The Joker's ha-hacienda

[The Joker]

This is an appreciation thread dedicated to the greatest Batman villain of them all, The Joker. He is certainly my favorite Batman villain, and like with my fav Spidey villain Doc Ock, I'd like to start a fan thread for The Joker.

Discuss all things that is Joker. From the comics, to the cartoons, to the movies.

I'd like to kick off a topic which I'm sure is on alot of Joker fans minds, and that is Heath Ledger's casting as the Joker. How does everyone feel about that??

Personally, I think he can do it. Physically he's good for the Joker. So that's half the battle. As an actor, from what I've seen of him he is good. nd I know he must of done a hell of a good screen test for Nolan to hire him.

[Batnam]

Great idea! I think Heath will be fantastic as long as they nail his look. I can't talk crap because Nolan and Bale are saying how great Heath will be. I belive in Nolan.

[The Joker]

At last, someone shows an interest. I was beginning to think Mr J had no fans around here!

I too have faith in Nolan. He's been the most faithful to the comics than any other comic book movie director. And I like that. He respects the source.

Ok, favorite Joker moments in the comics. A few of mine would be:

-When Scarecrow sprayed him with fear gas in the Knightfall saga. And it had NO effect on him. He just laughed it off. The Joker fears NOTHING!!

-When he beat Jason Todd with a crow bar, and then said afterwards while his hands were dripping in blood "My, but that was fun. Kind of messy though" It's that kind of sick humour that I love about him.

-In the Long Halloween, on New Year's eve when he steals a plane and plans to kill everyone with some lethal gas, so he can kill the Holiday killer, he and Batman are fighting on the plane and Joker says "One question. At midnight do I get a kiss??" :joker:

[Keyser Soze]

Hey! I was just about to make a thread like this!:up:

When talking about my favourite Joker moments, I can't fail to mention "The Killing Joke". I'd say it's the best comic book ever written.

And here's another awesome pic of The Joker, from "The Man Who Laughs":

[Batnam]

I loved the joker in "Arkham Asylum". Not only was the art done well, his character was incredible. The first time I saw him in it I almost craped in my pants. That part in "Long Halloween" was great too, Doc Ock. But I also like all of Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb's Batman comics. It seems some of the darker comics such as "The Killing Joke" and "Arkham Asylum" is when the Joker is at his best.

[The Joker]

Hey, welcome Keyser. I was hoping you'd see this thread ;)

When talking about my favourite Joker moments, I can't fail to mention "The Killing Joke". I'd say it's the best comic book ever written.

Defo :up:

The art compliments the dark and gritty story. I think this was a turning point for Joker too. Its where he was shown what he's really capable of. Prior to the Killing joke he was the psychotic madman who terrorized Gotham with his sadistic pranks and crazy schemes. Which was fine. But with this story, he finally stepped over the line and hit Batman where it hurt. He attacked a friend.

And here's another awesome pic of The Joker, from "The Man Who Laughs":

Great story. Very faithful to Joker's original story in Batman #1. My only gripe is that Joker wasn't in it as much as I would have liked.

[OtepApe]

Hey Ock, too be honest I thought you would have started a thread like this a long time ago.

I never read the Last laugh. Is it any good??

[Bathead]

What do y'all think of the proposals that some fans have stated they would like to see in TDk, such as -
No bright colors, pale albino like skin, not chalk white. Dark green hair, almost black. Carved smile, carves smiles on his victims, is basally just a serial killer, Doesn't act "zany", etc., all supposedly to fit In Nolan's "realistic" bat-world
Myself, I think they don't get the Joker. As a matter of fact, Nolan probably gets it more than they do. I mean he's Hired Jerry robinson as advisor. and I put forth that there's no-one more qualified as an expert on the Joker than him.

Then those people do not want to see the Joker on screen. No bright colours, carves the smile on his victims, doesn't act crazy and zany??

That would be JINO.

I was very happy to hear he hired Jerry. Nolan seems to respect the comic books. So he should make the Joker exactly what he should be. There is no middle ground with a character like Joker.

Either you do him right or you don't.

[Keyser Soze]

Nolan also said in an interview that his two main influences on this interpretation of The Joker will be "The Killing Joke", and The Joker's first appearance back in 1941. So that means we'll be getting the Joker we know and love. And as for the whole thing about the white skin and green hair, why is everybody agonising over the logistics? Why worry about whether its make-up, or he's albino, or if he fell in a vat of chemicals. I think it would be cool if it's never explained. He's just The Joker, and that's the way he is. Draw your own conclusions.

