I freaking love this issue so freaking much. The whole concept of Batman Europa is absolutely amazing. It's fun. It's worth the read. Lets just point out that Batman has called the Joker his partner at the very beginning of Batman Europa #2 which leads me back to what I was saying in the relationship between Batman and Joker, that Batman always acknowledge that they're partners. Moreover Batman tries to pick a fight with the Joker while he's just talking to him. I mean give the man a break. He's not even trying to hurt Batman in this comic. He's behaving himself reasonably well, although we can't ignore the reality of Batman allowing the Joker to prefer himself as Batman's sidekick too.

Now when he grasps the Joker's arm. We know it's not a firm grip. The Joker easily jerk his arm back, and then Batman reaches over to grab for his hand possibly again? Though he doesn't get to say anything else, because Nina interrupts them. I do feel like Batman needs to feel like their some Kind of contempt between the two of them, or a little disputing to feel like it's their usually pattern. It's their dance. He doesn't like to see this side of the Joker, and especially have to acknowledge it. The way the Joker keep informing to Bruce that they'll die together, and Batman doesn't even want to hear that. It got me laughing so much.

Batman complimenting how fast the Joker is in this panel is just life. If that clown can move that fast you know he could have killed Batman, and he's infected too.

Now the Joker just murder someone again, and Batman still works with him after this! And on top of that Batman trusts him? Like how???

Batman doesn't even sound mad that the Joker just murdered someone? I mean he's actually just like yeah, let's finish up this journey. He doesn't even mention it later in the comic.

Batman thought he was going to die, but the Joker saves his life, and he doesn't exactly want to acknowledge it, but he does anyways.

I just love this page. The Joker eyes are to the side, like he's not exactly sure how to function right now. He doesn't know how to fit this into their relationship. I mean I love it. The awkwardness that's establish between both of them is so obvious. I can't stress enough of how much I admire this page. The way Batman doesn't even want to look at the Joker. Oh my god the way the Joker refuse to look at the Batman for a little while. The tension is thick. Batman's 'shut up' line is practically for the Joker when he says something true or something plain stupid. Batman constantly says shut up when the Joker says things about Batman caring about him, but the Joker tells Batman he loves him all the time, and Batman doesn't say shut up. I don't want to hear that, but Batman denies his own feelings towards him, so Batman despises the mention of him caring about the Joker. He tries to shut it down rather quickly. Batman and Joker feel the need to lay out some sort hostility, when they're not doing their usual routine, so the Joker tells Batman he regrets saving him. He's not happy about it. That makes the tension between them settle down a bit, but right after this the Joker saves Batman once again in Batman Europa #3 The Joker also immediately jumps back to Nina, to avert the attention somewhere else, which works.

Batman still isn't exactly ready to look at the Joker, but the Joker goes over to have a conversation with Batman. Batman responds hostile as always, but Batman doesn't deny the Joker request exactly. He just reminds the Joker that they're dying, and the way the Joker gently and cautiously rests his hand on Batman's shoulder, making sure he's alright with him touching him right now is adorable and actually is nice.

The fact that the Joker has to turn around to say those sweet words to the Batman. Let's me know they're not too familiar with this kind of thing.

Batman now is comfortable enough to let the Joker freely touch him again. Batman doesn't deny it. He also doesn't inform to the Joker that they will never be friends, because deep down Batman knows that the Joker is his friend. It's just my opinion.

i would like to thank you for tuning me into batjokes, i saw your posts about them and was like 'oh wow this is crazy i need to know more' and have since fallen into the rabbit hole. i'm honestly surprised it's not a more popular ship on here because those two truly can do it all. comedy, tragedy, high drama, romance, obsession...they have the range!!

sdfjlsdjfçsldfj can't believe i've converted you 😭✨ It really is everything everyone talks about when they talk about the enemies to lovers trope, to the point it's even hard to believe it's real, you mean they published this???

you mean they made their relationship the central conflict in lego batman?

this is real??

this??

batman agrees to go on a date with joker to save day is a real plot??

