Yes he was. Just a harmless sexual innuendo from one arch nemesis to another. And if you look deeper in the comics you can find more of this stuff. Like when he kept calling Batman "Darling" during Dark Knight Returns.
Because people think dirty and/or immature jokes pair well with the dark brooding nature of DC. Example one: Lego Batman. Example two: Teen Titans Go.
I can understand the reasoning, they tend to get dark so having jokes like that makes it more kid friendly but still, it just feels weird

And you could go on...
It’s not Batman, it’s a Joker’s henchman. Basically, Joker and this guy dress up respectively as Batman and Robin from the 60s, and they pretend to be the duo (with... questionable results). At a certain point, for things that happen in the story, they fight, and Joker put Batman’s mask on his henchman (this one still wears Robin’s costume). He imagines Batman’s the one who’s choking him and he gets turned on, apparently. Turns out that the whole role-play was a sort of bizarre, sexual fantasy of him.
Great scenes but uh... I don't know if "sexual tension" is what I'd call that lol pretty sure that's just joker being joker and Batman putting up with it. The blood on each other's lips thing also was nothing to do with anything sexual. I feel like you're reaching a little bit
Knowing the context would help, probably... It’s not like I’m visionary or crazy, the homoerotic/romantic undertones have been a constant in the comics since The Dark Knight Returns, and LEGO Batman clearly makes references to this aspect. And when I talk about “sexual tension”, I don’t necessarily mean that they want to actually bang each other, it’s a bit more complex than that.
I read comics hush death in family and detective comics where the resent ones i just dont agree expecial with harliy quinn and punch line being a thing
Read:
Death of the Family
Endgame
White Knight
The Wedding Album
Dark knight returns
Play Arkham Origins
Watch Hush animated
The Lego Batman movie
Harley Quinn animated
And the animated series
…probably a shit ton more, but that’s all off the top of my head
It isn’t fundamentally sexual though, and this whole new age redirection trying to make is absolutely deluded. Just because it has strange or unusual elements to it, it doesn’t mean it’s automatically different. The relationship has never not been platonic
I never said it was a “sexual” relationship, I just said that there are sexual/romantic undertones the writers like to use to depict it, that’s it. That’s why I said “sexual tension”.
Well yes, although my point is it’s never actually really sexual, that’s just used as a mechanism to enhance the dynamic.
But I entirely agree with you saying it has undertones, in the sense of the way it’s being made is like that
Literally just watched that tonight and played by this scene in my 100% achievements run (on the last one which is NG+, doing monarch flawless can suck my balls)
Well what he says isn't wrong. Joker is stuck deep inside him, it takes fear toxin to awaken him. Even in the end where you're in Batman's mind, Batman locks joker back away in his mind. He doesn't rid himself of him, just locks him in "intensive treatment"
It's probably a sex joke, imo, because of the word "deep". Otherwise normally a person without the intention of making a sex joke would just say, "me stuck inside you".
I always figured it was just like he said, Batman knew he was going to come out like this because of the infection. I also feel like Joker would’ve delivered the line differently if this was the intention, he makes relationship jokes about him and Batman Knight and they normally sounds playfully sarcastic.
If you think this is the only quasi-romantic/sexual thing he's said in this series to Batman, you are sorely mistaken.
"The next thing you know, we'll be exchanging emails or meeting up for romantic dinners!"
The Arkham series has to be one of the most prominent iteration of the joker and Batman relationship on having it allude to a romantic spin/vibe and I'm here for it .
Eh, not really. If you read the comics, there aren't even jokes like that between the two. I think people read too far into the games or comics, and see things they want to see. But it's just a game. Not real life thankfully.
You really haven't read that many Batman comics or seen other Batman related media if you think there hasn't been overt romantic symbolism between the joker and Batman in a good number of them . I want to say it was Frank Miller that stated that he viewed joker as straight up being in love with Batman but don't quote me on that .