And here's a couple of cool manips of Heath Ledger as The Joker:

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b5/cask8er87/heath2.jpg

[The Joker]

The Joker wasn't very zany in his first appearance. I think Nolan might be taking his lust for killing his victims with style from that one. And hopefully taking the Joker's witty, zany insanity from the Killing Joke. Its one of Joker's most psychologically powerful stories.

As for the manips, I like the 2nd one the best. His hair is not green enough in the 1st one, nor are his lips red enough. Not to mention no purple suit.

[Charlie No-One]

I, as of recently, just got interested in the Joker. Can't wait for the movie.

[Keyser Soze]

You just got interested in The Joker, eh? Well, if you haven't already, check out "The Killing Joke". That will get you A LOT more interested. :joker:

[OtepApe]

I think they have been attempted before, but not lasted very long. let's see if we can make this one just a little different. They obviously didn't have the right people before.

Sweet :up:

I never read the Last laugh. Is it any good??

Ashamed to say I have not read it either.

As far as Joker in TDK, I don't want to see an origin for him. I want it to be left up to our own devices to draw a conclusion of where this man came from. With Nolan saying he's drawing from The Killing Joke aswell, then it leads me to believe we may some kind of origin story for him.

Plus, who thinks he's going to go the Babs Gordon route and paralyse Rachel Dawes?

[The Joker]

I think they have been attempted before, but not lasted very long. let's see if we can make this one just a little different. They obviously didn't have the right people before.

I'll make it work. Like the Joker, this thread shall not die :joker: :hq:

Plus, who thinks he's going to go the Babs Gordon route and paralyse Rachel Dawes?

Ugh, I hope he doesn't do that. It wouldn't have the same impact as Barbara's crippling did. Joker trying to prove a point with Barbara and her dad. There's no reason to cripple Rachel. Anyway, I don't think the fans care for Rachel nearly as much as they do for Barbara, who has two things going for her:

1. She's Gordon's daughter
2. She used to be Batgirl

So she's special to both Gordon and Batman. Its a double whammy. No, presonally I hope Joker just kills Rachel in his usual theatrical and nasty style.

I don't know, I don't think she's going to be just there as fodder for Mr J. I think something will happen to her but it may be killing or it may be the paralysing. To be honest, Nolan strikes me as someone who has originality to him. So it could be something totally different.

I think she may strike up a relationship with Harvey, so then whatever Joker does to her, it will piss both Dent and Bats off.

Although, with Joker doing something to her, I hope it's sick, twisted and downright evil.:joker:

[The Joker]

I don't know, I don't think she's going to be just there as fodder for Mr J.

Oh I'm not saying she will be. I'm sure she'll have a purpose in the story. She knows Batman's identity now too. So that'll be interesting.

As long as she dies, I'll be happy. Joker has to kill someone significant in this movie IMO.

Sick, twisted, and evil is all he knows ;)

Just let her try and use her little stun gun on the Joker, she'll regret it :mad:

[Mister J]

This is a great idea, Ock. :up:

Allow me to cast my vote with the lot who feels The Joker should kill Rachel. The intense dynamic between Batman and The Joker needs to be firmly established. In the comics, it goes beyond just 'good v. evil', primarily because of the personal havoc that Mr. J has wreaked upon Batman. No better way to transfer that relationship on screen than having our dear Clown Prince of Crime murder someone who speaks to both Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Exactly.

There should be no crippling, only death. Joker has to kill a significant character, and a character who really wont be terribly missed. Rachel fits the bill nicely. Plus it makes it seem nastier that he murders a defenseless woman, who was Batman's childhood friend.

How would you guys like her to die?? Joker just shoot her?? Poison her with his smilex?? Lethal handshake??

[Charlie No-One]

I always thought it would be cool if the Joker used one of Batman's tools, like the batgrapple, changed it so it would be more like a "Joker-Grapple" and shoot it through someone. Not saying I want that to happen with Rachel, but to somebody.

[Mister J]

I'd like for him to shoot her, but with some style; maybe even a slight resemblence to the scene from The Killing Joke. Someone had an idea awhile back about making the shooting a bigger spectacle. I'm babbling on the rest.

Instead of shooting Rachel when she opens the door, The Joker forces his way inside with a gun drawn on her. Joker goes on a dramtic rant about how she's limiting his fun and how he plans to turn all of Gotham into his stage. After Rachel noticeably feels she's about to die, Joker pulls the trigger only to have the gun seemingly revealed to be a toy equipped with one of those 'BANG' flags. Joker says "Gotcha" starts to laugh maniacally. Rachel looks upon this crazy clown with much confusion and some relief when suddenly Joker pulls the trigger again and the gun impales Rachel with the flag. She falls to the floor and Joker says "Gotcha again" and continues to alternate firing shots and saying "...and again ...and again". The camera is focused on Joker's nearly orgasmic face while he laughs hysterically, then flashes to Rachel's near-lifeless face and then pans out behinds Joker as he reaches into his pocket for something. The camera continues to back out through the still-opened door while the laughter continues.