"YOU NEEDN'T BE ALONE" IN THE KILLING JOKE?? 'even Lex luthor himself can't kill the joker cause batman would go after him' is a real thing? "you're in love with him" "yeah lol" ??, "You loved him"??, the "please die with me" thing?, Bane saying "you needed to know you can't live without joker" and the whole of batman europa is real?, raising baby superman with joker's head in a robot robin suit is a real thing? all of snyder and capullo's run? batman's mom and dad become batman and joker in another universe and i'm not supposed to think anything about the fact that they are married in another universe?? JOKER BECOMES DEPRESSED WHEN BATMAN AND CATWOMAN'S WEDDING IS ANNOUNCED IS A REAL PLOT I'm losing my mind they really have it all.

also fellas, is it gay to die in your enemy's arms, to be buried together in an eternal embrace, your hands eternally reaching for each other's face, your relationship eternalized as the pompeii lovers of gotham?

#batjokes #Anonymous #oh to be limited by the ten image max #there's more but i'm containing myself #to answer ur question tho #I think it's probably because most people don't read the comics and the joker has become a 'dude bro' icon thanks to the live action movies #since everyone seems to love lego joker and he's also just the joker

Pagan? Satanist? Clown!

I think the Joker might actually be pagan or a Satanist? Either way, He definitely worships Baphomet. Joker is a leader of a cult in France called “The Circus of Clowns” as seen in Europa.

In Penguin Pain and Prejudice #2 Joker is caught doing a strange ritual with a taxidermied goat (which is hilarious), in 1997 Batman 544-546 Joker is shown messing up a demon summoning ritual and reading the Necromicon.

The Joker did sell his soul to the demon Neron in 1995 “Underworld Unleashed” for a box of Cuban cigars. Oddly he also sold his soul previously in 1975 Joker #10 to the actual devil who was dressed like Elton John for some reason. In Suicide Squad one of the Joker’s thugs that breaks him out of Arkham is wearing a priest uniform with a Goat Head which is a representation of Baphomet.

In Batman #90-91 2020 the Joker meets the Designer (Who is supposedly the Devil) and reveals that he wants to become the Devil himself. In the background of his cell in a lot of comics he has pentagrams and devil graffiti on his walls. In Legends of the Dark Knight #163 Joker is shown sleeping with a stitched up devil plushie.

In Batman Confidential “Of Lovers and Madmen” the pre-Joker and his minions all wear red painted bull mask which is also a representation of Satan. In Arkham Asylum ASHOASE many references are made to the occult and paganism by the Joker and others. In one of “the Man Who Stopped Laughing”#5 in Joker’s side comic, Joker is shown reading a book bound in human flesh called “the Maleficium”, which is apparently DC’s version of the Necrocomicon (a fictional occult book by HP Lovecraft). In Batman Black Mirror the Joker talks about how Gotham means goat and, how Joker himself is the goat which once again makes references to Baphomet and, Joker thinking he himself is the devil.

I honestly want DC to build more on the fact Joker has a cult instead of just showing snippets, I would actually like to see a story based on Joker’s Cult. It would be interesting to see the inner works of a cult and how the followers got involved, instead of the 3 Jokers dreck they’re still trying to get people interested in. (We don’t want 3 Joker’s DC!! How many times do we have to tell you!! It’s been 2 series now!!)

I ❤️ ur Joker so much can I hear ur hcs for her? 😼 also maybe some batjokes hcs sprinkled in there heh

this FANTASTIC ask has been rotting in my inbox for months so here’s my current wealth of joker hcs. written on paper. in unintelligible handwriting

im sooo normal and regular about her <3 (transcript below cut)

thinking soo hard about my au joker. he's consuming my every waking thought! he lives in my brain!

soo I talked about her a little already but he's intersex and uses he/she pronouns :) his gender doesn't really exist she just does what she wants (whatever's funniest)

anyways she looks predominantly physically male - flat-chested, long-limbed, laryngeal prominence, etc. - but his hormone balance isn't super testosterone-heavy. like she can't grow bodily or facial hair (he does have eyebrows/eyelashes and a full head of hair though) and i believe he has a set of ovaries (but he can't get pregnant lol. he's sterile and doesn't have a vagina so they're kind of just in there)

