Is Joker really the most dangerous villain on earth?
Batman is the most powerful hero by far, so yes.
imposter frank from the painterthe batman who laughsboth are more dangerous
>>152173714>Shoots them in the facewoooow
>>152173714Based on his record yeah
>>152173714This shit right here is why the superhero genre is an abomination. Capeshit needs to be legally banned. Not even kidding.
>>152173714With all the turns into metafiction DC does, surprised there hasn't been anything establishing yet there's like, some mega demon from the omniverse that acts as a protective patron saint for the joker and that's why the joker gets away with everything, likewriting in "this character gets wanked for marketability" as an in-universe element
>>152173714Most low profile cape villains in a rogues gallery can kill Joker before he can blink
>>152173714Let's pretend editorial has clamped down on Batwank/jokerwank , who would actually get the the title of the most dangerous villain?
>>152174110If the joker had a patron then he wouldn't be the most dangerous, the patron would be, so he can't have one

>>152173714wasn't the appeal of these guys that they weren't especially powerful?
>>152174192In general I would say DarkseidOn earth... Reverse Flash I think
>>152173714No.
>>152174192right now it's darkseid and/or the great darkness
>>152173714No, that's fucking retarded
>>152174276modern DC's power system is street cred
>>152174412I always liked the idea that the moment Joker stepped out of Gotham none of the other real heroes would put up with his bullshit
>>152173714Because bats keeps letting him escape, so yes
>>152173714Not at first but he's been flanderized to the point where he is.
>>152173714There's a difference between dangerous and powerful. It's like Buu from Dragonball. Buuhan is more powerful but Kid Buu is more dangerous because that version is insane and will just kill or destroy things randomly for no reason. If the intent was to say Joker is random and if you would rather be sitting in a room with him or Lex Luthor then maybe. Plenty of villains could fuck Joker up outside of him getting plot armor
>>152175891This, there's a huge gap in reasoning from "I'd rather be in a room with Lex Luthor than Joker" to "that means every single human on Earth is on borrowed time from the Joker", which is what that panel is trying to peddle.
>>152173714Yes, since Salvation Run he has been the biggest baddest villain that guys that wrestle with Superman are terrified to piss off.
>>152174110Joker being some avatar for the Lords of Chaos would at least explain his not dying at the end of his stories all the damn time.
>>152174192Reverse Flash is a fucking problem that no one can reasonably deal with. Black Adam is the more immediate threat that only a few heroes can handle when he gets out of line. But there are also a lot of low level guys that can be really fucking scary like Matter Master (who is basically DC Molecule Man) or guys like Angle Man and Mirror Master who open holes in dimensions. Faust and other magic users are crazy powerful too. Eclipso might be the worse that hangs on earth though.The biggest threats are generally not from or on earth most of the time like Darkseid, Neron, Sinestro, Mxy,