Upon forwarding to the crime investigation scene, it would be discovered that Rachel was dosed with Joker venom before she finally died, contorting her discolored face into a grotesque smile. A blood-stained Joker playing card would also be left behind.

...or something like that, PG-13 of course. :joker:

That would actually transcend into a damn good scene. I love that idea.

Do we think Joker might kill her in public. To kill someone like that, I would've thought he would want to make it public. For as many people as possible to view it.

[CASk8er87]

haha awesome first time being in this thread...and my own manip beat me here...haha thats crazy. Im glad to hear you all like my manip. In fact..ill post another of my joker manips for fun :up:

[Batnam]

Great manip. ^
I think the Joker will be a lot like his first apperance in the comics. He tells everyone what he is going to do, then slips past them. Does anyone think that Nolan will make the Joker a phycical threat to Batman? Such as in hand to hand combat?

[The Joker]

Woooooo! I got myself an awesome Joker statue today. He's holding a bomb up in the air in his right hand, and holding a gun in his left. And he has the greatest manical smile on his face.

I took a thin strand of cotton wool and stuck it on the fuse of the the bomb, so it looks like he lit it. I'll take a pic of him later.

Does anyone think that Nolan will make the Joker a phycical threat to Batman? Such as in hand to hand combat?

If he wants to stay loyal to the comics then Joker will not be a physical threat. Batman always whups his ass. Joker relies on his nasty toys if Batman gets too close for comfort.

[Batnam]

What kind of toys do you think he will use?

I just picked up the Joker from Hush. Great toy.

[titan101]

What kind of toys do you think he will use?

I just picked up the Joker from Hush. Great toy. classic joker venom , electric joy buzzer, jack - in - the - box containing joker venom , etc....

[OtepApe]

I want to see the razor edged playing cards, although we probably won't see them. But pretty much what titan 101 said.

[Two-Face]

we also can't forget the good ol' gun - with - BANG -flag /dart!!!!!:joker:

[OtepApe]

we also can't forget the good ol' gun - with - BANG -flag /dart!!!!!:joker:

Of course, how could I forget that. It'd work perfectly in the scene described by Mister J.

[The Joker]

I would love to see Joker use all his nasty toys at some point in the movie. The bang/dart gun would be great to use on some henchman who didn't laugh when he was supposed to.

Joker just hates that. Nolan has a plethora of great gimmicks to use with Mr J. Use as many as you can Chris. They're all gold.

Btw, would you guys be upset if Joker didn't have his classic purple suit in the movie??

[OtepApe]

Btw, would you guys be upset if Joker didn't have his classic purple suit in the movie??

Well, I would like to see it but as long as they got Mr J's facial appearence and hair right, I think I could live without seeing the purple suit.

[Charlie No-One]

I think the purple suit is needed at one point. Just as long as you see it for a little bit.

[The Joker]

Ever since he was created back in 1940, Joker's main and virtually only costume has been the purple suit. It would be criminal to leave it out IMO.


Looky at this. I really, really want this:

[Charlie No-One]

I hope Harley makes a cameo. She could just be his servant or something...she needs to be there.

[Lex Luthor]

I would be happy if Harley is at the very least, mentioned somewhere in The Dark Knight. A cameo would be better, yes. But I would settle for Harley just being alluded to.

Just give us something.

[titan101]

^^ that IS uber cool.it's cooler than cool.:joker:

[OtepApe]

I would prefer a Harleen Quinzel cameo. It doesn't have to be Harley, but I really think they could easily fit a Dr Quinzel cameo in there.

Hey Ock, who's the design by on that statue?

[The Joker]

Hey Ock, who's the design by on that statue?

I'm not sure. I got the pic off a japanese website: http://www.blister.jp/item4074.html

So if anyone here speaks japanese, maybe they'll let us know ;) I might have a look around ebay. It might be on there.

[Superman Prime]

I'd like to say that I think the Joker, as a villain/character in literature, has succeeded to be one of the most in-depth and believable characters in comic books. The reason I say this, is because the Joker could be interpreted as the madness each and every one of us feels sometimes.

Like when you've had a rough year, and instead of crying or being angry, you just want to start laughing hysterically. I think that is what the Joker represents: years of repressed anger/fear/anxiety, bursting out to overtake the world in darkness. He also reminds us that we have to keep our own behavior in check: and make the right choices, rather than the ones that -just- benefit us, or ones that are 'funny', but still hurtful.

There's a Joker/Harley Quinn in all of us; we just have to be reminded not to let it take over.

