      I was thinking Joker found out his wife had faked her own death and had two police officers tell him a story she died in an accident because she can tell he was starting to lose it so she left to raise their child on her own. And that can be flashback revealing he knows now and visits them occasionally to terrorize them. Him sitting at the table could be him planning how to terrorize them next.

    • @paragon2622
      @paragon2622 Год назад +1

      According to the "Gotham" TV series, Joker paints his face with a red smile because that's what his father did to him. I think that Joker draws inspiration from his trauma, leading to him believing that his father was also Joker. But that's just my theory.

    Making Jason go through his trauma again was just CRUEL. I would have never expected him to be in that situation. one of the few times I was shocked by the Joker. I'm glad he's choosing to heal from it rather than lose himself even further. We might see him completely changed in the future.

      William samaras definitely. He has Nicholson’s gangster look (confirmed by Jason Fabok) and past (implied in this issue) but Ledger’s methods and tendency not to smile compared to the others. Much more serious.

It is superb story telling and great at showing a natural scarring fear of the man who killed his parents no matter what he has faced and what he has become in just a few panels.

    I have a strong feeling that if Jason wasn't found by Talia and found by a member of the Batfamily, he would be entirely different than his is now. Barbara kept everything from when she was recovering so that she can be reminded that she is stronger than what was done to her. Jason was turned into a weapon for Talia to use in her personal battle with Bruce. If he had the support system Barbara had, Jason would be so different. I am hoping Jason gets some love from her his family and the peace he needs.

She worked through her problems (granted, with a retconned back surgery) and healed while still dealing with unresolved anger, while Jason is in need of healing himself to become a better person. It may be a bit off balance here, but I can see them having a Beauty and the Beast type of thing.

    To be honest, Jason would be a miles better love interest than Dick for Barbara. Not because of like personalities, History together or whatever, but because it offers *A LOT* more writing Material.
    Jason and Barbara, as established in this Comic, are 2 sides of the same coin. Both scarred and traumatized by the Joker, but each one came out different. Barbara went on to keep follow Batman‘s code and became a better Hero because of it. Jason went on to follow his own beliefs and became a ruthless and unpredictable Killer. And because of that, both would perfectly balance each other out in stories.
    Barbara would be that glimmer of light in Jason‘s dark path that always tries to bring him back to the right track. The only string left in Jason‘s life that still connects him to the Bat Family, not completely abandoning them. Whilst Jason would at the same time try to show Barbara that the rules she follows only hinder her and if she would come with him, they both could truly safe Gotham in a way Batman never could. No rules where she wouldn‘t have to hold back anymore. Barbara would see that last bit of Hope in Jason that is still left. That least bit of Hope she refuses to let go and she knows she has to fight trough a lot of Darkness until she reaches that Hope. A perfect couple that dances on the concept of Good & Bad.
    And i know a *LOT* of people enjoy Dick with Barbara, but on a story and writers perspective, what are these 2 to each other? They are long time friends and crime fighting partners. I mean, that‘s the entire relationship between them and neither of them truly contributes to one another in a way that is with like Batman & Catwoman, Hulk & Betty Ross (not really the She-Rulk version) or Constantine and Zatanna. That‘s why Dick and Kori are only better by a bit since, again, they only contribute to one another as team member and the only true thing that makes their relationship intersting is that Kori is an Alien.

This is the original Joker (1940) who had no weird love-hate relationship, just hate. So it makes sense. Meanwhile in the Killing Joke, he kind of hates Batman there too as well as love him. It's complicated.

      N yeah pretty much. The Criminal is ripped straight from Batman #1, his first appearance in 1940. Both his covers are based on panels from there. This Joker wasn’t goofy, he didn’t pull pranks or tell jokes. He was a criminal mastermind who challenges Batman (and Robin) to stop his crimes, which were mainly killing and stealing things. The main reason he’s called the Joker besides his face, is because of the playing card. He likes to leave it in his crimes and even use it to kill people. He also messed with gangsters a lot. Like in The Dark Knight.

And I'm a tad annoyed how Barbara is so vengeful towards Jason killing one of the Jokers even if she got crippled by one of them. Sometimes, a line has to be drawn to save lives whether it's right or wrong depending on the character. Just like how the DC heroes have given Wonder Woman a pass for killing Max Lord or whenever Aquaman goes on an ecological rampage on the surface world.

      What lives? Joker was handcuffed, and Red hood killed him cold blooded cuz he didn’t like what he said about him and what him feel 😂. Joker beat him again and made him kill and pull the trigger that’s what the joker wants, to make him and Batman suffer since killing is what Batman is against and Barbra knows that’s what he wants, it doesn’t go away by just killing someone, it’s a lot more complicated than that. That’s why Batman doesn’t kill, if he did, he will never be the same again, he will be lost like Red hood, and the fact Red hood used that against Barbra upsets her and made it seem like she was part of the murder using her trauma which upsets her, as Batman said in the comic “I wish Red Hood turned out like you” Barbra came out of it strong after what Joker did to her, she didn’t go down that dark path like red hood and Barbra doesn’t want to lose herself and what she stands for, and that is justice and not giving away what she believes in. She was upset by red hood actions and dragging her to it. She’s traumatic and was emotional, Jason took away what she was finding strength from, what drives her to be good and better. You people need to use your brain for once not everything is simple and straight forward, it’s a human being. Violence is never the answer.

    Honestly at this stage the only member of the bat family with good morals is Jason Todd. I mean the joker has killed thousands of innocent people yet they are actually upset about his death and didn’t want him killed, as if they would’ve been happier for him to survive and go on killing. Their black and white attitude to murder is so infuriating for these apparent heroes that they will view the murder of a serial killer and the deaths of thousands of innocents as the same thing

      Meh or the city could change the laws and execute these criminals. It's not their fault nobody else will legally do the right thing.

    Whyyyy did they kiss? That was honestly unnecessary, and gross. It would've been much more mature, telling, and better, more original writing, if they just hugged.