other biological quirks include faster cell growth - like wounds heal faster and hair + nail growth is sped up - she also has a VERY strong immune system and rarely ever gets sick, has weird reactions to fear toxin + ivy's pheromones (+ a lot of prescription drugs and medical anaesthetics don't really work on him), she has a ridiculously high pain tolerance but feels it really acutely (he can just deal with a lot of it), has a lot of chronic nerve pain like a constant crackling surface pain (stolen from that one LKOE dracze fic) and part of her masochistic streak relates to the fact that strong pain breaks up the nerve pain (that and marginally faulty wiring), and she for some reason has reflective retinas like an animal! which is real spooky

her bleached skin is really thin + pale and you can see a lot of veins under it so he looks like a deep sea creature → she's also incredibly emaciated and looks real skeletal - his body mass is super low + it's kind of a medical mystery that he doesn't have some kind of fatigue disorder. I think it's something to do with how his body processes and stores nutrients. idk

before her first outing as 'the joker', he used to stalk bruce around the city when he was on patrol. she did this for maybe a year, and bruce would sometimes see him stood in alleys, perched on rooftops, watching him. bruce spotted her maybe a total of 12-15 times, and kind of doubted that he wasn't just hallucinating; it would've been an eerie image - a figure, ghostly white, skeletal, dressed in a hospital gown + sporting dead eyes and a head of long, straggly green hair - and bruce had only been on the job for about 2 years so he wasn't quite as paranoid yet. when joker first came to prevalence that's when bruce realised it was her :) idk i just want him to haunt bruce in a way that he can't shake similarly to the memory of her fall at ACE

also! some details from canon that I'd like to insert: ↓

- the birthday gifts thing: I really liked that idea and think it's a very joker thing to do - she also celebrates anniversaries (eg. their first fight, bruce's first outing as batman, joker's first major crime, the incident at ACE, etc.) he's sentimental :) - his affection for crossdressing (it isn't really crossdressing in this context but. whatever the instances of it are canon) i think it's neat idk i like seeing her visibly gnc - I wanna keep the wide shapes of a lot of storylines like europa + snyder's stuff (the bench universe, dotf and endgame, etc.) + devil's advocate + joker's apprentice + maybe chunks of deadly duo + broken city + other things - might contain (while credited) some stuff from fit as well bc i'm a total loser ← currently writing fic (like two step and you're by excuse to travel by synthwave + maybe sucker for pain by transformatron + green the colour of greed by distortopia + something these angels wear and with my toes on the edge by cultivation + chunks from other stuff) idk it's kind of difficult to ascertain the speed at which i want their relationship to escalate. we'll see! i definitely want something to have happened during europa (and I'm treating that dracze fic set in the bench universe as canon) but like. they might just be trapped in perpetual hell like in the comics. thanks bruce's morality - i also want to note that in this au literally most everything else is the same as in canon. I'm gonna be drawn to include my headcanons for all the characters and whatever but the batfamily is still constructed the same + jace still dies and babs is still paralysed + the JL is still established + at its core it's still the same thing :) while i'm here i want say though that it's likely i'll take the telltale route with bruce's parents having mob ties because i think that throws a fun moral wrench in the works for him to deal with - much of my interpretation of the joker is based on a grant morrison's interpretation of him. morrison is such a majorly influential writer for me and their description of joker in the arkham asylum cut script notes was tbh my major inspiration for this version of joker :) like that thing they said: "pale and emaciated, he should look simply grotesque but standing there, hand on thrust-out hip, he projects an absolute confidence that confers upon him a bizarre kind of attractiveness and sexuality. it is the attraction of the perverse and the forbidden." - btw. i wanna make a point to include matches malone in my canon. bruce actively uses the matches persona :)

i wanted to detail her weird physical appearance mostly for the sake of the image of him in Arkham; no makeup, no costume, no way for her to dress himself up. he struggles a lot with her image + not feeling attractive or desirable (very 'if i gave up on being pretty i wouldn't know how to be alive') and arkham makes him very unstable because he has no way of controlling the way he's seen

he also has a prosthetic eye like in the comics :) i'd like to think she lost her eye in an altercation with bruce and it helps tie bruce's morality to the joker - whenever bruce sees him, it reminds him of how much harm he causes. lol! i LOVE torturing bruce he's such an interesting character giggles :)

