap.
>>81499003
>horrible crunching noise
>Joker's head goes flying into conveniently placed woodchipper
>Midnighter walks over to woodchipper dragging Joker's body
>"What?"
>Midnighter starts up woodchipper and feeds Joker's body into it
EVENT: You've never seen SWAMP JOKER!!!!
>>81500934
Because BvS sucked.
>>81498398
Perfect
From a logical standpoint, Bruce can't kill him. At the same time it's fucked up he'd stop anyone else from doing it. Red Hood has all the reason to do it. Jason Todd isn't mentally well to begin with. Being beaten to death and essentially nuked back from the great beyond, well that's going to make anyone a bit upset.
>>81507893
Because unlike 90% of comic characters he's able to sustain an ongoing... He also makes fangirls on Tumblr moist, and that's a demo DC will never stop targeting.
>>81504886
Agreed
His Mother's name was Martha. My one rule.... No killing. (People who's mommy has my mommy's name.)
>>81511527
Don't you have arms to burn off, Landisman?
>>81499060
I dont get it
>>81499060
no
joker is martha
>>81499003
Or the Joker could mindfuck a Robin and implant a copy of his conciousness into his mind that would take over after the Joker died.
Oh wait...
>>81511892
Only in Flashpoint
>>81498244
Because Joker is the NEXT BATMAN if bruce wayne died.
>>81508317
>If you were a clever or subtle criminal who knew how to lay low and did NOT dress in a garish thematic costume, chances are guys like Spider-Man might not ever notice or find you unless you fell onto their lap.
Except Fisk is EXACTLY the kind of guy he should be going after.
>>81498244
Why are you asking Bruce? You're the one who took a crowbar to his ass, maybe you should have finished the job!
>>81501779
Is this flashpoint paradox? I've only seen the animation but if theres more padding, I'd love to read it
>>81512801
Yep.
>>81513311
Great, now I have to binge watch the entirety of Breaking Bad again.
>>81499003
Joker did become a ghost that came back from hell to wreack havoc in The Nail elseworld story after Batman killed him for brutally murdering Robin in front of him
>>81503292
damn
>>81513425
>The Nail
One of my favorite Elseworlds.
>>81511386
Weren't there several comics where Batman tries to force his "no kill" policy on some other supers/vigilantes and they butt heads because of it?
>>81504886
It is pretty satisfying to see him squirming after being such a huge dick to other people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22HcvlmfRZY
>>81513572
This.
Although I feel they could've gone with a costume redesign. Doesn't feel too much like an elseworld when everyone's still wearing the same costumes. I felt like this book would have been more well known if they had their own iconic redesigned costumes to go off of.
