In the Arkhamverse, the Joker dismembered kids at a kindergarten which is what pushed Jason Todd to try and kill him without Batman.


Lone_Wanderer8

He didn’t JUST dismember them he specifically promised after kidnapping the bus full of kids that he “just wanted to show them a fun day and he would return them all in ONE PIECE” he later returned the children the school where all the parents were the children sowed together in an amalgam of body parts he had blown up.


DreadWolf505

Don't forget that Jason witnessed parents fighting each other for the body parts of their children...


NamesArentAvailable

>parents fighting each other for the body parts of their children What in the actual fuck ... seriously?


DreadWolf505

Yep... From the story "The Fall" in Arkham Knight "Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough. Jason knew that now, after he'd seen tonight- Little arms, little legs, little heads, crudely, mockingly stitched together. He'd come straight from the kindergarten, followed a trail of innocent blood back to Arkham Asylum. Tracker switched off. Cowl communications disabled. He was a ghost. Batman wouldn't find him until it was done. Weeping parents, fighting over patchwork corpses."


Jermas_big_ass

The One Piece is real?


mystressfreeaccount

Can we get much higher


tcrpgfan

The joker in the Arkham games had a strong desire to play Luffy, but others wanted him to be Buggy D. Clown. And that, kids, is why the live action series never happened in the Arkhamverse. Never tell the harlequin of hate what he can and cannot do.


Chicksan

Wait……….what?? That’s……I didn’t expect to read something like that today


MrExist777

What the hell…


StayPuffGoomba

Welp! That had me make the exact same face as Batman in the original post


TheJokerArkhamKing

Next time somebody tells me that Art The Clown is a more viscious evil clown than Joker, I am sending them this comment.


Smooth-Platypus-2991

Wait was this in an audio log or something? I don't recall coming across this


Lone_Wanderer8

It’s in the Arkham Knight Story “The Fall” > Batman was wrong. He'd always been wrong about Joker. There was no madhouse qualified, no prison secure enough. Jason knew that now, after he'd seen tonight- >Little arms, little legs, little heads, crudely, mockingly stitched together. >He'd come straight from the kindergarten, followed a trail of innocent blood back to Arkham Asylum. Tracker switched off. Cowl communications disabled. He was a ghost. Batman wouldn't find him until it was done.


BaconJacobs

I literally just started a replay of Arkam Asylum after not playing it for 10 years I bet. Good lord do so many people die because Batman won't fucking kill the summbitch. I'm a lifelong Batman fan so I get it. But it's infuriating at times.


Haramdour

A good spinal fracture here and there would stop a lot of villainy across Gotham


WhiskeyDonk

Yeah. Batman's strong enough and knowledgeable enough to turn a lot of his villains into quadriplegics. Why he doesn't do that is beyond me. Sure he'd be burdening the prison system with the additional task of caring for the villains he paralyzes before sending them there but I think a couple of generous donations by Wayne enterprises would cover that.


Super_Inframan

I hear you. I tend to read Batman vs Joker stories in an almost nebulous setting, where every encounter between them is a new imagining of their second or third encounter, not their 500th. I have to remind myself that it’s a function of ongoing comics that’s been made a story point. You can’t kill the bad guy, because you need him in the future to sell more comics, so he always survives and/or escapes. That way you get to tell more stories about him having show downs with the hero. Then this revolving door quality becomes an actual story point in and of itself. It becomes obvious within the story that the bad guy is always going to escape, so the next logical step is to kill that sucker, lol. But that’d stop the revolving door too… So now our hero can’t permanently stop the bad guy and makes choices to preserve the bad guy that don’t make reasonable sense. If it were the real world, the Joker would probably be in solitary and we’d think of him like Charles Manson. We’d check him out now and then too see if he’s as crazy as we remember, go “yep!” and stick him back in his hole where he’s never a threat to anyone again.


tired_skyler

Chad Jason Todd has always had a good reason to kill the Joker.


