    Joker was my favorite villain for a while, but nowadays I find myself feeling kinda frustrated cause deadass all of the characters who have had the chance to kill Joker never do.
    A number of characters have had numerous chances to dispose of him, but they never do.
    It’s always some BS about those characters not wanting to dive into the darkness or something, but honestly that’s REALLY, REALLY over-played.
    Joker is used so much nowadays in so many different storylines that I feel like it’d behoove DC comics to kill him off for a couple of YEARS, then bring him back.
    Plot armor has kept Joker alive so many times that Joker doesn’t feel like a good villain anymore, purely due to the writers making him damn near invincible.

    After all the death and trauma the Joker has given Jim Gordon, I can't accept that he wouldn't kill Joker if he had the chance. Paralyzing his daughter is enough but think about all the other dead people Gordan has personally processed from Joker. Gordan pulls that trigger even if dies.

  • @cadeshanley218
    @cadeshanley218 Před 2 lety +1

    This is why The Joker is my all time favorite Batman and DC villain. Just terrifying and iconic and hilarious in the dark kind of way. Thanks to actors like Mark Hamill, Kevin Michael Richardson, John DiMaggio, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Joaquin Phoenix voicing him and portraying him in live action. Especially the evil laughter. I'll always read Joker bubbles with Mark Hamill's voice in my head first and foremost. The Joker is even more or as well known as The Devil himself.

  • @Curse_of_the_moon
    @Curse_of_the_moon Před 2 lety +19

    I dunno about this.
    To me the most important moment in the killing joke is when Jim barks at Batman to bring the joker in ‘by the book’
    If Jim kills joker, that’s a serious reversal of character. Granted the series is ongoing so that may never happen. I. Suppose that’s why you wait until the story concludes

    • @stefanfilipovits21
      @stefanfilipovits21 Před 2 lety +1

      I don’t think he’ll really kill the joker. I think he’ll investigate, find out joker didn’t bomb Arkham, and refuse to kill him. He might bring him in, but I don’t see Gordon murdering him.

      You gotta realize that in this series he's basically debating with himself as to if by the book is the right way or not thats the whole rant he went on about justice not being real, he may be changing as people do. Personally I wouldn't mind if he did kill joker but also wouldn't mind if he didn't i would like to see him go mad though especially after the 3 jokers story

Like instead of giving him some harsh words like “you’re gonna die going after the Joker” or telling him he’s useless she instead reminds him that he’s good and that the mess he’s in isn’t good for him. Cause she’s right, Jim is gonna be messed up at the end since he’s entangled with not only the Joker but the court of owls as well. I think that whole moment was the perfect final warning for him.

    Why does the joker have two different eye colors?

    I love DC writings better the marvel just because they go more into details.

    Of course joker wouldn't be dead even if they got a chance to kill him. Dude can just manipulate and make someone rationalise his thinking.

    Why does the Court_of_Owls want to hire Gordon to kill the Joker instead of sending someone like Talon and why would they want to kill the Clown_Prince? What would happen if the Joker took over the organization?

      I’m just guessing (cuz I was wondering that too. God knows they have the resources) but I think it boils down to 2 reasons.
      1.) motivation: Jim Gordon has probably more motivation than anyone to want to either see the joker dead or actively kill him himself. There’s the Killing Joke thing but also Gordon has been witnessing Joker’s atrocities for YEARS. He’s seen almost every horrible thing he’s done. If anyone has a motivation (at least to the COO. Outside looking in.) to finally end him it’s Gordon.
      2.) He’s capable. He’s the most competent cop and detective in Gotham. He’s trained, intelligent, resourceful. He’s also a damn good detective. Not Batman good but still very good. He’d be able to follow joker and figure out what he’s up to. Add to that the unlimited resources of the court and yeah…I could kinda see why they’d send Gordon. And they’re smart enough to know that Gordon has VERY powerful friends backing him up already.

      As to what would happen if joker took over the court? I think he’d take whatever valuable intelligence or resources they have and then just kill them all. I don’t think he has any interest in being the leader of a secret society of wealthy gothamites.
