What's the big deal about Joker anyways? If I was given the choice between Joker and some other crappy Bat-Rogue, I'd go with the rogue, since they'd either have powers or can at least fight Batman. IMHO.

I don't maybe because he's just pure awesomeness?

Seriously, you try and pick another character that blows up orphanages just for the fun of it, who killed Jason Todd a 15 year old boy just to get to Batman, crippled Barbra Gordon and raped her and took photos JUST to torture her Dad, was willing to kill dozens of babies in Gotham during No Man's Land. The fact he is so utterly insane and just doesn't give a **** about human life and laughs at death.

Why be a 2 dimensional villain with superpowers? When you can be possibly the weakest super villain in comics but because he's just so evil and fun to play as, you can do what you want with him, he has no set personality, no past, nothing, just some cold hearted mother ****er who laughs at death.

Tell me now, who's better Joker or Clay face?

He never raped her. He undressed her in front of her father and took pictures.

I think somewhere along the line, the point of any and all Batman storylines and dynamics passed over your head.

Yea. Batman may be Bat-God outside his title, but inside his title he is not so elite.
 
Just to weigh in on the argument going on here, I can see both side's of the argument.

On one hand, I can sympathise with Harlekin. I generally try and avoid the Applications threads now, because whenever I see an application that sparks my interest, I'll be reading the opening post that describes it, and get loads of ideas, really see the potential in what I could do with a character. Then I'll read the replies, and its like "DIBS!", "DIBS!", DIBS!" on the character I wanted, and my back-up character, and anyone else I'd be interested in playing as. And then I think "Oh well, so much for joining this RPG..." Someone said its unfair relying on who gets their OOC application up first, because time-zones might be against them. But aren't time-zones just as against someone wanting to get a reserve in?

But on the other hand, I can sympathise with Eddie Brock Jr. He's stepped in early, the first reply I think, and reserved The Joker. And while Harl doesn't agree with the CONCEPT of reserving, by the guidelines set out in MB's opening post (Byrd Man made a reservation) Eddie Brock Jr was doing no wrong in reserving The Joker. He's made it clear he's excited about playing the character, and it would be kinda sucky for him if - after being with this new RPG idea from the start - some Johnny-Come-Lately came in and popped up a pre-wrtten Joker app first, and swiped it out from under him. I mean, I had ideas for a Joker in this RPG, but when I saw EBJ reserve him, I thought "Okay, he got there first," just like someone beating me to an app would have "got there first".

And like others have suggested, I think the best compromise is, if more than one person wants to play a character, they can both apply, and the best post wins. That way, nobody's "cheated". Everyone who wants a CHANCE to show their worth as the character gets it. And therefore the person who gets to play as them is the one who's done most to earn it, rather than whoever hits REPLY the fastest.

[BLACKOUT]And I might just try applying for Batman, Byrd. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! :cwink: [/BLACKOUT]

You read my thread? Because that is basically one of the failsafes I suggested with minor changes.
 
:o.

When's this going to be approved? I thought it'd garnered more than enough attention and support already.

I've had The Joker fight Batman in the DC RPG before. And win too. Batman may be the better fighter, but The Joker cheats. :hoboj:

Leave this thread and everything that involves Batman.....now.
 
Hmm..

A...


*taps on mic*


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......................





PROVED!
 
Thread'll be up this time tommorow, guys.
 
Do you swear?

'cause I'm sitting on my 'enter' button to get the oh, so popular Dinah Lance before someone else does!

Although I am very tempted to try for Batman to spite you ALL! :twisted:

*facepalm*

And let's take a look at some of Batman's most popular villains:

Joker - no powers, uses trick weapons
Two-Face - no powers, uses guns and regular weapons
Riddler - no powers, uses riddles and traps
Scarecrow - no powers, uses Fear Gas
Mr. Freeze - no powers persay, uses ice-centric weapons
Catwoman - no powers, highly trained acrobatic moves

So I really don't see your logic. A MAJORITY of Batman's villains don't have powers.