btw for the record i'd also like to state that i consider bruce and joker's relationship to be inherently sadomasochistic in nature. considering joker's canonically a masochist and gets off on what bruce does to him + bruce recognises this and continues to pursue her just the same. they're SO interesting to me

i also believe the thing from the comics about joker's worldview; that she believes he and batman are the only real people in the whole universe. i think it provides such an interesting perspective on his actions - (in that context) he crucially doesn't see the people he kills as people, but rather like. tools. symbols. i think it really communicates the central conflict of his character idk i think it's interesting

on a less deep note, he has a thing for clothing and makeup. she has HEAPS of it stored in warehouses + stuff. he's really good at concealing her safehouses so a lot of it goes undiscovered. he gets his foundation from japanese theatre companies bc they're the only places that do it light enough lol. also important to note that he wears garters + sock suspenders + shirt stays + corseting + structured undergarments + heels + super complex layers of clothing. he prides herself on the craft of it :)

she really takes pride in her performance + the way she's seen - her whole life, his whole career is one big performance. there's very little underneath 'the joker'. he doesn't know who she is, he has no life before bruce, no name, no identity, nothing outside of her fixation on the batman. he was ther at ACE that night (she believes he is - or at least his negligence is - what made her) and joker really clings to batman as a point of stability and focus because, unlike bruce, he has nothing outside of his persona. the batman is bruce wayne (shocker) - he has a life, people he loves - but joker has nothing. that's part of the reason joker's so desperate to ignore that bruce has a 'real identity' and is so defensive of people discovering it; as well as meaning the destruction of batman, it would also remove joker of her ability to deny that there is a person behind batman. he wants so badly to believe that this is all bruce has - that HE is all bruce has - just as is true for him. beneath it all, she just wants to be loved. she just wants to not be alone.

sigh! that was a lot! i don't wanna make him just a deep, dark, brooding character that's BORING that's bruce's job lol. loser. anyways she can be silly too he has whimsy in her soul as well :) i believe soo intensely in DC's ability to be a silly universe because it's inherently so stupid as a concept so to me silly guy joker is real <3 they can have fun

joker getting roped in on justice league stuff is soo personal to me let her be helpful let him make fun of the JL and their stupid missions :)

btw. for future reference he is in no way attracted to women (sorry yuri joker) his relationship with harley (+ MAYBE punchline. strong maybe. only as his protégé) is PURELY manipulative and joker NEVER thought of or treated her sexually or romantically. there's still gonna be animosity there though lol because he still abused and manipulated harley and she still thought joker loved her, but the fact remains that he isn't even vaguely attracted to women so! idc punchline likers so somewhere else lol

another thing from canon (devil's advocate) i'd like to steal is the fact that joker sleeps with his henchmen :) it's real to me

she has a lot of silly pseudo-crushes on a lot of other characters (like lex luthor + bane + lobo + killer croc + superman + what have you. he's a slut what can i say) but none of them will EVER be bats! they know their place and it's NOT in murder-suicide love with her

kicks feet idk i have so many thoughts about joker even though i feel so cringe writing them down. idgaf this is important work

#anyways. im the normallest girl in the world #and so is she! (the joker)#hcs #also transcript isn’t finished so! don’t press read more yet or you’ll be greeted with only 4 pages worth of text #og

Can you recommend me comics where the Joker is really funny in them. Please and thank you.

I found him funny in the following:

Batman: Last knight on earth Funky little head in a jar.

Batman: Europa Batman and Joker have to work together

The Joker Presents a Puzzlebox With the tale from joker's perspective all the funny moments are his

I also like him in Joker War but no moments stand out. Harleen has some joker moments that crack me up but that's not really what the comics focus is on.

I hope other people add on to this. Theres more but I'm struggling to remember comic titles.

HEY hi :) Yknow how u got into iz bc of me well i have to tell u ive started watching batman the animated series bc of u and its fun i like it!

and if u dont mind i wanted to ask what other batman media would you recommend bc i really dont know where else to start after that bc theres... a lot of stuff,,, like whats the good stuff in ur opinion 😊

Hi Bee!! Sorry I’m late to this one! I’ve been so busy this past week and had no motivation to write

There’s a loooooot of Batman media out there for about every demographic, so recommendations can go on for a looong time. Speaking of, anybody can reblog this with more recommendations! I can’t cover everything myself haha.

