>Superman and Batman have team up books for decades
>Luthor and Joker almost never team up
>they aren't even friends

What the fuck is wrong with DC writers?
>>
>>91931408
It's kinda what's right with writers. While the novelty might be fun for a while Luthor's smug and Joker's crazy, and while both may smile, the whole team-up would be spent with them trying to out kek the other one.

tl;dr: no solid narrative.
>>
DCAU's team up was fun
https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=1ls0FC6oTV8

Lex Luthor is an egomaniac control freak and Joker lives to undermine people with sticks up their ass. Even as an odd couple thing it could only work in Brave and the Bold levels of cartoonish settings.

There's no reason to be friends.
>>
>>91931408

Why would they be friends?
>>
One's a box stuffed with fireworks, TNT and nitroglycerin topped C-4 and the other's a twitchy kid with a brand new lighter. Any team up would end badly for the both of them.
>>
>>91931408
There's less than no reason for them to be friends.

It would make more sense for Circe and Black Manta to be pals, since they at least have something in common.

Shit, I'd even by Sinestro and Universo being buddies.
>>
>>91931408
They had a good team up in that DCAU animated movie thing, I think, and the few other times they've crossed paths have been decent at least.

The main issues with them getting together often would be that the characters are too radically different, and that the novelty would wear off quick.
>>
>>91931699
They hate Batman and Superman.

Why are Bruce and Clark friends? The only real reason is "They're both superheroes."
>>
>>91932765
Bruce and Clark have a history with each other, respect each other, and place a great deal of trust in each other. They've experienced a lot together and have forged a strong connection.

Lex would never respect the Joker and Joker would soon as kill Luthor the moment the perfect opportunity presents itself.
>>
>>91932765
I mean, that's pretty much as good a reason as anyone has to be friends with who they're friends with. If you spend a lot of time with someone you get along with and you have vaguely similar interests, you'll be friends.

Hop off that Batdick.
>>
>>91931408
I think it's in the DCAU where Lex says that he didn't bring in the Joker on some supervillain team-up because "everyone knows that the Joker's too wild."
>>
>>91933632

I think he means attempt too, whether he'd succeed is another question.

I think realistically Joker would try to kill Luthor for the lolz at some point.
>>
>>91932765
They are both manchildren that had unusual childhood, obsessed over collecting stuff, their collections are bigger than most museums, they both find easy to relate to animals and love life. Outside superheroism they bothtruly love adventures. Clark and Bruce have a lot of reasons to be friends, batman and superman are rivals. Remember, Bruce call him Clark, while Diana calls him Kal.
>>
Lex teamed up with Joker on Infinite Crisis' ending and it was super cute! We deffo need more of this anti-super pair.

I'm pretty sure they used to team up back in the Silver Age days. There's also the occasional spinoff like Lego Batman 2
Overall though, it'd be hard to justify them considering how different they are.
>>
>>91935358
Explain why that's significant to a non comic reading dumbo.
>>
>>91931408
Because usually Luthor is also a legit business man and the best way to keep it hidden that he has worked with someone like the Joker, thus possibly fucking his image and his business' image over, is to never work with him. Do you even PR?
>>
>>91931408
Wasn't there that miniseries where all the DC villains were dropped off on some alien world and Lex and Joker ended up heading two opposing factions?

Clark doesn't even need to sleep. Unless he was depowered for whatever reason in that issue.

In pre-Flashpoint canon when they first met and went quickly to a romantic date she kept comparing him to an Olympian god, drawing parallels between and questioning once he started disagreeing with her. Later on she complained to herself that she he wasn't the god she thought he was, more of an enforcer to men's rule too content in protecting the status quo of the world.

In New 52 as well with her comparing herself and Superman to Zeus and stressing how different they're from the humans, in a conversation meant to highlight the fact she was distancing herself from Steve Trevor because she felt guilty over him getting hurt because his association to her since he's all too human and feeble.

Wonder Woman when paired with Superman is there to highlight his alien and godly nature.

I feel like Lex and the Joker could be united in their mutual hatred.

Lex really, REALLY hates Superman, and Joker really, REALLY hates Batman. Their antipathy binds them together.

Joker does kinda have a point, the promise that superman represents falls apart as soon as he enforces his own moral order.

