Step Aside Joker, DC Comics Have A New Top Villain
For years Joker has reigned as the supreme villain, not on in DC Comics, but all of American comics. BUt his time has passed, DC Comics have a new top villain more diabolical than Joker. At least, if you believe a recent article from Screenrant.com. Screenrant are anointing The Wall herself, Amanda Waller, as the new top bad guy in the DC Comics universe. Wes has some fun reading an insane article from Screenrant proclaiming a new go-to bad guy for DC. Step aside Joker, DC Comics have a new top villain.

    Dr. Doom is the quintessential super villain. The reason why he is held in such regard is because of his limited appearances. He isn’t constantly thrown in the face of readers or diluted by over saturation (like a guy named Logan). When Doom appears, and is handled by a competent writer, it’s significant and the chances of it being world breaking are high. You will get at least ONE memorable moment or a based quote. Joker…kills people and laughs. Wonderful.🙄. But he is better than the lady that works at the DMV.

    It is much worse than a butteface. She looks more like a ugly dude. All of the women though, with exception of Dumb Bunny, she looks most feminine of the women. Either Punchline >>>>>>>>>> modern Harley Quinn (although in this comic it is more Harvey Qinn). Apparently Punchline said a slur that Harley complained aboot it. I wonder what was actually said. I have read the comic, in fact a few hours ago. But didn't pay for it.

    Waller is, or was, certainly a compelling minor, reoccurring antagonist, but she's not a major villain. Certainly not deserving of the spotlight in a superhero story. And when you put the spotlight on her it just exposes the fact that she's just an obese goverment stooge with the same motivation as a dozen other supervillains.

    Maybe if they make up some lies exaggerations and then stuff a jury full of woke propagandists --- they can teach him, and us all a lesson. The lesson ..... which is to listen to their authority ...even when authority breaks all and any rules by lying...exaggerating...stalking and ultimately being the exact thing they claim to be fighting... When in reality they are just power mad tyrants who use lies to excuse their own poor taste and lack of ethics in the name of being a saviour and your Queen to bow down before.

    Saying Doom is a bigger villain than the Joker is just silly, if you ask normal people in the street they’ll have absolutely no idea who Doom is, but every single one of these people will know the Joker. The Joker is the biggest & best villain in comics, by far, he’s not the best villain in all of media, that’s Bondrewd from Made in Abyss, that guy is just terrifying, close behind him is Griffith from Berserk.
