Why the fuck is every joker so gay for batman
>>
In this case, he's a daemon, so it makes sense why he'd be gay.
>>
>>154256200
"i want to do this dance forever"
feels unearned honestly, theres not been a single plot of batman directly messing with jonklers plans this is the first time they interacted 1 on 1 all hes been doing is watching him on his jonkler cave laughing
>>
>>154256306
one would he'd care about the myriad of superhumans running around instead.
>>
>>154256306
He probably sees Batman as the one thing different in the world. So many people just willing to let evil be and or embracing the fucked up reality so when someone actually does something different and isn't immediately killed for it, it sparks his interest and if Batman died or just gave up he'd be back to hunting defenseless people on an island probably bored out of his mind. Batman's the Dante Must Die mode of Joker's life.
>>
>>154256200
That’s what a nemesis is. An unhealthy gay codependency.
>>
>>154256200
You want a villain that's passionate about their enemy.
>>
>>154256396
Men raised in the modern century can't contexulize relationships beyond friends or people you want to fuck. It used to be a common and accepted social function for men to have a "rival", even if it's one sided, that often transcended the binary of whether you were friendly or hostile towards them as that didn't matter.

The closest we have to rivals these days are lolcows because people can compare themselves to a lolcow and already know they are doing better than them, it's an easy way of immediately feeling better about yourself. A rival where you already know you have won against. That's why aloggers are laughed at because they are the few people where a lolcow is an actual true peer rival with how spergy the alogger is. But people won't engage in comparing themselves to someone that actually challenges their own self-perception of competency beyond targeted advertisement.

I imagine Bruce is far more interesting to him than any superhuman or alien precisely because he's a normal human who somehow continues to be an uncompromising idealist. It must be a real oddity to see a regular human continue to put up a fight against near infinite wealth and resources. Just look at him having a jolly good time. Probably wanted to meet his favorite reality tv star face to face at last.
>>
>>154256306
I mean he basically created Bruce didn't he? Creating your own foil that basically never gives up even in the face of absolutely terrifying despair inducing darkness, someone who you could toy with forever and give you a bit of exercise? Sounds pretty good.
>>
>>154256452
With the Joker (and Eobard for that matter, could you pick a worse picture to "prove" your point?), it's not a rivalry. It's an obsession.
That's where the gay allegations are coming from.
Platonic rivals and/or mere enemies wouldn't act that way towards each other. Only someone who is completely obsessed.
And if you're a guy who is obsessed with another guy, you're probably gay.
>>
They straight up turned him into a Black Manta/Reverse Flash.
alas, the result is just default Joker, but now his character makes sense
>he's not "a mysterious man", he's just a demon
>he doesn't have "grand plans of chaos" he just wants to mess with batman

It will be same old Joker but now you can't say anymore: "this contrived bullshit doesn't hold up"
>>
this is the coolest depiction of the joker i think ever (besides Ledger's)
>>154256306
This Joker places his enemies on islands and then returns 30 years later to hunt and eat them. Thats how he likes it being the boogeyman
>>
>>154256200

It's god's way of making the highly satanic DC universe at least a little bit christian by making the homersexual evil
>>
>>154257259
The fuck is a "homersexual"?

I mean, I'm gay for Batman and he's just a fictional character in my reality.
>>
>>154256200
Everytime I read Absolute Batman I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. I honestly don’t understand why people like it. It’s just as bad if not worse than the mainline Batbooks
>>
>>154257528
You're taking it too seriously.

>>154257528
>nice role reversal Batman is broke Joker is rich
>evil universe where everyone is an asshole
>cool designs
>baddies are monsters
>>
>>154257560
>nice role reversal Batman is broke Joker is rich
Is he broke though? He literally has funds and the means to make multiple mini Batcaves throughout the city and huge ass Batmobile.