Then he just becomes the thing he fights and humanity loses it's savior and gains a tyrant.

Wouldn't Ras not like Lex since he runs one of those big mega corps that's ruining the planet?

They should only ever team up briefly, like once every five or ten years. It should be special because as damn near everyone else has mentioned, they have no reason to really be friends. Lex fucking hates the Joker.

That's the problem with villain books. What would the plot be? What would they even do? I can't imagine it being very focused. You can't have them succeed at their main goals, because obviously, you just can't have them kill Batman/Superman/whoever. You'd pretty much have to go with the 'villain takes on another villain', cliche eventually.

As much as I would love to see something like this, or a Black Manta book, it could never work as an on-going. It'd have to be a mini, like Villains United or Rogues Revenge.

>>91934471
That was actually a great moment. There was also the first World's Finest movie. I actually really like the Lex Luthor/Joker team-up. They compliment each other about as well as Batman and Superman do. The problem is, you couldn't really have them as the protagonists except in the most special of circumstances.

>have shared goals and values in many ways

If this isn't friend material, then what is?

By comparison, Lex and Joker would be oil and water. Their ways of viewing the world and approaching problems are incompatible in more ways than not. They actually have literally no reason to be allies other than mutual enemies.

Batman keeps his secret identity very tightly guarded most of the time; to most of the League he's just "Batman", but to Superman (and Wonder Woman usually) he's just "Bruce" in a friendly first-name basis way.
Meanwhile, Diana calls Superman "Kal" after the name then alien culture he descends from gave him, but Bruce addresses him as "Clark" because he recognizes that Superman spent his ENTIRE LIFE growing up on Earth.

They're on a first-name basis when all the world knows them by pseudonyms and public facades that they throw up in front of themselves.
>>
>>91935521
That's not precisely true.
Clark doesn't physically need sleep because he doesn't get tired, but he needs it psychologically the same way we do, to keep his brain functioning in a way that keeps him sane and stable.
>>
>>91940320
Kinda like the bad guy in Irredemable?
>>
>>91938017
Joker doesn't precisely hate Batman, especially not the way Luthor hates Supes. The Joker has had NUMEROUS occasions where he could just murder Batman outright and he does not for example.

It's more that both are obsessed with their respective nemeses, but while Lex's obsession is clearly channeled into a very nearly pathological hatred, Joker's obsession is just plain old obsession, and while he does try to kill Batman it's not his overriding life goal so much as it is to troll him constantly.
>>
>>91940344
I dunno, never read it.
It's more that though he's very smart, his actual brain isn't enhanced and it's chemistry and methods of organizing itself still functions identically to ours; he NEEDS a few hours of sleep every night to allow his subconscious to do the shit it needs to do to keep him lucid and rational.

There was an arc where Bats and Supra switched powers and Batman started loosing it because unlike Clark he wasn't aware of this limitation because it's something Clark doesn't actually think about very often since he slowly adjusted to his gradually growing powers over a period of many years rather then got them all at once like Bruce suddenly did.
>>
>>91940260
*pepsi
>>
>>91940388
That's exactly Max Damage's weakness to his powerset. The longer he goes without sleep, the stronger and tougher he gets.

In theory, the comic states that there's no upper limit to how strong he could become. In practice, after the fourth or fifth day he starts becoming paranoid, nervous, and needs to chug down pills just so that he doesn't fall asleep on the spot. Then every time he sleeps his powers reset.
>>
>>91940460
That is one weird superpower, but sure.
And Superman's need for sleep isn't that great a weaknesses because the ONLY amount of sleep he needs is to allow his mind to function normally, and as soon as that process is done he can wake right up since he doesn't actually require the physical aspect of rest beyond that.
>>
Bad guys are usually dicks and don't work well with others. A team up between them usually ends up in pissing contests. Imagine the shitshow that would be Lex and Eobard Thawne trying to prove who is smarter because one criticized the others ULTIMATE LIFE RUINING PLAN.

Of course, only the master himself.

What I especially love is how they perfectly parallel/contrast the actual trinity.
Diana would also be reluctant to let someone of scrupulous character into the league. Batman would make the opposite of a joke and run down their many crimes and flaws. Superman would do as Lex does and point out being excluding and judging members only from their worst isn't wise.
All we need now is for Sinestro to walk in and say something arrogant while Prof Zoom says all he cares about is hurting as many innocents to hurt Barry

Indeed. I think the reason Joker doesn't show up in some Luthor-led villain team-ups isn't because Lex didn't ask him. It's just because Joker wasn't interested when Lex asked him.

