>villain commits vicious crimes>capture him and hand him over to the authorities>everyone is incompetent and the villain escapes>repeatWhat's even the point?
>>153163839Why doesn't the Batman amputate the Joker and encase him in a concrete block? Checkmate atheists. (I am very smart.)
>>153163839It’s all status quo shit. Realistically Joker would have been sentenced to death ages ago. The insanity plea fails since the fucker is cognizant/competent enough to make all these intricate traps and plans for Batman. Same goes for the other rogues. Not to mention nearly all of them would be tried on the federal level given they are actively committing some serious acts of terrorism. I mean Ivy alone is a walking biohazard, scarecrow regularly subjects people to mind altering chemicals, and Bane has a personal army.
>>153163839There is a certain method Batman could potentially use to ensure that the supervillains of Gotham never commit a crime again...
>>153163839Modern day tale of Sisyphus One must imagine Batman is happyhttps://youtu.be/CB42Hz349JM
>>153164040Theirs layers of convoluted bullshit of Joker being kept within the system by corrupt politicians that use him for a distraction or scapegoat, or other super villains who try to use him in their schemes.He is too useful to remain behind bars.
>>153163839The point is to shame the system into changing.when a fucking guy in a bat costume is doing your job better than the entire police force, you need to FIX THE CORRUPTION.oh, you can't? This guy devotes his life to going out and fighting crime every single fucking night. I think if one man can accomplish that, in the face of insurmountable you-sucking-at-your-jobs, then YOU can at least WORK on the problem.Because that's what Bruce wants, in the end. He wants more people like his parents, to do what his parents did, and wield money and power to improve a bad situation.

If I was a writer for DC I would establish the existence of a god called something on the nose like "Kill-no" the god of forms, who exists to prevent superheroes and supervillains from dying. He mostly exists as a subconscious religion that most superheroes unknowingly follow, but will interfere to protect both heroes and villains in life or death situations. He is strengthened by long running continuities, which is why he has no power to intervene in alternate universes and doomed futures. Also he looks like the greek philosopher Plato
>>153164224you know, that tracks. he'd be like a way shittier Uatu, mixed with Mojo, because he's enjoying watching it happen.
>>153164224Would that make Batman's parents come back to life? Because Thomas Wayne is a superhero in every continuity he survives the gunshot wound.
>>153163839>>153164040>>153164083>>153164224because life always finds a Wayn.maturing is realizing that bot Bruce and Joker are victims
>>153164224Wouldn't it make more sense of supervillains just having superhuman endurance, and are able to live despite Batman trying to kill them.
>>153164078>But Gordon, if you rape the Joker, another Joker will just kill him and take his place!
>>153164357i think Batman simply not wanting to kill considering his crusade on crime started with murder he witnessed at like 10 is enough of a reason, plus, his dad was a doctor. he just values life a lot and he probably doesn't have the stomach to take it, even if they're maniacs like Joker or Scarecrow
>>153164468I like this a lot. Plus it makes it so when he's old and grizzled he finds it harder and harder to see the value in ANY life, his own included, making him leagues more dangerous to everyone
>>153163839The sheer incompetency of public forces against criminals is the most real part of batman stories.
>>153163839status quo infinity blah blahbecause hero comics are like that readers have gotten used to idea that any given villain will have a long, successful career spanning decades.If capeshit wasn't a cesspool of reincarnation and reboot most villains would be of the 'the brightest stars burn out the fastest' variety.High impact, high chaos villains who over the span of a couple -maybe a little more, a few - of years make the occasional appearance but generally have their careers ended in the span of no more than five major arrests by heroes
>>153164370The reason there's multiple Joker's is because when one gets raped one of the top goons has to take the raped's place as Joker, then that Joker gets raped and repeats the cycle. It will only end when Batman or one of his successors finally rapes the Joker
>>153164146>He is too useful to remain behind bars.Maybe back in the day when he was just a clown that sometimes kills a few people. Now he's a walking WMD who regularly commits acts of terrorism on a massive scale that totally fucks over everyone in Gotham and beyond. In other words, what he does fucks with the money, the powers that be would hate that and would want him gone.Amanda Waller or someone else in the Government would have Epstein'd or had him killed "while trying to escape" long ago.
>>153163839Who the fuck still reads Batman?
>>153164670me when i view you 4chan post
>>153164665I get the feeling Joker has a very subtle metahuman ability of -luck-
>>153164468It makes him come off as a pussy and a liability when he cannot make a snap decision to save other peoples lives by needing to kill someone. You know, like a trained officer does.
>>153165172Less luck and more that he is iconic and marketable. Why make a new villain for Batman to fight when you could just bring the clown in again and alter a few details. I mean the only slightly interesting take he’s gotten in a while was White Knight but even then it was only used to just do a “what if everyone turned on the cities only competent tard wrangler because the dude who is known for convoluted plans involving trickery says we should” also no one tried to kill him while he was sane.
>>153163839To differentiate him from The Shadow
>>153164040Spbp
>>153165288The Batman doesn’t have a huge fucking nose
>>153163839>What's even the point?Selling more crap.
They need to stop writing Joker as a fag who wants Batman to kill him. He should be the ultimate trap master. Someone who conjures up SAW type traps, with Joker gas filling the warehouses turning everything into a hallucinatory nightmare with spikes and buzzsaws. His men all wear gas masks to protect themselves, and bite down on cyanide capsules if Batman catches them.Joker lacks a goal beyond fucking with Batman, so he should strive to become something of a noble anarchist. A criminal doing what Batman isn't. Targeting the most powerful and corrupt people in the world, and killing them in hopes to destabilize and cause global anarchy.
>>153163839>A HERP A DERP SUPERHEROES ARE STOOPID! A HUUUUUURRCongratulations, you have noticed the bloody obvious. You must feel so smart.
>>153165631>He should be the ultimate trap master. Someone who conjures up SAW type trapsthere's already a guy who sorta does that >Joker gas filling the warehouses turning everything into a hallucinatory nightmare there's already a guy who does that >Joker lacks a goal beyond fucking with Batman, so he should strive to become something of a noble anarchist.there's already a guy who does that
>>153164040also in real life mass killers don't escape and reoffend again and again.I think the best approach is to just not take 'muh world building' too seriously. You can see a character like the Joker as a representation of violent crime in general.
>>153166808Here are the two best approaches:>1: accept the status quo for what it is and just enjoy watching Batman and Joker dance their eternal dance>2: wash your hands of mainstream comics entirely and go read something that doesn't slavishly adhere to an unchanging status quoAnd there is also:>3: keep planting apple seeds and complaining that they don't grow into orange trees instead of just fucking planting orange seeds, like an absolute fucking buffoon
>>153164224this is EXTREMELY gay
>>153164194People shit on this episode a lot but I honestly like it.
The judges should also be raped
>>153163839Selling more comics.
>>153164040Has Batman ever said he wouldn't work with the police if someone he assisted in the capture of is executed?
