@@AsadKhan-ic9qi It's part of his character there since Bruce is sexually stunted due to never developing emotionally beyond that night in the alley, Batman basically crippled his natural sexual development and that is why the Joker groped him (and sexually taunts him during the whole story). Batman didn't break Joker's arm or anything else like one would expect because he could only be disgusted by that act of sexual violence due to all sexuality being unfamiliar and foreign to him, which is different from regular violence which he understands and is able to respond to.

13:02 Edward misrepresented one of Batman's most badass scenes. Joker was accusing Batman of being vain, because he leaves his jawline exposed even though it would be more practical to cover it with bulletproof armor like the rest of his cowl. Then Batman drops down and casually reveals the real reason he exposes his mouth is to mock pathetic criminal scum like Joker, which triggers Mr.J so much he kills his own right-hand man.

Personally I didn't like the ending to Damned, the wording of "I wish he were still alive" just feels really contrived and out of character to justify the ending, I don't care much they bait their dynamic as romantic, if the Joker died of a prostate cancer Bats would sleep easy for the first time in his life. I think he would've worked better if he said something to the effect of "I wish I didn't do it", reframing Batman's guilt as directed to breaking his code rather than the worst person since Hitler dying in his vicinity.

Bruce must have left the Bat-Foreskin on another utility belt.

Love how bermejos batman looks like robert pattison if he was fuming with 40 pounds of muscle, and his version of joker is perfect to me, he's supposed to be sadistic and vile its in his nature to see the funny side of existence and that to him is just nothing. Existing is the joke, and death is the punchline to him he doesn't always have to be cracking jokes and being goofy like the golden age joker.

Man, Azzarello had quite the interesting interpretation of the DCU Lex Luthor, Man of Steel and his run on Wonder Woman during The New 52 are easily some of the most peak of modern Cape Comics, imo. Joker and Noel were not my cup of tea, but even I can’t deny how excellent Lee Bermejo is when it comes to how well he can carry a story with his visual storytelling alone

Also, I find it fascinating that Warren Ellis decided to reboot the entirety of the Wildstorm universe with The Wild Storm (24 Issue Maxiseries) and the first spin-off that he authorized for it…was for Deathblow 😒 I think it was released as “Michael Cray” and written by Bryan Hill (very talented writer), but how strange is it that they chose to bring it back but not immediately go into Stormwatch, the precursor to The Authority, totally for Deathblow? Addendum: I’m aware that the Stormwatch was originally meant to spin off from The Wild Storm #24, but then Warren Ellis got bombarded with accusations left and right. I just think it’s shitty that he never got the chance to see it through and instead was treated as guilty before proven innocent

The Luthor mini is probably the closest to being canon to the main universe. I still love it for portraying Lex by way of Patrick Bateman, with Bruce as his Paul Allen. “I have hope.”

What I really like about comic books is. You can have a favorite character and have completely different flavors of fed character that are independent in some instances and interconnected in others

I think the intention of the writers is to remind the audience how irredeemable Joker is as a character because he does some truly abhorrent stuff. This is a character that also happens to be as popular as Batman and he's a fictional psychopathic serial killer.

Idk what you’re talking about they’re all legit

There was another short story in the anthology Batman: The World that was also by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo if you wanted to check

Azzarello has one of the darkest Joker interpretations. One most people wouldn't like.

In the joker comic, if I remember correctly, Batman didn’t say his armor was to mock the joker, he said that about the only hole _in_ his armor, which is the chin area. Joker asks him why he leaves that reminder to everyone that he’s just a handsome dude in a suit, and Batman says “to mock you.”

The same thing. Honestly, I love the gloom and the edgy. But the damned one is too tedious. It feels like the writers, out of boredom, added as many philosophical quotes and nudity and a little swearing as possible to make the comic "more mature", as if we didn't have the canon of comics and the previous graphic novel about Jonkler. Also, despite the beautiful artistic style, my eyes get tired of very dark tones. However, I like the Joker. P.S.: actually, I REALLY like dark artistic styles (for example, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, A serious house on a serious earth or the same Joker) but because of the boring plot and the dullness of everything, as well as the realism (in terms of drawing), it is quite tiring.

Video essays like this are the perfect shit to eat dinner too. Eating and watching show shows is hard to pay attention too. Cheers for the review and comedy

I can understand if you didn’t like the “joker” story but I feel like you should really give it another shot some time. It’s one of my favorites because it’s a lot deeper than explained here especially how it’s told from Jonnys perspective and he’s trying to get out that life and he knows it’s bad but it’s dragging him back but ultimately it kills him. There’s parts where you can tell he kinda looks up to him inna way and the joker is just a destructive person that destroys the things he cares about like the part (forgot how it went) but you kinda can tell he’s mad and annoyed that jonnys sticking with him. Idk it’s deeper than I explained too but it’s good I feel like it’s an overlooked gem by a lot of people

@@Edwardrabbit oh yeah no problem just leaving it for the other people watching this video in case they didn't know

These are all enjoyable, and each story elevates the others in this 'series'. I also think of them as taking place in the same parallel reality, or whatever. I don't think they're perfect, though - Damned, especially, has issues for me. For instance, Batman gets damned for killing a mass murderer? Give me a break. There's an argument to be made that he might get damned for being selfish enough to NOT kill Joker. I know ya'll have read that Punisher issue penned by Ennis? You know the one - the one with Daredevil, which serves as the 'trolley problem' for superhero comics' 'no-kill policy'. And in that comic, Ennis pretty much squashes the whole 'heroes should never kill' rule. Because it's dumb. I mean, I get it - these are good people with standards and morals, and they don't want to elevate themselves above the law. But they also have a responsibility to save innocents, and one broken, pasty white neck would save hundreds, if not more, innocent lives. I still really enjoyed Damned, it's great. Also enjoyed Darwin Cooke's Ego, which deals with Batman not killing, too, but I just don't agree with the conclusions to this black-and-white-morality argument. Batman occasionally going Punisher on a rogue or two would not send him spiraling into 'murder mode' where he turns into the Batman Who Laughs, or something (def an overused concept, if there ever was one - kinda like the Phoenix-force and mutants living on Krakoa). Batman has crazy will-power. He could take Joker out and deal with it, and Gotham would be a better place.

Awesome video

Batman set in a small sub city in a vast Hive City in the Greater universe of Warhammer 40k. Now you know what the authors were thinking.

these stories are a little controved and confusing to md at least but i like that they don't feel like they don't belong zatanna telling deadman to "dnif a erom elbitus tsoh!" and him turning into a rat feels very natural for dc
