  • It's remarkable how even Bruce Timm the creator of Harley Quinn can look at Batman and say some shit like "Batman has no good villains" And then follow that up with oh yeah! we can fix that by making the Penguin into a woman! Clown world indeed... Tough i doubt even the Joker could have dreamt up torture quite as terrible as Batman Caped Crusader

      I've notice that the Batman movies are trying to avoid having over the top villians, because they want Batman's journey to be realistic. I really want to see villians like Clayface, Madhatter, Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy. The Batman Arkham series can give a modern take of those villians, why not movies.

    Bruce Tim did not create Harley Quinn. It was Paul Dini, who was the chief writer for "Batman, the Animated Series", and had absolutely nothing to do with "Batman:Caped Crusader". Bruce Tim was just a designer on "BTAS", and along with J.J.Abrams deserves full credit for how awful this series is.

      Exactly! I've said the same thing for years: the irony of The Penguin is that among Batman's villains, He Is The NORMAL One!
      The majority of the others are psychos and lunatics who want to kill Batman, destroy the human race or create unsolvable puzzles. Penguin just wants to run the mob. He just wants to do "business."
      And none of the "writers" can figure out a way to make that play?
      Pathetic.

    The problem is simple.
    These 'writers' want to steal the success of other people.
    I have seen Batman Animated Series.
    I have seen The Batman (2004 series).
    We had Mr Freeze being the husband who lost his wife and suffered depression, hatred, and revenge.
    We had Mr Freeze being a heartless cold serial killer who focused on stealing as much money as possible and being a ruthless villain with no redeeming values.
    We had Penguin wanting to join upper society and mocked for his birth defects.
    We had Penguin being a dark reflection of Bruce Wayne using his profit and family fortune to benefit himself and do crime to help himself more.
    We even had a relatively nice Joker suffering from mental issues who fell in love with Harely Quinn... Who was in fact a horrible person who toyed Joker along as she was setting him up to be the fall guy for her crimes pushing him over the edge faster into full blown insanity and criminal actions.
    The issue here?
    They are stealing the names of the Batman characters and then just slapping them on B-rate villains just to show off their totally original do not steal female characters.
    A female Hugo Strange who uses her degree to trick people for her own ends as she claims what she is doing is for the good of everyone... Just ignore the fortunes she keeps getting that are donated to her with a bunch of other people.
    Man-Jaw cop. The female detective better than Batman who is in a lesbian relationship with her foe who is more like 'Robin Hood' if you really think about it making her crimes totally justified!
    Then hypocrisy Not-Batwoman! A defense Lawyer who tells everyone that the cops are the REAL VILLAINS of the show and if they weren't so brutal then maybe there wouldn't be any psychotic criminals murder in people.
    All criminals deserve a chance if their a girl... But make one move against her and she shall shove you in a jail cell as an enemy of the state as how dare those heartless ruthless criminals who dare break the law be given a chance of mercy!
    Oh and sometimes we get the guest star Batman to pop in from time to time.

      ​@@odinsrensen7460 If I am correct that was the Telltale Batman Game (Season 2 The enemy within). It's been a while and the choices/consequences of that game can wildly change.
      Especially with your first run and how it may color your opinions sort of like Fire Emblem Three Houses as that first run paints most of the further interactions and past interactions wildly as me and my brother got two very different ideas or view points on the Joker from what we had picked.
      In Batman Tell Tale Season 2 we get John Doe - Aka going to probably become the Joker.
      Joker gets released, talks about this new group he ends up running into to Bruce (you both ran into each other in the Insane Asylum long story) and most people ended up picking the 'I owe you a favor in the future' option so this is his call in the future.
      Long story short he asked Bruce for a favor and depending on the choices you make greatly colors the story throughout the game.
      Who you trust, who you throw under the bus, if you Trust John Doe, if you try to save Catwoman (or not throw her under the bus) and how Harley and Joker even interact.
      So that by the end... you get the ending of Episode 4 and how Episode 5 plays out.
      The ending with you either placing your trust in John Doe as he promises to try and talk down Harley Quinn from her plan... or you not trusting him. As again... your prior actions also color this scene along with how John Doe views your character in trying to figure out if the two of you are truly friends or if you are just using him to get what you want.
      As there was a bit of a debate on if you really should trust 'the joker' or try being friends with him considering you have a good idea on how it would probably end.
      So by the start of Episode 5... Spoiler warning if you care
      -------
      Spoiler
      You get Vigilantly Joker if you trusted John Doe as it turns out Harley was just using Joker. You even have a few scenes as he tries being a hero... before things end badly, you have to take him down, and in the Asylum he is left getting medical and psychological care as he is forced to reflect upon his actions, but there is hope that he can get better.
      A nice guy joker ending for some as there is hope that he can get better in much the same way a non-mutilated Harvey who doesn't get half his face mutilated, goes REALLY FAR off the deep end and gets proper medical and psychological attention might recover. Seriously the amount of times half of his body can get mutilated and how he acts between psycho drugged Harvery who could recover (but doesn't through 1-5) and actually mutilated Harvey is a bit wild.
      If you didn't trust John Doe... well he ends up shaking up with Harley as that version of Harley really did care for Joker. He goes on his psycho run as he get Joker as the Joker who you have to defeat and he gets sent to the Asylum where your past actions may end up affecting a few things.
      You can even get it where the Joker wants to be 'enemies for life' Batman and yet also doesn't want to hurt Bruce Wayne as he sort of views the two as different people.
      Again... it's one of those 'you playthrough and actions' tend to color the story. Some people preferred the villain Joker and others felt sad for how Vigilant Joker ended as they felt sorry for the guy.
      And this is again... the JOKER who is generally the card carrying villain with no redeeming values and probably should have been shot by a random cop during any of the numerous times Batman beat the guy senseless and handed him over to the police so that he could be carted away to the rotating rest home for super villains who break out of there every week.

When faced up with his evil copies, Bats has to get more crafty and show off the other areas he's good at. Then there's the villains who are dark reflections of him, such as Penguin, who shows what Bruce Wayne could have become had he not dedicated himself to justice and ensuring no other Gothamite has to go through what he did in Crime Alley.