Since Superman: Secret Origin is canon again i guess that makes the story where Jor-El met Thomas Wayne canon as well, because it was from that time period. Jor-El decided Earth would be a good planet for Kal after meeting Thomas and asked Thomas to take care of his alien child.

Fantastic 4/Marvel Knights: 2 drop Mr. Fantastic searches for equipments and double stack on MK chars
Faces of Evil (Thunderbolts/Masters of Evil): weenie swarm deck
Good Guys (JLA/JLI): 1 drop searches for 2 drop (Blue Beetle & Booster), while 3 drop searches for 4th (Hawkgirl & Hawkman). With game winning turn 5 beatdown with either Steel or Black Canary
Anti-Green Lantern: recruit AGL (army card so you can have multiples) from the graveyard with Felix Faust and win by turn 3 or 4 the earliest.

The game plays as fast as MtG. And each set pertains to a few teams, with each team usually having 2-3 mechanics to work with.

>since when the fuck would Lex consider himself a supervillain?
Some versions of him are baldfaced about his sociopath tendencies. Either way, to digest it just imagine it's like the President angle, it's a position he takes just to get his way and people following or fold to him. He doesn't really want or need it.
>>
>>91948484
I could see Luthor working with some of the Rogue's Gallery.

The Penguin springs to mind, Riddler and Mr Freeze are a bit of a stretch. Depending on the story, all these characters could have complex enough motivations to work with Lex and Lex could see them as means to an end enough to indulge them for a time. It does seem like they would be working for a common goal and the fact they share JLA cofounders as enemies would have to be secondary for the story to have any legs.

Joker's playing the long con in a philosophical sense for sure

I've never seen her refer to a married woman by her maiden name. It's just dumb bullshit about her not getting that it's actually part of him rather than a fake identity.

The Batman and Superman, they each represent the other's ideals. Batman would love to see the world the way Superman sees it, and his goody-two shoes boy scout image appeals to someone who's lived in darkness for so long. To Bruce, Superman is the ultimate force of good.

Meanwhile, Batman, along with Lois, represents everything that Superman loves and admires about the human race. Even though there are assholes like Luthor around, Bruce and Lois embody the inherent good and potential of humanity, the courage to stand up for what's right despite being squishy humans, to fight against insurmountable odds for what they believe in. In a sense, it's somewhat humbling to be in their presence. Despite being Superman, there are some humans that he just can't compare to in certain ways.

Nah. The artist actually gives Clark a very pronounced chin. Bruce actually kind of recognizes that Clark is Superman because of that chin.

WW seeing Superman as a godly hero is something that was established way back in the 80's by Perez and Byrne.

It wouldn't fly with modern versions of the characters anyway. Joker doesn't play nice with others like he used to. Before, he'd sometimes team up with other villains, but nowadays, literally no one trusts him. He's too much of a wild card, too unpredictable. The man is just as likely to kill you on a whim as he is to pull some cruel scheme on the Bat. No one in their right mind would want to work with modern Joker.

On top of that, there's no real means of gaining any sort of leverage on modern Joker. He barely gives a shit about his own life as it is so you can't threaten his life. As far as anyone knows, there's nothing he particularly values so you can't blackmail him.

About the only things he cares about are having a laugh and the Batman.

I don't think you understand the destructive power of a superwad. You don't just go fucking clark without a deathwish.

I assume bats has the K rock and slips it in supes booty "against his will".

I like to think that Batman built a custom red sun lamp and gave it to Superman as an awkward birthday present so he could use it with whoever his lover is at the time.

Oh, they have the same color scheme! That's why they can't team up.

They're not so much alike. The common denominator is their hatred of their nemesis.

Lex actually has more in common with R'as.

This kind of interaction is great though. I'd love a mini series about Lex and Joker teaming up and shitting on each other the whole time.

Hey, I don't suppose if anyone knows, has that Mortal Konflict vs. DC or Murderous Kombat vs. DC or whatever that vidyagame is called touched on this? It so conveniently has all the same subjects there!!