What a wonderfully insightful post :up:

I totally agree. Some of these comic book villains are very psychologically real. That's what can be so scary about them, because there is people with their kind of psychosis everywhere.

Btw, Ledger speaks a little bit about the Joker here, who he says is going to be darker and more sinister: http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=249461

Sounds good to me.

I also think this idea of "choices" is only one of the reasons Joker is such a perfect enemy for Batman. They both had that "One Bad Day", but the choices they each made on how to deal with it are polar opposites. Just like evrything else about them.

I think it's just one of his drawings, inspired by the Killing Joke and various other comics too I'd say.

[Cobblepot]

I'm looking forward to that issue, so far Dini's run is looking better then Morrison's. But that's just my opinion. I wish Bolland would do a new Joker mini...or Breyfogle.

[LEX]

I have been reading Joker-related Batman 1 shots as of late and I found them to be exceedingly good. The Killing Joke, The Man Who Laughs and Mad Love, to name a few. Speaking of, The Killing Joke is brilliant. At first, I didn't agree with other people about wanting Rachel Dawes to die in TDK, all for the wrong reasons, but now that I took time to think about it, how else are they going to start the bloody relationship between the Joker and Batman that will rage on for many decades to come, just like in the comics? By taking out those close to Batman. Frankly, I see no other way. Kill her off in a Joker-esque way and you would have a PO Batman on your hands, thus begins the neverending feud. I quite like Mister J's idea and I hope Nolan is smart enough not to give us an ignominious uninspired death. It's not that I don't have faith in Nolan, I do, but if the Joker doesn't have red lips, green hair, white skin or even the purple suit, I would be deeply disappointed. Purple, I could live without, but at least give him a hint of purple. One of the things I hated about Tim Burton's Joker is the frozen smile. I never liked that. And I hope to God Nolan doesn't make the same mistake. Harley should be saved for later. A cameo of Dr. Harleen Quinzel at Arkham Asylum is fine for me, but I want them to first plant the seeds of the beginning of the relationship between the Joker and Batman in TDK before introducing Harley. That is, of course, unless they kill off the character, just as they did with Burton's Joker.

One of the things I love most about the Joker is his flamboyant attitude. It's sick, twisted humour. He talks a lot. It is a MUST for TDK Joker. He needs to talk a lot. Something along line with TMWL Joker. I'd love it if the final showdown between Batman and the Joker in TDK is to be anything like in TMWL, if any.

That's precious! ;)

[Cobblepot]

But (silence)...

Boy you're really a piece of work.

Whhahahhha, and the expression on Joker's face. Priceless.
I've read TMWL but this is still funny.

[LEX]

The panel of POOOOM is actually comical when you look at it. The Joker is being overconfident and going on about "Just how do you think you're going to stop me?" Batman pushes the button with that knowingly smirk. The viaduct explodes. A long pause and the Joker says "What did you just do?" Just that pose of his and tone, despite it being on mere paper, hit it home. I couldn't take my eyes off it the first time I read it, let along stop laughing. And the last panel with the Joker's bitter face and the clever dialogue is classic.

[Cobblepot]

Yes I know, I was imagining the look on Joker's face and his twitching eyebrow...

It's the same storytelling they use in the movies, only here it's just...perfect.

[The Joker]

So im guessin Joker gets shot in the eye? Looks kinda bionic...

Holy crap, I just noticed that.

Well at least he still has an eye. I wonder if it is a mechanical false eye, because as you said it does look bionic.



http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2200/tmwlcb0.gif

I love this story. Great re-telling of Batman's first encounter with the Joker. The panels at the beginning with all the smiley faced corpses was eerie.

Batman: "I think whoever did this was just practicing on them"

[Cobblepot]

http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/Dec06/DTC_Cv826_solicit.jpg

Could that be an eye prostethic or just the artists rendition?
It could be bionic it could just aswell be his gazing look.
I'm not keen on al these covers, Batman's face looks deformed a few times. Take a look at that Poison Ivy cover, his mout looks weird.

[LEX]

I was just thinking, will they do the Joker's origin at all in TDK? He is undoubtedly going to be killing people after escaping from Arkham Asylum, but I'm worried that he won't be getting the chalk-white skin, red peeled-back lips and green hair in the usual Joker-esque way from falling into a vat of chemicals, from the looks of it, unless I missed something.

[The Joker]

Well look if you look at it, the eye is really wide [especially compared to his left one] and it has scars around it. Could very well be prostethic.

Well, since he was already established as the Joker at the end of BB, his origin could only be shown in flashback. And whatever it is Batman obviously cannot be involved.

[Bathead]

It's not a prosthetic eye, it's just reflected light from the car's instrument panel.

[Superman Prime]

Guys. I need to know your opinion on something.

