TellTale's Joker

If he's not portrayed that way is he really still the Joker?

Probably not, but props to Telltale for doing something different with the character.

>>94428372
Did the rest of the episode leak?

>>94428372
Just make a different character for once. There are so many versions of the Joker now it's really hard to pin down his personality. Joker is supposed to be a twisted psycho with a undiscovered back story. Just make a character that is as violent but has a tragic history. We're not supposed to feel anything for the Joker.

>>94428372
The Joker's been written awfully 95% of the time since the Killing Joke and Death in the Family. Those two stories came out in the same year and since then everyone's written him as a cuhrazzzzy murderer to top those two

Not everyone is a fucking sociopath, you know.

>>94428372
I'm pretty sure he's just trying to manipulate Bruce in this scene. That's what he does.

Also, who's funeral is that?

But that's all ok cause he felt bad about getting caught I guess?

>>94428372
He just looks like Kevin Conroy.

>>94428650
Batgirl is a terrible character and becoming Oracle was an upgrade. Jason was a literal who and now he's popular.

>>94428395
This. I don't know his motivations, I don't know his gameplan, but it's clear he does and how he can go from being buddy buddy to setting off a scene in no Time, just in Arkham, I really wanna see this Joker loose in the city

>>94428372
A-a-are they gonna fug?

>>94428573
Its not supposed to be sympathy for the Joker. It's supposed to be a feels bad for the fact that Joker can't be stopped killing more people without killing him. Which someone should because at this point you'd be saving thousands of lives. It's insane that the law or some random cop hasn't just put a bullet in Joker's skull yet. He's going to get out, he is going to kill people, there is literally no gain from letting him live.

>>94428677
Aaah, I see, you're a psycho who can't tell the difference between make believe and reality. Got you.

>>94428677
This. Nobody fucking liked Jason. I remember my uncle going into long winded rants about Todd when I asked about the Death in The Family Arc and how he was glad he called in to kill Todd.

Though obviously that means fuck all now.

>>94428756
What? I'm not the one who gets wound up over a fictional story.

Yes, Bruce has a tendency of sleeping with broken people like him.

>>94428738
It's a different take on the character, bro.

>>94428791
I'm literally talking about in universe effects and how we should feel about the Joker's despicable acts but you're responding like I'm talking about sales or some shit. You really have no clue how to socialise, do you?

Yeah, he was "literally who".

>>94428826
What is up with this "fuck me" eyes

>>94428848
And they are still a psycho murdering people. Where did I mention the fact it was a different Joker in that post? Even if I did, the argument still stands that Joker should have been killed by anyone to save thousands.

>>94428911
That's the favor.

>>94428911
>What is up with this "fuck me" eyes
He probably wants to get fucked.

>>94428677
If Joker didn't murder Jason we wouldn't have had Under the Hood, either.

I mean, sure, every arc after that featuring Jason having some focus was pure garbage, but it was nice.

This tells me .he wasn't generally well liked.

Good, then maybe we wouldn't have had the retarded scene where Batman saves Joker.

I've heard it rumored, but have never seen confirmation/proof of it.

>>94431862
It's not a rumor since O'Neil made a statement about it and he was the guy who made the poll.

>>94431781
Are you playing it right now? How does it end? Any more surprises?

>>94431237
Oh, you are an old geezer. This explains a lot.

He has kind of a Nick Cave thing going on.

>Do you think this take on the character will finally convince certain writers to stop portraying the Joker as an edgy murder happy psychopath?
To be fair, half the time he's just pretending to be an edgy murder happy psychopath to make a point. And half of those times that point is "fuck Batman".

>>94428372
I really like Telltale Batman
It's really done new angles on the characters that hasn't been done or can't be done elsewhere

>>94428395
I like how they've handled a lot of the franchise so differently

>>94428372
Did they base his model on Dafoe?

.>>94428395
“Beyond Riddler, there’s another major impending threat in play this season, something that we seeded in Batman: The Telltale Series with a character by the name of ‘John Doe.’ Internally, we refer to John as our ‘Proto-Joker’ — a man on the brink of madness who helped Bruce escape Arkham Asylum, only to come back this season with reason to believe that his ‘friend’ Bruce not only likes him but also owes him a favor.”