But yeah! If you’re thinking about reading comics, (or more specifically a comic run to start) I would recommend reading Scott Snyder’s run! I think that’s a pretty good start. There’s a lot of Joker in there, but to me it was always fun when he had appeared. I specifically really loved Death of the Family. I think I read that arc so many times the pages might fall apart. But I think this run right here is a good starting point.

I also recommend reading Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, The Man Who Laughs, and Batman: Europa. And probably some things I can’t think of right now. But shh.

ALSO. I highly recommend watching Batman: The Audio Adventures!! It’s my favorite piece of modern Batman media as of now. It’s so atmospheric and fun. I really think it also gives a lot of the rogues good screen time and I enjoyed all of it. There’s two seasons on HBO and Spotify or wherever else you can find it! Again, highly recommend it.

This definitely wasn’t structured well or a list even, but I hope these sound appealing! Again, anyone can reblog with recommendations! There might be some things I haven’t thought about until later lol.

I hope you’re doing well, Bee!! Sending you a happy mutual hug :,)

#ask #I feel sooo bad I got this out late #sorry work killed me ahdvabsbhahahahaha #annnnywaysssss #batman #not really sure if you’re a comic person or (if you are) how you read them so I recommend stuff I know for a fact have trade versions #but yeah!!! glad you’re enjoying btas!

going through the batmanverse archives after awhile and— we really need to talk about the way Batman and Joker fight.

There's a form to fighting for offence and defence, your body movements are focused on delivering pain and/or protecting yourself from pain. This involves a sequence of specific positionings and physical orientation, none of which Batman delivers right when it comes to Joker.

It's a bit on the nose at this point to talk about Joker's fighting style when it comes to Batman, what with his knife and the intimate proximity that fighting style creates and all—

But Batman? Batman literally hits like sex. He punches joker's face like he's trying to get past skin and bone and get into his mouth, he fights Joker like he wants to make a dent in him and tear into him, get in him. it's fascinating how in Batmanverse Batman's fights with Joker are a lot like intercourse; upclose and unbearably personal, he's not trying to hurt him as much as he's pushing to get closer and closer to him. He doesn't hit to break through, he hits to break in. And he doesn't get satisfied until he draws blood, what is *in* must come out; he wants to draw the inside out, to see the affect of how he drives Joker over the edge. cum symbolism ensues this brings me to another curious point:

traditionally in the percieved absence of female ejaculation and visible signs of orgasm and conclusion, for a very long time men have been obsessed with making a woman bleed from intercourse. At different points in Batman comics writers have assigned a lot of feminine qualities to Joker, sometimes a bit more than usual, sometimes a bit less, but it's been there consistently through most of his portrayals, so when plotpoints like these

ensue, you start to wonder what is happening here exactly. Very curious indeed.

#*absolutely noone is surprised by the conclusion of this meta*#i think i wrote this meta 4 different times and i'm sure there are more apeshit panels out there #that unintentionally or intentionally drive the point home but like #the blood=cum parallel imageries in the Batjokes-y panels are driving me nuts #it's such consistent symbol throughout the comics by now #but also i'm rereading Batman Europa and uhh. uhhhh #Batjokes #Batjokes meta #Batman #Batman meta #dc joker #Joker meta

Why are you skeptical of the deadly duos comic?

I was pretty excited at first. A Batman/Joker team-up! So much potential! Europa redux? LKOE-ish shenanigans?

But this is how DC is selling Deadly Duo:

So the implication that Joker's focus will be on getting Harley back puts a little damper on my expectations. Also the characterization of Joker wanting to rescue Harley, which is atypical and makes me concerned about how he'll be written. And the apparent reversion to jarley was just unexpected since she's been largely separated from Joker for ages now (with a notable exception in White Knight).

But hey, jarley and batjokes have always coexisted. Plus it's not like DC's descriptions of comics are always accurate, so for all I know Joker isn't searching for Harley in a romantic sense, but because she has something he needs in one way or another. Or maybe he orchestrated the plot shenanigans as a way to get close to Batman. Maybe Harley has a bigger part than the damsel and she's the one behind the whole thing somehow.

