Why don't the police kill the Joker?

>>91344015
Why doesn't Amanda Waller hire Deathstroke to kill the Joker?

>>91344015
Because the writers will either make the police into inept dumbasses who can't shoot the broadside of a barn, are corrupt as fuck and are just the goons for him or Batman will stop a police officer from killing that fucking clown for contrived reasons.

That's a very good question.
We are CONSTANTLY told that the GCPD are super-duper corrupt. I don't know about you, but corrupt policemen aren't know for being lenient to cop-killers.
There is no way that somebody that's killed as many cops as the Joker wouldn't have been killed long ago for "resisting arrest", "I swear I thought he had a gun", "he was totally running away" or "he hung himself in his cell". And knowing our justice system, nobody would bother pressing charges and Batman would be the only person that actually cared.

They've tried.

He got better.

Um because they're police officers, and killing people is illegal

next question

>corrupt policemen aren't know for being lenient to cop-killers.

This. Corrupt policemen don't abide criminals who kill their own for money, they become vigilantes and murder those who harm their comrades. The fact that Joker is still alive is retarded.

>>91344127
This. These people are functionally immortal.

>>91344159

Its implied the Joker and his madness is some kind of curse which has plauged Gotham from the start. The figure of an evil jester keeps appearing no matter how many times they're killed.

>>91344127
New editorial mandate, if you kill off a character it stays dead forever. Only way to bring it back is to write stories before their death.

Comics are now improved.

Yes, because no criminals ever work with the cops, since they know that other criminals got caught/killed before.

You wish corrupt cops were that honorable, they know perfectly well they aren't just any cop in the eyes of organized crime.

>>91344058
I hate Robot Chicken but I love that Mark Hamill actually voices the Joker here.

Batman needs to shove his winkey up Joker's hairy stinky.

>>91344015
Not just the police, what about the staff at Arkham Asylum?
More importantly, what about the mob? The Joker is a huge thorn in their sides too, he once walked into Carmine Falcone's bedroom after killing all of his security guards and threatened to kill him. There is no way Carmine wouldn't have put a huge price on his head in retaliation.

Nah, you now have to make a new character or have a limited window to write stories between his debut and his death. A large part of the stagnation in cape comics comes from the lack of consequences and the fact that there are only so many stories you can tell with the exact same cast. The inability of companies to let go is also why so many people perceive comics as a hard thing to get into. Because there is a trillion years of history for the character and they feel like it's stuff they need to know.

>>91344309

Okay, so we completely abandon the idea of making money then, I guess.

I dislike stagnation as much as the next guy but it sells more than durable change. It's been proven countless times at this point. New beginnings work to get new readers for a limited time, but the real consumer meat is in doing the same shit over and over.

Bane you should have killed him, you would have been the real hero of Gotham.

The Gotham PD must have a roster of saints with the discipline of monks for him to not have been shot dead at a scene, or killed in lockup

>>91344380
Not really, some of the best selling non-us, non-cape comics are very tied to continuity and the most popular series on TV right now are all heavily serialized with plenty of permanent death.

Great work, asshole. These comics sure do feel better.
>>91344380
To be fair the money motto isn't really speaking to the quality of a product.
But really it's a lose/lose. Change nothing you're trapped with the bullshit that lead to stagnant comics and plot contrivance. Make these changes and you're opening up to serious customer dissatisfaction because a shitty writer's bad ideas. In the end both these come from bad writers. Readers could just accept the idea comics are better read from the point of view that arcs and runs are more the meat and reading the entirety of a series/character isn't necessary wise or even possible.
It's really too late to do shit about Big 2 capeshit's status quo problem without saying "why not just read NonBig2 comics?"
>>91344387
Robot Chicken hate seems pretty passive. We never really talk about the show like Family Guy or some shit like that

Good thing we aren't alking about capes then. Oh, wait.

>>91344015
Why do people think killing him would actually stop him, anyway? He's a supervillain. At least not killing him ensures he doesn't go to become pals with the devil or something.

>>91344487
>To be fair the money motto isn't really speaking to the quality of a product.

>>91344302
Does this lead to porn?

>>91344042
Because that faggot Batman would protect him.

>>91344546
Sorry for taking so long, never noticed the answer and was doing other things. Oh well , here goes:

It obviously ends in a mexican standoff between joker, batman and slade. Not because batman cares for joker or any gay stuff like that, but because it's he's freaking city, he won't tolerate assassins, even ones hired by a shadowy branch of the government.

Joker finds batman trying to stop someone from killing him, funny, obviously.

There's a 'match' between batman's family and slade's lack of one (in the sense that slade didn't call rose or jericho to help him) while batman has the batfamily. batman considers this an advantage, slade doesn't and claims the stuff he set up to keep them occupied will be more than match for them and kill them. In the midst of battle slade gets a shot at the joker, shoots, but somehow misses (think pulp fiction and the bullet behind jackson).

With the batman spiraling out of hand and the fact that somehow the bullet missed joker, slade bails out of this whole craziness.

However, he has to deal with the fact that he failed his contract, somehow.

He's obviously aware -he stated it from the start, to waller- that him dying by the joker, or captured by batman is as much a success to her as him killing joker.
So he chooses to interpret the event as she trying to get him out, rather than it being a 'genuine' contract.

But he got the money. It's obviously untraceable , but if he were to kill her, questions might start circulating and it might be found out that he killed her and that she had hired him too. Slade killing an employer can't be made public, it's bad for business.
He also can't let her get away with using him, because it's also bad for business. And annoying.
So what he does is sneak into her office, they have a small talk about the situation and he explains his dilemma to her.
The answer he comes up with is that he can't kill her, but he has to make sue he won't tolerate being used like that either. So (cont)

>>91345608
so he comments that being as fat as she is, moving around , climbing stairs must be hard. As a reminder to not mess with him, he'll make it a little harder. he shoots her knee and walks out. He knows she'll never let it be known that he bailed on his contract, because then it'd be obvious that he was also shoot her leg and got away with it. And the great amanda waller can't have that

>>91344058
Someone actually seems to get it. There is literally no reason outside of bad writing why the joker shouldn't get the death penalty

>>91344776
its probably the best compromise there is. "I can make him sane......for a while."

That would be the best joke ever. Joker cuts in line at a Taco Bell or whatever and some fat accountant working on his third heart attack pulls a gun and empties the magazine in his back.
