What was the point of Joker cutting off his face when it would

>>93982255
Because it was edgy as fuck. Personally, i love deformed characters because i think body horror is cool, but it was totally unnecessary from a storytelling standpoint and reaked of bad writing. They should did a redesign where the joker looked more acid burnt and gory from his dip in a vat of chemicals if they really needed him to look disgusting.

>>93982255
There wasn't, the writer of The Dark Knight, the worst New52 Bat ongoing(not Snyder before you all jump down his throat), just wanted a shock moment.

This was just Tony Daniel being a gorefag.

>Made the Joker cut off his own face (something that never had a resolution since editorial cut him off the book).
>Planned to cut off Superbros arm (editorial cut him off the book BEFORE the gore could happen this time).

One thing that got me was the lack of motivation. Why would joker cut off his own face, an act that would literally make him never smile again. Its so fucking stupud.

It really was a wasted opportunity to not have a new villain that wore Joker's face as a cover.

Basically things would be the same, but readers could say that this guy is darker and more violent because he is a psychopath that is using a slice of flesh like a totem.

I love Tony Daniel's art, but holy fuck, he should not be allowed to write.

literally what Duella Dent did

Money. D'uh.

Because there was an interesting implication that followed it during Endgame, when reader was made to question whether Joker is actually an immortal regenerating entity or was he simply restored due to the dyonesium lake. Because if the first option was correct, it means that in order to keep everyone from knowing his secret before he was ready to reveal it, Joker had to contiually cut off his own face after Dollamker did it, due to it regenerating.

Snyder told Daniels to do that.

He didn't cut out his face idiot, a B- villain made it so he could sell it as a trophy for rich mobsters

This could have been a amazing arc with good writing, Joker trolling Batman into thinking that he was a imortal demon just to mess with him was the most Joker thing he did in the last years

No, that was Andy Diggle, the writer, that's why he left Action Comics after 3 issues... not because they wouldn't let him cut the arm, but because they told him he could do it, then changed their mind at the last moment... New 52 editorial must've been a bitch to work with.

I'm surprised they let Daniels do what he did. That seems like the kind of decision that needs the ok from the main bat writer and all relevant editorial.

Better than Capullos shitty Hitler youth hairstyle that he gives everyone because he's awful

Snyder is a horror movie fan and wanted Joker to look like Michael Myers for one arc. White mask, stolen garage uniform.

>>93982255
What is the point of anything when it is magically restored during the next story arc? they throw shit at the wall and keep what gets popular

>>93984401
But the reason why Michael Myers' design works is the fact that his creepy, blank and emotionless mask is a perfect representation of his sociopathic personality.
What the fuck was Joker's "mask" supposed to represent?

>hey, remember when TDK Joker had those scars on his mouth and everyone loved them ?
>well what if we did that, TO HIS WHOLE FACE ?

>>93986298
