/thread

>Posting fucking sideshow hot toy
JFC OP, I see their overpriced shit enough on /toy/ don't fucking spread this shit to other boards

First pic i saw that made it clear it was
Arkham Joker

Because he's the Joker, other Jokers are just riffs

DCAU Joker wasn't one-dimensional, he was just poorly used by Justice League and a little all over the place when Dini wrote him in the red sky season.

1. Mark Fucking Hammil
2. Actually tells jokes, is amusing
3. Only one to have a hot girlfriend
4. Does more than want to murder everybody or shill some philosophical faggotry; cares about criminal enterprise and getting rich
5. Zoot suit

I wouldn't say "he hasn't been topped," but I still think Arkham Joker is pretty good.

Mostly because instead of being this Villain Sue who can anticipate everything, they let him actually be somewhat vulnerable and human.

Not in a sympathetic way. He's still an evil psychopath.

But, I mean, most modern Joker stories have him as borderline omniscient, so "craaazy" that you can never faze or rustle him, so nihilistic that he doesn't even care if he lives or dies. They've leaned so much into the "lol he's chaos incarnate" thing that he barely feels like a character.

In the Arkham games, we see him as somebody who is afraid of his imminent mortality, desperately trying to avoid it, and who gets so frantic about it that he starts acting even more erratically, sabotaging himself.

Instead of being the all-knowing villain playing all the rest of the villains, he's just as much in the dark about "Protocol 10" and all that as Batman is. Most comic-book writers today would have written the story so that The Joker was somehow playing Strange and Ra's and knew all their plans and was the real mastermind manupulating the other masterminds. The game, thank god, doesn't do this.

Even small little details, like how when you check the audio logs, you see that The Joker, growing increasingly scared, has left Batman all these voicemails asking him to call him back.

The last game wasn't very good, but the Joker was more interesting than the cardboard Arkham Knight and Scarecrow. And showing his fear of not being remembered as Gotham's greatest fiend and simply being forgotten was interesting.

Because he was responsible for all the Batmetals :

Only Origins Joker was good.

>this garbage
>good
Arkhamshit was a mistake.

Based. Though i did really like Scarecrow in both games

But he stole the spotlight from Black Mask

>REEEEEE NOT MUH COMICS

And all three of his fans were heartbroken, I'm sure. But the Arkham series is ABOUT Batman and the Joker so tough titty.

>This is a bad thing.
Literally the only thing cool about Black Mask is his new skull mask design with a white suit.

He was too gay in Arkham Knight. A lot of writers these days don't get the difference between using gay panic as a way to psych someone out and actual flirting. Otherwise yeah, he's my favorite version.

Yeah good post. Jokers always been Batmans main villain but I hate the recent trend of giving him world ending plans like Ra's has. Hes more fun as a lower tier threat.

He's an, and I'm using this word correctly, edgier version of the animated Joker without going overboard and keeping the same basic spirit. Same energy as a grumpy Romero but played straight(er)

Origins>City>Knight=Asylum

The Joker isn't Batman biggest threat, but he is his most persistent, which is why he's Batman's archenemy. He's always trying to prove his superiority to Batman.

I think this is best demonstrated with the BTAB episode "Emperor Joker". The Joker gets godlike powers, absolute control over all of reality, and he just wastes it killing Batman over and over again.

It sums up the Joker pretty well.