>“We want fans to know that their relationship with John Doe (and eventually, the Joker) is something they’ll be affecting with the decisions they make throughout the season. As Batman and Bruce attempt to stop the immediate threat to Gotham, John will be watching your every move and learning from your choices. By the end of the story, you will have created your own version of Batman’s classic nemesis through your interactions.”

Sounds interesting to say the least.

IMPRESSIVE

>>94432499
Why do they keep trying? They "never" remember that. It didn't matter how much you sucked Harvey's dick in the first game, he still refused to believe you about Selina and then tried to execute you, steal your estate and then burn down said estate.

Nothing you say or do to Joker will matter, except for maybe one end-of-episode decision that then determines if he likes or hates you. Everything else will be forgotten.

>>94432557
Calling it now. Since in this continuity Joker likes Bruce and not Batman, in the final episode you will be forced to apprehend him as Batman.

>>94432499
"sounds interesting"

They said the same thing about Harvey in season 1, and his actions made absolutely no fucking sense unless his face got burned and he went full two face. He just became an asshole anyway.

>>94432861
Joker knows Bruce is Batman, you idiot.

>>94433052
Who cares. It's bound to lead to drama.

>>94433013
Burning his face didn't make him crazy. It was the drug that he was injected with. Getting burned just makes him break out into two personalities faster and makes him hate Batman.

I finally have a videogame for under the Christmas tree.

I really like that you can choose what kind of Batman you want to be, although I wish there was a bit more range and you would have options ranging from The Brave and The Bold to Goddamn Batman.

>>94428650

That's why putting it in canon was a mistake, because the ending is supposed to imply that Batman has either killed him or gone insane at the realization that there's no avoiding having to kill him

>stop portraying the Joker as an edgy murder happy psychopath

But that's exactly what he is. He lives to fuck Batman's shit up, he's the antithesis to Batman and that's all he's ever been.

>>94432150
Agreed. It's very underrated, probably because of the general Telltale AND Batman fatigue, but it's one of the few works that does "reinterpretations" quite well (aside from Vale, IMHO).

>>94430137
Makes me think of 90's Hal Jordan when he had the greying sideburns

>>94433013
Which is why I decided to stick with the "burned face" option, the other one made little sense afterwards, and you can actually affect Selina's ending much more than Harvey's, who ends up in prison/asylum anyway.

I noticed the trailers had Alfred with an eye covered. I hope that's something you can change prior to the start, because my Bruce revealed his identity to protect Alfred.

>>94434286
Vale was a surprise, which after Arkham Knight was literally just Under the Red Hood but worse, I was glad for something a little different

I don't know how people can still fuck up the Joker, he is not a complex character.

>yes he is a psychopath, he is willing to shock and awe and do insanely cruel or violent shit to get what he wants, going so far as to design his own chemicals and poisons and hurt innocent people
>however this all involves a style of showmanship, and if the displays of cruelty are not distinctly humorous or somehow funny or stroking his ego he simply wont do it; he's not a serial killer
>he is also greedy; he doesn't just go out and kill hundreds of people, he'll try to rob the mafia or a shipping vessel or a bank because he wants money and it wouldnt surprise me if he has somewhat-legitimate investments (that he'll likely try to extort later)
>lastly he is a hypocrite, while he will mock and deride people he is also willing to break all of his own rules (momentarily) if he's desperate or angry enough, even close allies like Harley or his henchmen

Notice how all of the above is still an antithesis to Bruce without resorting to muh nihilism, muh serial killing.

>Bruce is tough but concise, Joker is a bully and draws out his shows of violence (and will kill)
>Bruce allows people to intimidate themselves in a sense before he shows himself and beats them up; Joker makes all of it a big show
>Bruce does everything without expecting payment or even thanks; Joker is a greedy cunt, ethically no better than a common mugger dindu
>Bruce has a strict code of honor and won't betray people, Joker is an opportunistic asshole who will do whatever he wants

People completely forgot why the Joker was originally seen as Batman's antithesis. It's a fucking joke.

I was let down when the game didn't acknowledge that I took Selina's magnet thing but left her the grappling gun.

>>94430137
I have no problems with Riddler being an established threat, but it's weird how there were no hints of him existing and no one mentioned him before.

Gotham having supervillains before Batman should be a bigger deal than how it's treated.