Do you think the Joker's smile should be voluntary, or part of the accident? I know it is the latter.... but sometimes I have a problem with a guy getting dumped in chemicals and coming out:

* Green Hair
* Red Lips
* White Skin

* BIG SMILE


That's a little too convenient, I think.

[Kraven]

Holy #$%

http://dialbforblog.com/archives/256/bolland_Joker_sletch.gif

Yes, Mr. Bolland is definately one of the greatest Joker artists ever, IMO. And I think his smile should be voluntary.

[Superman Prime]

Guys:

I meant that I had no problems with the chemicals changing his skin, hair, and lip color.

It is the smile that bugs me. How would the chemicals give him a perpetual smile?


NOTE: I'm writing a Bat-fic, and I am re-doing the origins of the Joker.

Think of the vat of chemicals as a complex bleach. I mean, have you ever read the side-effects for certain prescription medicines or the dangerous effects of common house hold chemicals? They have different effects on different parts of the body. The specific chemical that the Joker fell into had different effects on the hair and face. It does sound too convenient, but this is why Joker views life as one big joke. Because he resembles a clown in such of a bizzare twist of events, it so uncomprehendable it's funny. Its like God has personally went out to make Joker's life a living joke.

anyhoo, about the smile. I see it as the chemicals drying out the mucus membrane in the lips and stretching it back. Believe me, this makes sense. I use those stridex pads for acne trouble and they have peroxide which can bleach your hair and dry out your skin. it specifically says to avoid your lips or other mucus membranes. Think of Joker's chemicals as going to the extreme and actually strecthing out the lips.

There is nothing in that scene with Gordon that DEFINITIVELY shows that he is already the Joker. Nothing about a guy that looks like a clown. All Gordon says is the the perp has a taste for the theatrical like Batman. That could apply to the Red Hood as easily as the Joker. (black tuxedo, bright red cape with a bright red eyeless hood). Also, from what I understand, a Joker card (sometimes the Ace of Spades) is a warning left behind by the mob at a hit as a warning to others.

It's complete overkill anyway. Don't worry about it.

Yes that nose bothers me too. He looks more like Penguin.

Nice. Bolland rocks. I hear he's doing another upcoming Joker story too. I think it's his origin in the 52 series.

I think you're reaching a bit there dude.

Too many coincidences. He's into armed robbery and murder, has a taste for the theatrical, and leaves a Joker card at the scene of his crimes, and yet he's not become the Joker yet??

Doesn't sound right to me at all.

[Cobblepot]

Can anyone confirm that Bolland is doing an issh of 52 about The Joker?

[Cobblepot]

I still hope that Nolan presents us with a Joker like this:

I think it's reaching to assume he's already become Joker on such flimsy "evidence".
Into armed robbery and murder?
So was Red Hood.
Has a taste for the theatrical?
So does Red Hood.
Leaves a Joker card at the crime scene?
As I said in my post, there is historical precedence for leaving a Joker card at the scene of a mob hit as a warning to others not to screw with the mob. Red Hood could be a member of the mob.
Even taking all three of those things into account together does not prove that he has been Jokerized yet. I have just shown that I could take that same evidence and "prove" that it was the Red Hood.
I'm not reaching at all.

[Bathead]

As far as the perma-smile goes, if you check out Joker's first appearance in Batman #1, you can see that a permanent smile was not a part of the character's original design. Although a permanent grin is actually medically possible, it's not all that necessary to the character. He just needs to grin ... A LOT.

[Cobblepot]

Hey guys check out my avatar (Thanks to Mr. Lex Luthor)!

Was the Joker's smile in The Killing Joke permanent? It didn't look like it.

But the Joker was only the Red Hood once. And he didn't kill anyone in that robbery.

True. But as I said above, if Nolan is following the comics as closely as he has been, then it wont be the Joker.

When did they leave a Joker card at the crime scenes??

Also I might believe that if Gordon had referred to him as "This gang" instead of "This guy". Suggesting Joker is a one man act.

Even taking all three of those things into account together does not prove that he has been Jokerized yet.

Nothing has been proven. But it's highly likely he is already the Joker.

How do we know Red Hood has only committed the one crime? The Red Hood story in the comics, pre-Killing Joke told of a number of crimes comitted by the Red Hood gang.
To clarify further, you've misread me. In my post where I stated that the mob leaves behind Joker cards at hits, I'm talking about real life, NOT THE MOVIE. My point is that he doesn't have to be the Joker to leave behind a Joker card, It's been done before by REAL-LIFE mobsters! It could be that the Red Hood is an independent crook who occasionally does hits for the mob, leaving behind Joker cards as a warning. Or not. That scenario is just as likely as the one that he is already the Joker, based on the same so-called evidence. But, as even you said, NOTHING IS PROVEN. Is He the Joker already? Possibly, yes. Highly likely? I don't think so.

