the gorgeous and the grotesque
so while everyone was happy over damian’s return in Batman & Robin, the dynamic duo of Synder & Capullo were busy creating nightmare fuel over in Batman #37
this is so fucking stupidSo…does he time travel or….
…huh.
After I reblogged this I had the same thought of him shopping himself in. I really hope that is the case.
It’s just 24 pages of Joker learning CS5.
Unless you’re talking about the ‘unnamed comedian’ bit? As in people taking that as the 100% true origin of Joker? I mean, he’s nuts so I don’t think any origin he’d recall would be based in reality. I do go on…Mainly the fact that people use that origin as THE origin ya know.
Ah, yes. Once I thought about it, I figured that’s what you meant. There may be a grain of truth to Jeannie. His life then and his wife might also be complete fiction. I think he’s probably damaged to a point where he really doesn’t know who the hell he was before that chemical bath. I prefer not knowing. Giving him an origin ruins the mystery.
The major issue I have with that origin is a lot of people use it as an excuse for what he does now, which is preposterous as well as showing they missed the entire point of The Killing Joke. The punch line is Gordon doesn’t go mad. He’s stronger than Joker. Joker thinks one bad day can break you and Jim comes out of it and he’s still Jim.