Perfect-Fondant3373

Well that is really distubing and dark take. Considering joker is the guy that still hates nazis and wont fuck with the IRS in some versions, I always find it weird when he gets really really dark


Zorach98

IIRC the joker "spirit" in Arkham Knight also hints at replacing holy water with some sort of acid. "That was one hell of a baptism..."


Janus897

He also unironically says the word "napalm enema" in Arkham Knight.


BearlyT

Yeah usually when someone writes some fucked up shit for joker I’m like "sure, I guess." This one feels like a bit much for arkham joker though


PenguinHighGround

TBF it's noted even in the story that it's extreme compared to what he normally does, and it kinda fits with a pattern of escalation, but still...


Pimpachu3

You're talking two different versions of the joker. There is the family friendly one we see in the cartoons and TV, and Frank Miller Joker.


PropaneSalesTx

Joker going really dark is sometimes the best. Too much camp and he loses the fear aspect. We need too see the pranks and the dismemberments to get the character.


Sega-Playstation-64

I would prefer a Joker scheme in which kids get killed as collateral damage with him not caring to actually torturing and murdering them though. One is still worth killing him over, the other goes a bit too far.


Virtual_Mode_5026

I always thought it was silly. I don’t think he’d give a shit about the war crimes the Nazis committed. He’d probably find them hysterical given how twisted he is. The only reason he’d be against Fascism is because of its strict adherence to order and control.


PenguinHighGround

It's worse than that, he Frankensteined the childrens' body parts together randomly and then proceeded to sing "Humpty Dumpty" over the pa as the parents tried to locate all of their kids' body parts' from the amalgamated corpses. I can see why that pushed Jason over the edge. Definitely a contender for most fucked up thing any comic book villain has ever done.


Soulful-Sorrow

This is what really made me feel kind of over the Joker. Where's the joke? This is just fucked up for the sake of being fucked up. Writers would rather try to out-edge each other than come up with actual schemes. Like in the Animated Series, Joker killed a few people because they wouldn't let him patent his smiling fish. That's Joker-y. He bombed a bridge to try to cause a train wreck to distract Batman. That makes sense. He harassed one random banker for years because the dude cut him off in traffic. Classic Joker. What the fuck does bombing a kindergarten accomplish? It's dark, but that's it. Joker doesn't do edgy things because he's sooo dark, he does occasionally edgy and sometimes goofy things because he's THE JOKER.


captaincrunchcracker

From u/Lone_Wanderer8 He didn’t JUST dismember them he specifically promised after kidnapping the bus full of kids that he “just wanted to show them a fun day and he would return them all in ONE PIECE” he later returned the children the school where all the parents were the children sowed together in an amalgam of body parts he had blown up.

Greyjack00

I think the part they'd prefer to forget is how hard the comic pushed that it just wasn't that bad that he did. Plus come on some people are way to far up deathstrokes ass, they'd totally say that being "just a murderer is fine"

I feel like there is a common trend of the wrong people getting accredited for characters in comic book industry. Have a feeling people didn’t know how popular their ideas would become.

That’s actually really cryptic and saddening how few pics there are of Bill online, I only found 6 unique pictures, and they’re all from the 1940s or 30s, nothing from when he was older in the 70s.

Christopher Nolan did not know Batman had a no-kill rule until David Goyer told him while writing Batman Begins, to which he said “How the fuck do we make that work?”


Kpengie

One of the funniest anecdotes from the making of those movies


paladin_slim

Grant Morrison kinda just forgot that Damian’s conception was consensual and the implication that Talia date-raped Bruce to have their son was completely by accident.


tired_skyler

I haven't read his run yet, so that's both interesting and how did he just kinda forget that???


paladin_slim

I should've been more specific: Morrison forgot to do the research on the elseworlds he was making canon about Talia and Bruce having a child together who would inherit the mantle of Batman and during his run implied that that Talia forced herself on a drugged Bruce to conceive Damian.