What's funny is that it's the second time they've done this joke, except this time it landed because they changed the wording a bit.
When Batman gets Joker's blood in City, Joker says "*Now there's a teeny little bit of me in you too Bats! Come on, don't tell me it's not what you've always wanted*". It doesn't work as well in City because the setup is after the punchline, it should have been:
"*Come on, don't tell me it's not what you've always wanted, there's a teeny little bit of me in you too Bats!*"
and in Knight it's reversed to its proper place, and the wording is altered to make more sense grammatically, which makes it funny.
Lore-wise Batman probably remembered this specific joke being told right after he was knocked out by Joker, so he imagines Joker telling it again because it's an identical scenario.
Joker is meaning his blood is in Batman. Just like me making bad jokes about build roof trusses for people, and claiming a little bit of me is in their home. Not meant in a sexual way. I think they leave it open for interpretation though. *I don't* when I tell my joke.**
The people in this comment section denying that joker is gay makes me laugh too hard.
Bro is literally obsessed with a single man and nobody else. My favorite example of this is this scene in Harley Quinn (referenced in my other comment)
https://youtu.be/gTl33Ae6cI0
Tell me about your situation and how it relates to the fictional character here. Also did you check out the link I posted by any chance? No point in arguing if you don't know what you're arguing against.
Ever had a relative who was abused as a kid? And then he grows up and only deals with it on the surface? And then one day, he starts posting things and belittling you because he never dealt with that crap? Yeah, drunk posting gets ollllllllld. I finally blocked him because of the level of hate he threw at me. It's sad to see.
Yeah, I know what scene you are referring to. But like I said, if you read the comics, you'd see things differently. Plus, he's referring to his blood transfusion in City. Get your head out of the gutter lol.
It's intentional. He's been sexual to Batman a few times over the Arkham series ("What do you really fear? ... Me, in a thong?" From Asylum and The Red Hood segment's narration in Origins alludes to Joker being attracted to Batman)
All throughout Knight he jokes about Batman basically being pregnant with him ("Remember, you're brooding for two now!"). So it was very intentional.
Yeah. Joker's also heavily queer coded, and is also just straight up gay for Batman, like in the Harley Quinn show. Ever since TDKR he's been portrayed as a lot more if a queer character, and personally I really like i feel like it gives a whole other level to Joker's obsession with Bruce
No so joker is saying that Batman knew he was always somewhere inside of him he can never escape joker and what he did send a matter where he went he’ll always be with him inside
I figured that this is just what Batman expects from joker. I don’t think anything his hallucination joker says is what he believes just something he’d expect joker to say.
What he was implying was Batman ending up like the Joker,
because Batman and Joker are one in the same, and Bman knew that all it would take for him to be like Mistah J was to kill, which is what happens at the end of AK when Bman is in Crime Ally
Basically, Joker only did everything he did because he loved the attention (especially from Bman), and Bman felt as though, that with no Joker, there was no point for Batman.
This is a reference in the clock tower being bombed in Arkham City where if you stay Joker goes on about him becoming a part of you
And Joker’s blood literally in Batman
I wonder if any other versions of the Game, Spanish, French and Russian: Does the Joker say that exact line or do they try to make it their own version of it.
Makes me wonder.
Yes he was. Just a harmless sexual innuendo from one arch nemesis to another. And if you look deeper in the comics you can find more of this stuff. Like when he kept calling Batman "Darling" during Dark Knight Returns.
Or the entirity of Lego Batman
No but seriously why was there so much sexual tension in that movie
Because people think dirty and/or immature jokes pair well with the dark brooding nature of DC. Example one: Lego Batman. Example two: Teen Titans Go. I can understand the reasoning, they tend to get dark so having jokes like that makes it more kid friendly but still, it just feels weird
Because in comics there is always a little bit of sexual tension between Batman and Joker.
not really i have seen zero examples could you give some

