The Dark Knight How good a fighter should the Joker be?

[hannya]

I saw a fight at school once when I was a nipper, between a big hulking kid and a little scrawny skinny guy. We all stood around watching, thinking, "Uh-oh, the skinny kid's gonna get crunched".
Then skinny grabs fatty by the hair and knees him in the forehead three times, standing back after each blow to admire his work.
'Nuff said?

I want Joker to be an extermely dirty fighter, thus making him a pretty decent fighter. While batman is actually throwing punches the Joker could try to take his eyes out or something, just stuff Batman would never expect.

You forgot to mention that the bulky kid was trained for years to fight 600 men while the skinny wasn't. Not nuff was said.

Agreed, I wnat him to be as unpredictable in fighting as it's possible. He should be the real challenge to Batman.

Maybe I am wrong but Ledger is much bigger then Bale.

Heath Ledger is only an inch taller than Bale.

 

[MAKIEVELLI]

Seriously, you guys are forgetting that Bruce trained for seven years and how would The Joker even hurt him with all that armor on?

 

[the amazing fro]

He should be a good fighter and equal to batman in strength but his approach to fighting is more street and foul play.

 

[StylishHokie21]

A fight like the one in The Killing Joke. I would LOVE to see that.

Agreed! I loved that. Very brutal!

 

[Droogoonie789]

He should be NUTS when it coems to fighting. I mean, he never gives his opponent a break. Endless adrenaline. This guy should literally tear people apart. (Not Mortal Kombat literal, but beyond recognition literal). Then after he roughs them up he takes a deep breath, maybe straightens his tie. And as he walks away, crack a one-liner or giggle.

lots and lots of bullets

and im sure even with that bat helmet on, a few crow bars to the face would hurt bats.

 

[Stotch]

He should just fight dirty. Not as strong as Batman, but isn't afraid to throw sand in his eyes.

 

[dark_b]

we could say that nolan made bruce to good in BB.
nolan made bruce onee of hte best fighters in the world that can own 10 guys in a minute.

the problem is that bruce is trained so that he is almost always one step before anyone else.

it will be hard. i am scared that they will f.... up because bruce is the perfect fighting machine in BB

Care to explain how is this is managed?

So far you were describing Batman perfectly.

He should be able to fight, not kung fu or anything just able to kick ass. the emphasis should be made on how joker is willing to do anything to win, controlling the enviroment, humiliating his opponent, putting them in impossible situations. Joker should have some sort of twisted intelligence, that ables him to outwit his opponents thanks to how sociopathic he is. Its quite comparable to batman, who faces opponents he cannot beat physically with his intelligence, jokers fighting plans should be born right out of insanity and his devious, cold and calculating mindset.

phew.....i need a beer.

 

[The Empire Ape]

The Joker in the comics is sometimes incredible strong. I remember one time 4 guards went on him and he tossed them all away.

Agreed.

There's a great part in Sam Keith's Batman: Secrets book where the Joker corners this couple and the girl warns her boyfriend to be careful because she's heard of what the Joker can do. He shrugs her off stating that he's bigger and points out that he also has a bat on him. The next cell shows the Joker maniacally tearing into the guy, just below the panel, with blood shooting out everywhere. The Joker then states something like, "Yeah, but guess who's more psycho?" It's chilling.

I also love the part in The Killing Joke where he just pulls Batman's cowl down over his eyes. It's just classic.

 

[SantoAnderson]

I see the Joker getting pummeled, but he doesn't feel anything, emotionally or physically.

 

[Shot Gun Shy]

About average, but very fast. Also, no fight with the Joker is ever a fair one.

I dont think a fight with any superhero is fair, either.
They have their super powers and gadgets.
I know ppl are so against "dirty fighters" and all that, but I dont know any superhero that isnt a dirty fighter.
I sure as hell cant fly or glide or shoot webs =(

 

[Mike_D202]

I think he should just be a street brawler. No special fighting techniques.

He uses mostly weapons anyways.

 

[darknight7]

The Joker should be an average fighter, who controls the area...but also he should be unpredictable. A normal fighter would fight with his hands and feet...Joker should have brass nuckles, and throw dust in Batman's face, and have crow bars up his sleeves and knives in his jacket, and marbles that blow up, and crazy **** that he could just throw at Batman and it would distract Batman just for the slightest second, that 1 second that gives Joker time to smash him with a crow bar or sledge hammer.

Batman is brute force, Joker is quick action.

As fast as Batman is, you can only move so much with all that equipment on. Joker can move swiftly with regular clothes.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I think the Joker should be a Average - Above Average fighter, hes some where in-between

 

[Bandyt]

with the set reports and what they seem to be doing with the Joker, I believe the Joker's fighting style can be summed up in one word;
EXPLOSIONS

 

[Eros]

Joker should fight like reguler person would fight, but only he uses trickery and deception.
