>"Alright listen up, he can beat my adoptive son to near death with a crowbar so I can see him die in my arms, and cripple my friend for life and then rape her, but god DAMN it I will not allow anyone to touch a hair on his head">"Run, Joker, you have so many innocent schoolchildren to shoot in the face for fun"
The punisher is cool
>>151836904DCAU Batman would never
>>151836984Yes he would. He had a whole movie about beating up his own girlfriend for trying to hurt Joker. He had an original villain whose only crime was being le mean to Harley Quinn as a prisonguard. Harley who went on to kidnap and torture Tim Drake.
>>151836904I think any story where Batman and Joker team up, or even act non aggressively towards each other you as the reader are just supposed to ignore everything the Joker has done as a character, because by this point Batman should be physically restrained not to kill him realistically
>>151837004To be fair, Tim killed him almost immediately, so we never really got to see how Bruce would've treated joker. And in that whole sequence Bruce is manhandling him in a much more brutal way than we ever see from him in the past.
>>151837030Making Joker into an Ed Gein tier monster was a mistake. He should've stayed a clown themed gangster.
>>151836904Kek
>>151837004I meant TNBA Batman specifically
>>151837157Slasher Monster Joker is just boring and shit writing by Scott Snyder, the worst thing to happen to DC comics.