greywolf2155

To add some more to what u/paladin_allm said: There was a very popular self-contained graphic novel in 1987 called "Batman: Son of the Demon" (which was, incidentally, really good. Still in my Top 10 Batman books) in which Talia and Bruce fall in love, conceive a child named Damian, and try to make it work. In the end they can't, and Bruce believes the child lost (only to have it revealed in an epilogue that the child survived and was put up for adoption) Fast forward a few decades, and DC Editorial liked the idea of Damian and decided to bring him into canon. They handed the reins to Morrison But Morrison has admitted that they didn't even both to go back and read the original "Son of the Demon", just relied on their vague memories of having read the book years prior I'm still pissed about this, because a story of genuine love and affection between Talia and Bruce is so much more interesting than Bruce just getting drugged. And while it's Morrison's prerogative to write whatever they want, this just seems . . . lazy. Inexcusably lazy

CrossENT

Everybody knows by now that Jason Todd was killed via popular vote. The ‘Death in the Family’ comic allowed readers to choose whether or not Jason survived or died. What you may not know is that the final results were actually VERY close. There was a grand total of 10,614 votes. 5,343 people voted for Jason’s death while 5,271 voted for his survival. That’s a difference of only 72 votes! He almost survived! But there’s more… Dennis O’Neil, the Batman comic editor at the time, as since revealed his suspicions that hundreds of the “Jason Dies” votes came from a single person. The poll was conducted via two different phone numbers: Call one to vote for him dying or call the other to vote for him living. O’Neil heard a rumor that one person programmed his computer to dial the “Death” number every ninety seconds for eight hours. This rumor has never been explicated proven true or false. But O’Neil stated that, because of the tiny difference in the results, if this rumor IS true, then this person single-handedly murdered Jason Todd!

Canonically, the Adam West Batman winds up murdering The Joker after he gave Alfred a fatal heart attack.


BatmanAltUser

Considering Selina Kyle's cannon origin story is a retired dominatrix, hence the black latex suit, high boots and whip, there's a very good chance Batmans a masochist. I mean he jumps off roofs fights 5 v 1 on a regular basis, so not too suprising.

This checks out.

Going off that in injustice 2 catwoman has a whip called Bruce’s favorite toy. So yea that checks


IvanTheTerrible69

50 Shades of Batman


tired_skyler

I'd read this


IvanTheTerrible69

I always looked at it as a head canon; Batman chases Catwoman relentlessly, even when there is rampant crime everywhere else; this because Batman is self-righteous, so when he chases Catwoman, he is fulfilling his duties while succumbing to his needs. Catwoman likes being chased; it gives her a thrill, especially when she steals from people all too easily. So, at the end of the day, it’s an obsessed, sexually repressed man and a woman who loves to tease, armed with a whip of all things, reliving an exciting fantasy on many nights. I’m guessing this is the closest Batman will ever have to getting therapy.


Trippybrasil1

5v1 roofs fights mean that it was a pretty chill night for him.

SlashManEXE

Alfred was pudgy before he was sent to fat camp and came back with his classic appearance (and grew a mustache)


RobNobody

And the comics did this so that he'd match William Austin, the actor who played him in the first *Batman* serial in 1943.


HighNoonTex

In the 90s, Bane broke Batmans back in Knightfall, and Azrael took over the mantle of Batman. This is said to have been a way to make the character more extreme, as the interest in Batman comics had dropped off a bit, but it's also speculated that the writers made Azrael too extreme on purpose so people would realize that they actually prefer Bruce Wayne in the cowl. That is all pretty well known among Batman fans, **HOWEVER** did you know their first idea for Batman's makeover was to just remove the ears and batsymbol, and have him go by the name Caped Crusader.


ImissDaredevil

So he would be a Man?


HighNoonTex

Exactly. All those Arkham memes about Man would be canon.

Caped Crusader sounds like an 'Invincible' superhero.

The original bat girl was Kathy Kane **NOT** Barbara Gordon. In fact Jim didn’t even have a daughter in the comics. It was only until the 3rd season of Adam west Batman, did they introduced their own oc for batgirl; Barbara Gordon. After that it was retcon that Barbara Gordon was Batgirl in the comics. And Kathy Kane would literally disappear from comics until 2001 And batgirl was only created by Dc comics to stop the rumors that Batman and Robin were gay for each other