[Superman Prime]

Is it alright if when I'm done, I post my Joker origins story within this thread?

Granted the story will not be very long. Maybe a thousand words at most. That is, until I get someone to do the art for me. And then I will expand on the story, dialogue, etc.

[Cobblepot]

In The Killing Joke, The Red Hood is another crook every other scheme. If I remember correct.

[Bathead]

In The Killing Joke, The Red Hood is another crook every other scheme. If I remember correct.
Maybe.
Remember there is nothing definite about Joker's memories in that story.
(Not sure if this quote is exact, but ...)
According to Joker himself --
"If I am to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice."

Well, mainly in this version, the Joker went completely insane LONG before actually becoming Batman's main foil.

It will borrow a certain unique fact (you can guess it, if you think hard enough,) that was exclusive to Burton's 89 Batman movie.

Don't want to give too much away, though. Still need that certain shock value. It will be finished in three days.

I wonder...

If they should include that in the movie. It would catch people off guard thinking that they once again "Killed" The Joker, only to find out, even after he stabbed himself, he is still alive.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v513/Rynan/Comics/jokerintro7.jpg
I can imagine them loading the apparently dead body of the Joker into the coroner's van, cut to the van's interior, closeup on his hand, which twitches, cut to the van pulling away, and as it disappears into the darkness, you hear maniacal laughter.
THE END

Something like that.

[Cobblepot]

Sounds great to me!

[Bathead]

Or --
Same scene basically, except the van pulls away into the darkness, fade to black
THE END
THEN cue Maniacal Laughter (tm), then roll credits. Which do you think is better?

[Cobblepot]

Your last option, it's more theatrical.

I'm really anxious to see the look of the Joker in TDK, meybe some of the manips came really close.

[The Joker]

Anyone have any fav Joker moments from the comics?? I know he has so many great ones, but what are your personal favs??

[Cobblepot]

I'm not sure there's so many.
I like the scene in The Man Who Laughs and his "origin" in The Killing Joke.
The Animated comics nailed him brilliantly aswell, almost in every book.
I also like Grant & Breyfogle's little Joker story in their Batman run.
I can't really pick one moment...

[Kraven]

I really liked his lines in TKJ as well as his scene with Batman at the end. Or in Hush, when he is being beaten down and says:
"Stop..... Stop.... Stop me... if you've heard this one before."

[The Joker]

Ok, a few of my favorites:

-Batman confronting Joker at the end of the Man who Laughs, and Joker is outraged that Batman had the nerve to ruin his scheme of killing the entire city.
-Shooting Barbara Gordon, and then comparing her to a library book.
-Batman trying to reason with Joker, and offer him help at the end of the Killing Joke.
-Bashing Jason Todd with a crowbar, then saying "My that was fun. Kinda messy though" :joker:
-Shooting Sarah Essen in the head at point blank range.

[Carmine Falcone]

Ok, a few of my favorites:
-Shooting Barbara Gordon, and then comparing her to a library book.


That is such an Alan Moore moment. Very good. :up:

[Superman Prime]

Writer's block resulted in me not being finished with my new Joker origin. I apologize... and in turn, I present you with these classic Joker moments from Batman89. Heath Ledger says he himself will be even more dark and sinister in his version of the Joker...

[The Joker]

Ledger has some big shoes to fill after Jack Nicholson's turn as Joker.

He freakin' rocked.

[Batman*]

Yeah Jack was great, though my personal favorite was Mark Hamill

And my favorite Heath Ledger manip

http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8044/21njgusrv5.jpg

And just to add, I hope in The Dark Knight The Joker's grin is voulentary, I once thought the premise of a man with a hideous grin permanantly formed in his lips was creepier.

But if you think about it more, the idea that a man can kill an inoccent woman, break into her husbands house disable his daughter, kidnap her father show him pictures of her body whilst trying to drive him insane, kidnap a woman beat her son halfway to death and then kill both him and his mother at the same time and then come out of all of it still voulentarily grinning and genuanly finding it all funny is a hell of a lot creepier that the permanant grin idea.

[Kraven]

Yea, I agree. I don't know if Heath can outdo Jack... he was my highlight for Batman 89.

[Bathead]

I don't know where, other than Burton's movie (or even from Conrad Veidt's movie), anyone got the idea that Joker's smile was permanent. Unless my memory fails me, I don't recall it ever being portrayed that way in the comics.

[Superman Prime]

http://tinyrevolution.com/mt-static/images/joker.jpg

That looks so absolutely creepy.