I haven't read anything by Silvestri that I'm aware of, and I was hoping maybe his quote would be more illuminating:

Uh, I guess that's better than stuff not happening?

Anyway, I've been let down by what sounded like neat ideas before (eg, Three Jokers), and you know how it is. It's easier to lower your expectations and let yourself be surprised when things go better than you thought.

But I also try not to get too down about it. It's better to put more of my energy into writing what I'd like to see. It may not be official, but at least then it's out there!

Batman Europa #3 lemme just inform everyone that i did not feel like making this one, and It's only because I have to do two parts to Batman Europa #3. there's so many wonderful moments in this issue. It'd be illegal for me not to show all of them. Alright let's talk about the first cutout panel from Batman Europa'#3 I would like to elaborate on Batman's patience here. I've already said this before, however Batman has so much patience with the Joker. He literally just sighs and ask the Joker can he stop his babbling. Batman here is obviously just trying to start a fight. He's once again grabbing the Joker recklessly. Batman you can just ask him you know? Plus he already mention he told you, so this just let's me know you want to argue a little, or even chat a little, but I do think he's also making sure the Joker isn't setting him up. The Joker telling Batman is hypocritical question is so funny to me, and Batman responds with 'heh that's funny' I swear theses two are so married. Batman doesn't tell the Joker to shut up until he talks about them murdering each other. I wonder why? What I really wanted to point out that the Joker listens to the Batman and be quiet for a whole hour? I'm in awe to be honest. The fact that Batman is complimenting the Joker again, and chucking too. It gives me life. Batman is so free around him.

Batman's over here thinking. 'What heart?' Nah, I'm just joking around. I have no doubt that he's just flabbergasted by the Joker right now. He is finding out something new about him, and he's just surprise by it, but I love how his mouth slightly hangs open in befuddle way, like is this really happening too.

I can't entirely believe that Batman just stands by, watching the Joker. He so fascinated with this man!!! Batman also refers to the Joker as his closet enemy. What he really meant is his closest friend. It's in disguise. I'm telling you. I mean but why did he choose those words though? He could've have said my greatest enemy. Bruce please stop playing with us here.

Like Bruce are you saying that the Joker has charm? I actually love this page, because Batman's aware of the Joker's charm. The Joker doesn't need to look amazing in appearance. What makes up for his appearance is his charm itself. It's why Batman can be so intrigue by the Joker, and find him attractive. Batman also wanted to know how it feels to be the Joker, and again Batman's kind of complimenting the Joker here.

I just can't with Batman always trying to start a fight here. The Joker refuses to fight with the Batman while they're working together, but Batman continue to try to go back with the usually routine. Let's fight a little. Batman looks like he misses it more than the Joker here to be honest, but here's a theory. I believe Batman desires the touches from the Joker. He's not fighting with him, which involves a lot of touching. This is Batman way of getting that from the Joker, without making it obvious, and the reason I believe this is because after the Joker's touches Batman arm to call him down He relaxes and doesn't seem the littlest mad to be honest. Batman also grabs the Joker constantly, and even chokes him throughout the comic run. The Joker on the other hand isn't trying to fight with Batman, because he feels free touching Batman whatever way he pleases. Batman's the one who has to stop him. I mean Batman can clearly see no one's laughing. The Joker isn't laughing neither. Batman just find a reason to grab the Joker. He waits for the Joker to say anything about him to attack, that's the only way to touch him without him feeling wrong about it. Now this is just a theory. It definitely might not be true, or maybe it's something I deeply want. Lmao

And the way Batman willingly let's the Joker push him away says a whole lot, and not Bruce raising his hand to ask a question. Oh my god! I'm dying. The Joker just over here like 'bats shut up' and Batman is raising his hand like can I ask something. I can't even think of another villain Batman has done this with? It's so funny to me. I just love, love how the Joker speaks to Batman like he's a child, and Bruce takes it. It's just my opinion.

Petr: You’re shaming all the goalkeepers in the world!!!!

The Ox: The goalies wouldn’t come outside wearing their gloves for days

Laca: The boss won’t like this, Pierre