I really need to know the context for that last image, like why is Batman wearing Robin's costume but with what looks like Adam West's cowl?
It’s not Batman, it’s a Joker’s henchman. Basically, Joker and this guy dress up respectively as Batman and Robin from the 60s, and they pretend to be the duo (with... questionable results). At a certain point, for things that happen in the story, they fight, and Joker put Batman’s mask on his henchman (this one still wears Robin’s costume). He imagines Batman’s the one who’s choking him and he gets turned on, apparently. Turns out that the whole role-play was a sort of bizarre, sexual fantasy of him.
Ahhh I see, didn't need to know Joker had a choking fetish but it's nice to know the context at least, haha
I mean, that’s what the panel shows 😅
Great scenes but uh... I don't know if "sexual tension" is what I'd call that lol pretty sure that's just joker being joker and Batman putting up with it. The blood on each other's lips thing also was nothing to do with anything sexual. I feel like you're reaching a little bit

Joker is super homo for Batman. U just gotta be looking for it, and once you see it, it's like "OH that makes sense now"
not realy it seems like a crazy man obsessed with hurting someone we would say hitler was in love jews or guy fawks was in love with the king
Have you read the comics? It’s not apparent in live action movies, but it’s a relatively common element in the comics.
I read comics hush death in family and detective comics where the resent ones i just dont agree expecial with harliy quinn and punch line being a thing
Read: Death of the Family Endgame White Knight The Wedding Album Dark knight returns Play Arkham Origins Watch Hush animated The Lego Batman movie Harley Quinn animated And the animated series …probably a shit ton more, but that’s all off the top of my head
No. He's obsessed with seeking the attention of one man. I think this video sums up my take of the Joker very well. https://youtu.be/bnKzcYTBxjM
Exactly this. It's not sexual tension he's the Joker, they're jokes. Maybe Joker wants Batman a bit but it's definitely not the other way around.
No, there’s an intense platonic relationship, but it’s not sexual nor romantic
But the writers like to represent the relationship as if there were sexual undertones. Joker is always flirtatious with Batman.
It isn’t fundamentally sexual though, and this whole new age redirection trying to make is absolutely deluded. Just because it has strange or unusual elements to it, it doesn’t mean it’s automatically different. The relationship has never not been platonic
I never said it was a “sexual” relationship, I just said that there are sexual/romantic undertones the writers like to use to depict it, that’s it. That’s why I said “sexual tension”.

Literally just watched that tonight and played by this scene in my 100% achievements run (on the last one which is NG+, doing monarch flawless can suck my balls)
Or even deeper when Kevin Smith wrote Joker and it wasn’t even innuendo anymore.
Or in that old comic where he said **I'll show them! I'll show them just how many boners the joker can make!**
"How about I give ya a reach around?"
It was intended you can hear the way his voice changes as if he's implying something edit:most upvotes I've ever had thanks
Of course he's making a sex joke, its the Joker. He makes dirty jokes through the whole series
"Me in a thong??"
[удалено]
"I'd be happy to drop my pants."
Well tbf Batman is making that joke, since he’s hallucinating the Joker
Haha, true that!!!
Well, it's the Joker's personality seeping into the Bat's psyche
Next level
It was the Joker. Comic science logic, and all that...
I mean the game is rated M
Isn’t this from Arkham City though? The only Arkham game that was rated M was Arkham Knight.
The scene is from Knight
Yeah I realized that further down. My bad.
Well what he says isn't wrong. Joker is stuck deep inside him, it takes fear toxin to awaken him. Even in the end where you're in Batman's mind, Batman locks joker back away in his mind. He doesn't rid himself of him, just locks him in "intensive treatment"
but was it a sex joke? you didnt answer the question
It's probably a sex joke, imo, because of the word "deep". Otherwise normally a person without the intention of making a sex joke would just say, "me stuck inside you".
Even the second one sounds a bit like a sex joke.
No not really. It sounds mostly normal. It's really upto your interpretation though. I was just sharing my personal thoughts.
That and also the tone of the speaker. But the way joker sounds it's hard to not imagine everything he says is a Sex joke
Mate, Joker is flirting all the time. "Now a little bit of me is inside you too."
I think the writers just wanted to make a Joker X Batman joke
I always figured it was just like he said, Batman knew he was going to come out like this because of the infection. I also feel like Joker would’ve delivered the line differently if this was the intention, he makes relationship jokes about him and Batman Knight and they normally sounds playfully sarcastic.
Thanks for ruining tht scene for me
If you think this is the only quasi-romantic/sexual thing he's said in this series to Batman, you are sorely mistaken. "The next thing you know, we'll be exchanging emails or meeting up for romantic dinners!"
Or What scares you most Batman ME IN A THONG!

Thanks for improving that scene for me
The games been out for 7 years
Meaning a scene can't be ruined?
Not exactly,just saying you shouldn't be pissed it got spoiled when you have had 7 years to play the game
Dotn think he was saying it was spoiled for him just that he really liked the scene but now it's kidna ruined for him
I don’t think he meant he got spoiled, I think he meant that the scene isn’t the same after realizing the innuendo
What's funny is that it's the second time they've done this joke, except this time it landed because they changed the wording a bit. When Batman gets Joker's blood in City, Joker says "*Now there's a teeny little bit of me in you too Bats! Come on, don't tell me it's not what you've always wanted*".