I'm curious myself:


Someone track down where the idea of a permanent smile originated, so we can see just how far it goes back, if very far at all.

[Cobblepot]

It's up to anyones imagination really.
Some artist depict him with a permanent smile (Jim Aparo did en Tim Sale does) and some don't (Brian Bolland, Neal Adams). But he is smiling constantly and even if he is pouting he's still grinning.

[ghost113]

that jack pic of the joker is so very creepy, NICE

Old age is going to treat the Joker terribly. Think how much he smiles... all the wrinkles that will create. Plus the furrowed brow he usually has.

[The Joker]

The Joker will never get old. He'll come back in a different body like he did in Batman Beyond :cwink:

or he'll die.

Oh and my contribution to the thread is below.

[Cobblepot]

Go watch that seen, you'll see...

[Kraven]

So I watched ROTJ the other day, and it was wickedly awesome. I haven't seen it for quite a while, and hopefully my new avy will be from that movie. End rant.

[The Joker]

ROTJ is wicked awesome.

I think my fav part is the flashback to the past, where we see what the Joker did to Robin. An especially eerie bit is when Batman and Batgirl are moving thru the wrecked halls of Arkham, and you hear Harley's voice echoing thru the halls singing 'Hush little baby don't say a word'.

Loved that bit :hq:

[Boom]

"What's the matter, Batman? No witty comeback? No threat? Then I'll provide the narration. I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind. Though he bravely tried to fight it at first. You would've been proud to see him so strong. But all too soon the serums and the shocks took their toll, and the dear lad began to share such secrets with me. Secrets that are mine alone to know, Bruce. It's true, Batsy. I know everything. And kinda like the kid who peaks at his Christmas presents, I must admit it's sadly anti-climactic. Behind all the stern and batarangs, you're just a little boy in a play-suit crying for mommy and daddy. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Ah what the heck I'll laugh anyway!"

[Carmine Falcone]

I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind.

That line seriously disturbs me. Maybe I should get the unrated version to.

Joker Jr. was creepy as hell. He was an infinately better way to attack Batman than the infamous "Jason Todd and a Crowbar" bit.

Instead of killing Robin, The Joker assimilated him.

The last couple of lines are the best. Pure Joker.

Joker Jr. was creepy as hell. He was an infinately better way to attack Batman than the infamous "Jason Todd and a Crowbar" bit.

"We couldn't adopt legally, then we remembered you always had a few spare kids hanging around. So we borrowed one. He needed a little moulding at first. What kid doesn't?? But soon, we came to love him as our own. Say hello J.J."

Instead of killing Robin, The Joker assimilated him.

Heh, you make him sound like the Borg :D

[Superman Prime]

There are things far worse than death. For instance, the Joker taking Robin, and instead of killing him, corrupting him.

Yep. :)

[Rynan]

There are things far worse than death. For instance, the Joker taking Robin, and instead of killing him, corrupting him.

Yep. :)

Robin was Batman's son. The Joker took Robin and made him into his son. Considering the emotional scarring for Tim, Bruce and Barbra, it was an outcome far, far worse than death.

And a lasting testiment to The Joker insane genius...

[Kraven]

That scene is my favorite also. The Joker was really badass in that movie, good twist at the end with Tim Drake too. You could tell Batman was ready to kill him that time, like when he threw the knife at his head and Joker ducked and rode off. The Joker in the flashback was my favorite looking Joker in all of the Batman Animated Series versions.

[Boom]

I agree. That should've been how The Joker looked throughout the New Batman Adventures series.

[Kraven]

Speaking of that scene, you can find it divided between these two parts:

[Kraven]

And what is this talk of delays?? I thought only 'All star Batman and Robin' was delayed.

Well ASB&R certainly is delayed to a much greater extent, but Batman usually comes out on the last week of the month (since #655). Batman #658 should've come out this week, but it's been pushed back to November 8th. Not nearly as bad as the "1 issue per year" delay ASB&R has had, but still makes me wonder how much the next issue will be delayed. Incidentally, 659 is the issue that I've been anticipating most in the Batman title so far.

[Kool-Aid]

Nice thread. Props Ock.

My Joker Costume
I was escaped convict Joker on Friday. Tomorrow I'll wear the whole purple getup. I needed a break because I did the Mark Hamill Joker voice and laugh for a while and lost my voice. I was in character for four hours, skipping around accosting people, especially those dressed as Batman characters. Hopefully the pictures below do my costume justice.

[Nepenthes]

Well, since he was already established as the Joker at the end of BB, his origin could only be shown in flashback. And whatever it is Batman obviously cannot be involved.

Not true. Nolan can still connect the Jokers origin to Batman *within the events of BB*...