>evil universe where everyone is an asshole
If the characters were better written that could easily be fun but they aren’t being written well

>cool designs
Yeah no, I wouldn’t say cool… Edgy yes… but not cool

>baddies are monsters
So like every other Batman Book
>>
>>154257528
I think it's a decent, mostly standalone storyline that only requires a basic DC lore knowledge, which can be gathered from the cartoons, games, and movies. It's likely to end soon (unlike many other comics), so it has some stakes, it makes people care more about how it'll go and end.
Also, some animesque and memetic character designs.
>>
>>154257600
Hes a very smart guy that works a normal job that gives him experience to navigate the tunnels of gotham. And enough funds to create a bat truck which is a mining excavator truck.
So its all very much improvised with what hes got and bubble gum and tape science.

I kinda like the very grungy "every one is an asshole" style universe because imo our universe is almost like that anyway. so it really needs to be edgier for me to give a damn in this context,

The designs are awesome and honestly so cool and he best part with some exceptions.
Batman is like a Gutz/conan the barbarian type figure.
Joker is a like a demonic deathclaw
Bane was ridiculous like Akira
Ivy is resident evil

Love it, i want a video game but the chances of this being made into one and a good one are slim.
Hell even a movie would be great.

Every single joker is zesty, well except for picrel I guess

I hate this fucking clown so much.

>>154257600
hes broke because he spends all his money on batman stuff

Meanwhile the Honkler is a trillionaire
>>
Could Willy Wonka beat the Joker?
>>
>>154256200
Because its a gay joke
>>
actually its funny how in most comic settings power levels are measured by powers or strength

This setting its by how much money you have
>>
>>154257794
Do you like jokesticks?
>>
>>154257801
>This setting its by how much money you have

Just like real life

He's a big guy...
>>
>>154256510
Bruce is the most entertained he's been since the Ark M flashback over a century ago
>>
>>154257866
disappointed he didn't butcher the robins. Maybe another episode.
Even better Joker is probably going to do something horrible to them
>>
>>154257528
I think it's something new for the characters
>>
If someone was out to seriously kill Batman, would the Joker intervene to save Bats?
>>
>>154258275
Which Jonkler are we talking about? Absolute Jonkler probably would
>>
>>154256200
He's a clown.
Clowns and jesters dance.

Gay or not, him being a little playful with the talking in some wah is like the bare minimum.
>>
>>154257866
This is intentional, right?
>>
>>154256200
I hate having the same hairline as this stupid fucker.

I look retarded no matter way angle I am.
>>
>>154256306
Because Bruce is finally something interesting
He set Bruce's life up but Bruce still surprises him. He's an immortal demon who is finally having a good time with a worthy human foe
>>
>>154257723
>And enough funds to create a bat truck which is a mining excavator truck.
He stole that from a bunch of maga guys
>>
>>154257528
Me neither. The fact that people try to defend it by saying "turn off your brain, bro!" says it all. It's seriously an awful book.
>>
>>154256200
>Mentally ill freak sees the most attractive man on earth
It's not hard
>>
>>154256200
I don't really read comics so I don't know but was joker always like this? Or did it start when heath ledger made it popular??
>>
>>154256200
Frank Miller made it kino, so others copied him.
>>
>>154256200
how is this scarier/more horrifying than absolute bane? its the exact same body horror shit.
>>
>>154266669
Yeah I still don't know how they'll top the bane arc
>>
>>154256306
I don't know about that. Honestly this run may be the first time it actually did feel earned. This is a Joker who has been alive for hundreds of years at least. Living through fucked up science means and just controlling things effortlessly. So much so he gets bored enough to try making a little side project and seeing where it would go and it completely exceeds his expectations and is entertaining him in ways he may have not felt in life times. I can sort of see why this Joker specifically would be invested in Batman.
>>
>>154256452
A rival is different from a nemesis. Rivals are independent individuals with competing goals on shared ground. When they improve each other through competition, the relationship evolves to meet the new stage. Like Goku and Vegeta.
Nemeses are in direct conflict and share a codependency on the conflict that eternally perpetuates it. Like Doof and Perry.
>>
>>154266669
because hes a giant man eating rape demon that uses dead babies as moisturiser?