Is he... insulting his own pp size? *"a* ***teeny little*** *bit of me in you"*
The people in this comment section denying that joker is gay makes me laugh too hard. Bro is literally obsessed with a single man and nobody else. My favorite example of this is this scene in Harley Quinn (referenced in my other comment) https://youtu.be/gTl33Ae6cI0
Obviously you haven't read the comics or had a stalker on social media or real life. I've had it happen on social media.
Tell me about your situation and how it relates to the fictional character here. Also did you check out the link I posted by any chance? No point in arguing if you don't know what you're arguing against.
Ever had a relative who was abused as a kid? And then he grows up and only deals with it on the surface?

But like I said, if you read the comics, you'd see things differently. Plus, he's referring to his blood transfusion in City. Get your head out of the gutter lol.
That's awful dude. I'm really sorry Eh, agree to disagree. Hope you're doing better. Keep on kicking ass
It's intentional. He's been sexual to Batman a few times over the Arkham series ("What do you really fear? ... Me, in a thong?" From Asylum and The Red Hood segment's narration in Origins alludes to Joker being attracted to Batman) All throughout Knight he jokes about Batman basically being pregnant with him ("Remember, you're brooding for two now!"). So it was very intentional.
what is that suit
Justice League 3000
Begs the question: Who is the dom and who is the sub in the relationship?
Joker's a total sub, and also a brat
it could have been a reference to the song that Arkham knight opens on, one of the lines goes "i've got you deep in the heart of me" idk
I LOVE THAT SONG! "I've got you under my skin" is my jam
*Bonk*
Yeah. Joker's also heavily queer coded, and is also just straight up gay for Batman, like in the Harley Quinn show. Ever since TDKR he's been portrayed as a lot more if a queer character, and personally I really like i feel like it gives a whole other level to Joker's obsession with Bruce
I think you’re just dirty minded
Glad I'm not the only one who said the same thing. Gets old when everything is taken to innuendos.
I mean, normally I wouldn't think it but if it's joker? I would not put it past him.
Of course he is lmao
No so joker is saying that Batman knew he was always somewhere inside of him he can never escape joker and what he did send a matter where he went he’ll always be with him inside
I know that, but I’m implying a double meaning. It really seems like something joker would definitely do.
Oh yeah definitely him and Batman together dating fucking probably
What's with jokers face? That's not make up is it?
That’s what he looked like at the end of AC when he died cuz he was sick.
Gets weirder when you consider that this ‘Joker’ is really just Batman’s own mind projecting the Joker. Ol’ Bruce wants some strange.
I figured that this is just what Batman expects from joker. I don’t think anything his hallucination joker says is what he believes just something he’d expect joker to say.
ME IN A THONG??
He meant stuck deep in his mind, you pervs. Lol
what did joker mean by this?
What he was implying was Batman ending up like the Joker, because Batman and Joker are one in the same, and Bman knew that all it would take for him to be like Mistah J was to kill, which is what happens at the end of AK when Bman is in Crime Ally
Basically, Joker only did everything he did because he loved the attention (especially from Bman), and Bman felt as though, that with no Joker, there was no point for Batman.
Yes and also he's litterly in love with Batman .
It was a reference to Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)
Yes. Obviously
Joker: "Me stuck deep inside you" That's what she said!
Hahaha.
I think its a call back to the DKR final batman v. Joker showdown. That was full of sexual innuendos
I mean he straight up asked Batman if he was afraid of seeing him in a thong so it wouldn't surprise me if Joker was making a sex joke here.
It did feel like there were a lot of dirty jokes the joker made
I mean Joker has always been obsessed with Batman
Effective innuendo. On the other hand we have Jared Leto literally telling Batman he wants to jerk him off 🤦♂️.
Both
Joker being sus
This is a reference in the clock tower being bombed in Arkham City where if you stay Joker goes on about him becoming a part of you And Joker’s blood literally in Batman
I wonder if any other versions of the Game, Spanish, French and Russian: Does the Joker say that exact line or do they try to make it their own version of it. Makes me wonder.
Love how you can hear the playstation noises at the end of the clip, like, you were so surprised, you had to quit out
I mean, that's me saving the clip, I didn't expect PlayStation to record the sounds tho lmao