Remember the scene where Batman attacks Crane and his henchman at the Asylum? He's throwing guys around like rag dolls....and the place is full of deadly chemicals.

You can also tie TKJ and the RedHood and angle into this. Kind of. The Joker was some schmuk forced into working for Crane at the Asylum, mixing chemicals and releasing them into the sewer. Can also explain how Joker became knowledgable in chemistry.

Are you trying to tell me that you'd like the Joker to be one of Scarecrow's former henchman??

Good god, NO! :down Nolan and his team could not be that uncreative with the Joker.

No, just no. In my opinion, that is a horrible origin for Joker. Scarecrow's lackey who Batman dunked into some chemicals??

Nolan's Batman is no killer right?? So he's not going to throw or toss anyone into some chemicals. In the comics, Joker fell in there himself when running from from Batman.

And if I remember correctly, there was no chemical vats in that scene in BB. All they were making there was Scarecrow's fear toxin, which was being dumped into the water supply.

Nolan said he was using The Killing Joke and Batman #1 as strong source material for Joker. So hopefully that means we're getting the proper Joker origin.

[Kraven]

Agreed, I don't want the Joker to be one of Scarecrow's henchmen. It just isn't right. Also, it appears that GM's Joker issue has been delayed. I thought it would be, but I didn't realize it would go all the way back to February. :( I'm guessing Andy Kubert is having trouble with the art, but I'm interested in seeing what this guest artist can do.

Damn. Well, Joker's also showing up in Detective next month, torturing the bird boy at Christmas. So, hopefully that'll be fun :joker:

[Kraven]

No, the next issue of Batman is going to be the start of a 4-part arc called Grotesk, by Tom Mandrake and John Ostrander. It was originally supposed to be after the Joker issue, but they bumped it up an issue and bumped the Joker one back four issues.

On the second note, yea, Paul Dini rocks. :up: BTAS was one of the best cartoons I've probably ever seen, and he really can write the Joker well. That issue should definately be excellent, I'll be buying it for sure.

Damn it. I was really looking forward to reading Morrison's Joker next month. They have it announced as the next issue in #658 and all :cmad:

Still, we have his appearance in Detective next month.

Isn't Morrison's story supposed to explain all that stuff we saw a while back, with Gordon being poisoned by Joker, the fake Batman he killed, the kids he kidnapped etc??

[Kraven]

Yeah, and Morrison has said he plans on bringing a new, scarier Joker back after being shot. I'm guessing his appearance in Detective is supposed to take place before he gets shot or something. It's also supposed to show the new & improved Batmobile too, I think, unless that was shown in #658 (I haven't read it yet). Honestly though... I'm not sure which one I'm anticipating more. Both stories look to be great.

Yeah, I have it. It's a great game. It only has a handful of villains though: Joker, Harley, Mr Freeze, and Poison Ivy. Being based on the animated series, I was hoping they'd go all out and include loads of villains.

All the voice cast are in it.

hi guys, this is my first ever post to these boards, i've just joined. i would have started a new thread actually but for some weird reason i can't do that, don't know why, kinda worried about it, maybe tech glitch, maybe problem with my account, dunno, anyway, just stopped by to say i've opened up a whole load of yahoo groups for comic book superheroes, and i'd really like as many of you who have ever joined a yahoo group to come along and check them out. as is, there's nothing on them yet, i've just set them up, cept of course my co-owner of my superman and batman groups has posted about 200 pics of his own in the pics sections, but part from that, nothing, and, last time i checked, my hulk group has only one member part from me, so it'd be great if you could come check em out and join em if you feel so inclined,

You can't make a thread until you have a certain amount of posts, I think. You should go to the FAQ thread in the Technical Support section, or email a mod if you have questions.

[The Joker]

There's also a pretty good one of him with a Santa hat and everything, from this very comic, but I couldn't find it.

Well, here's the action figure of him wearing it:

Great figure. Love that scene, where he had the family tied up with Xmas lights, and stole their tree and all their presents :joker:

[Kraven]

Yeah, great scene. I also liked it went he tussled it up a bit with Dent. The Long Halloween is easily one of the best Batman stories out there.

This one has to be my favorite and then the one of him in the san ta chair.

[The Joker]

Does anyone buy this theorey that in the 616 comics, the Joker knows Batman is Bruce Wayne??

[Kraven]

I don't think he does myself, but if you could show me an incident where he might have somehow deduced it (not sure how he would) then I might buy it.

[The Joker]

HO HO HO Joker fans, be sure to get the latest issue of Detective comics. Joker has himself a rollickin' good time this christmas, with poor Robin as his reluctant audience.

Seriously, the things he does in issue #826 are viciously evil. Couldn't love that clown more if I tried :joker: :cwink:

[Kool-Aid]

It was hilarious.
