Iran could literally employ the Joker and they still wouldn’t be as comic book evil as Bibi and Trump.
The Joker actually got angry and turned on the red skull because he said he may be evil but he’s not siding with a Nazi, so yeah, checks out
you can’t just drop a tvtropes link like that, people have weekend plans.
Me coming back like Robin Williams in Jumanji “WHAT YEAR IS IT!”
he was actually endorsed by the supreme leader himself
is the ayatollah french or is the joker french?
he stayed in france for a while
the joker?
Ruhollah Al- Khomeini
I love this dialogue.
JFC that’s gross. Turning an entire nation into literal comic book villains.
the Libyans were villains in back to the future
They were the heroes who sold Sox Brown the Plutonium so he could invent time travel. Doc Brown ripped them off.
Well they gave it to him to make a bomb out of it. IDK if they were supposed to be related to the government or an anti-government militia group though.
I think they just say ‘The Libyans’ and font give more detail. Its been a while since ive seen it tho. If they were selling plutonium to an American, id have to imagine they were anti-government. The cia probably ordered them to kill Doc Brown when they found out it was for a time machine and not weapons.
Reel Bad Arabs was an eye-opening doc. I never even thought twice about that scene before they rubbed my nose in it.
I used to have a joke about how Hollywood had Italians playing Indians (Natives) and later Indians (from India) playing Arabs. The solution? We all just keep shifting over one seat westward. The Natives get to play the actual Indians from India, the Arabs get to play Italians and Romans, everyone has a part.
It was the 80s
Keep in mind this happened immediately after he beat a 12 year old Jason Todd with a crowbar and then blew him up with a bomb
And that’s why I read comics
Yep the first time I read death in the family, which is hyped as this super serious emotional batman story, I got to this part and couldn’t stop laughing
Oh yeah, it’s a hell of a swerve
And this is coming from someone who voted for Jason to die
Do we have a nom Chomsky emoji that stands in for being old? Cause I thought I was one of the more elderly users before now
It was one of the first times I used the phone, so I must have been like 4?
I remember calling the line and it being like “Your vote for Jason Todd to die has been counted, we hope you can live with this decision… because he won’t!”
we hope you can live with this decision… because he won’t!"
Did you demand your money back post Lazarus pit?
I should have!
You were holding life and death in your hands at age 4? That must have felt cool. Also I did a quick look for thst recording from the line cause I really wanna sample it
My parents were kind of lax when it came to supervising my media intake
My favorite movie as a kid was RoboCop
Wore down the bootleg VHS my dad bought from a guy who sold them in the parking lot of the factory he worked at
Mine weren’t lax, but they were more making sure what I watched wasnt mindless pablum more than anything else. I got a big book about special effects from the library over and over and even tried some stuff from Evil Dead before seeing it. So I wanted to see the movies themselves and it was really lucky they rented evil dead 2 instead. My dad who eas raised on Looney Tooms and stuff loved it. I for sure saw both Robocop and Alien before I was in school.

I meant to write non Chomsky instead of what could seem like his name. I dont wanna use thar cause Epstein
these two kinda work
12? Damn, Batman really should not be sending him to fight adult criminals, at least let Robin have a gun, I dont care how trained, a 12 year old isnt going to be a phyacial match for someone who has hit puberty. I figured homie was 15 at the minimum. Not only is that horribly cruel to Robin, but it means he wouldnt really be useful either. Ever been punched by a twelve year old as an adult? I have cause I lived in a bad neighborhood and a child tried to mug me once. I didn’t really do much, he kinda left after he couldnt do any damage, he pulled out what looked like a pairing knife and tried to see if that would get him anywhere and after that gave up. 12 year olds are super weak
Keep in mind it’s capeshit, martial arts are super powers and the Robins get trained well. They’re more than capable of going toe to toe with most of what Batman deals with, Joker’s just on another level.
Also worth noting that “I should’ve had a gun” is certainly a lesson he took to heart when he was resurrected lmao
I still find him annoying as the Red Hood, but what are you gonna do?
What if Red Hood was a guy who spread communism and made his 'hood red?
It’s still a better communist superhero than most of the other ones the big two have come up with
KGBeast?
Never portrayed as anything but an unrepentant villain
Check out my sick Superman movie trilogy outline in the mega. If you know somwone with several billion for funding i can get to work. Or contact DC for a comic version, it’ll be cheaper. The only superhero comic ive ever read much of is Superman, that dude is cool af.
Will do!
was that movie really bad, where superman is stalin’s son? i always meant to watch it because people told me it was good
The comic is much better
The movie does a lot of anti-communist stuff that wasn’t in the comic and doesn’t add anything to the story
Oh, in that case it’s totally cool good and fine that Batman turned this child into an accomplice for his vigilantism. And how is the joker on another level? He beats Robin up with a crowbar, so the martial arts cant be doing that well.
… I don’t even read the comics but it’s pretty clear that the reason the joker can beat him up with a crowbar is because the joker is “on another level” and the other villains they fight cannot, in fact, beat him up with a crowbar. It’s a superhero comic, they’re unrealistic and goofy. That’s why I don’t read them.
Then leave my silly questions alone
And how is the joker on another level? He beats Robin up with a crowbar, so the martial arts cant be doing that well.
Joker is a better martial artist, therefore martial arts are worthless and also Joker can’t be unusual? what?
I have learned from various Kung fu movies that once you master whatever technique you study, whether normal martial arts or crowbar you suddenly do become capable of inhuman things
Well maybe he shouldn’t have been aiding the capitalist menace Batman!
Perhaps
But it also gets really racist in that way that only 80’s comic books could get
He uses his
fartlaughing gas at the UN and superman sucks all of that.
So glad comics back in the day weren’t political
No wonder Iran was talking about killing spiderman or whatever
Ummmmm actually! Spider-Man is Marvel an The Joker is DC, those are totally different canons!
For supposedly being a Chaos Guy, The Joker seems to be really amazing at plans and has lots of contacts
I mean, I guess you could are his PLANS are meant to CAUSE chaos, so it’s still CHAOTIC, maybe?
Like if I have a PLAN to destabilize a country, that’s still DESTABILIZING.
the way you have composed this comment reminds me of homer simpson describing the movie Speed.
His plans are usually pretty bad usually, despite them always working. He may just be aware he’s super lucky. That Juggalo bank robbery from dark knight had so many points of failure and everything just kinda happened to go perfectly
He’s DA JOKAH! He has contingencies upon contingencies for all his plans.
Theres a really fun comic where The Joker goes to Metropolis and deals with Superman and Superman does NOT give him the same satisfaction batman does and then Superman brings him back to Gotham and tells batman if he lets any of his weirdos into his town again he will just kill them
I kinda want to read that now.
Superman should have a talk with Batman: “Hey I think you’re super dramatic style of Super-Hero-ing is attracting a particular kind of villain who’s into this theatrics shit.”
Looked it up, its Adventures of Superman #41. It’s really good read. I dont read many comics but I like me some Superman. I wrote out my 3 movie outline for the guy in the mega cause of this thread.
I’m sure the full issue is easy to find. Its a quickie
You reminded me of Dark Multiverse Lois Lane who also just lasers him to death. I don’t really read comics but I like the ones that go “all your hero gimmicks are stupid”.
Next time someone posts an edgy joker meme I’m posting this in response.
sigh
The level of propaganda that’s out there is just cartoonishly bad (in this case literally)
critical support to The Joker
