Hello Everyone,
The Joker has been considered by many to be the pinnacle villain of DC comics. Especially certain fans around here. Appearing in over many film adaptions and comics he is truly one of the most popular villains to date. In my opinion should he be considered as a villain? Alright here is a rundown of The Joker's usual stuff, do something really crazy and have a goal at the end while doing something crazy. Then get your ass kicked by Batman or some other character. He is not really threatening at all. I wouldn't even consider him as a menace or a threat. He is one of the most laughable villains that has ever been created. There is not one time where I can even take this character seriously at all. For goodness sake a villain wearing clown make up, psychopaths don't run around wearing clown make up. Knowing from professional experience myself I have officially obtained . This has to be one of his most ridiculous traits. Even in the comic The Killing Joke what was that about. Joker kills some people and he is crazy, he does some more stuff. What else do we know about this character. He is the Lex Luther of Batman. I've just seen to much of this character. You know who is a better psychopath than The Joker you can actually take seriously, Hannibal Lector. Watch the brilliant 80s film Manhunter and you see a true genius in the works other than this goofball DC Comics has conjured up. Patrick Bateman being shown in one movie alone has more formula than all the adaptions of The Joker over the years. Who is The Joker other than he is some on going maniac. What else is there to need know about him. He is just some dude that does insane stuff why is he so popular I don't get it at all. Why do people worship this psychopath more than real life psychopaths being displayed on the news who have even more realistic goals than him. It's weird, it's really weird. It's like the window of capacity has expanded far from imagination.
The Joker to me is one of the worst Batman villains ever created. I will say it again, ONE OF THE WORST. Waiting for anyone who wants to quit reading at this point and write some good ole hate comments... I have lots to say about Batman's ridiculously outdated roster of characters. Watch the Adam West series if you don't want to take my point in. Don't even also get me started on his origins. Falls into some acid and goes crazy. Acid kills you instantly. Acid could make you turn into a zombie. Acid could make you a monster. Acid could make you the freakin Toxic Avenger. I can buy all of that but you simple don't survive liquid acid. I would have bought it more if he was some druggie on acid, not him falling into acid LITERALLY. I'm going to save my gripe about Two-Face later, because with that amount of damage to one side of your famous YOU WOULD BE STILL CRYING OUT IN PAIN. Your flesh is exposed, what the hell! Oh yeah and the message it sends to kids, don't worry if your burned by Acid you could become an extremely cool villain, said no one ever. Why am I even bothering to look for any little logic in a Batman villain. No matter how serious and dark The Joker tries to be, yeah I'm calling out Nolan's attempt, this is still not the pinnacle Batman villain. This is an example of a villain we don't need anymore. This is an example of a villain that already out did it's own days in the past. Only if they get a more serious silly clown less version of him, he would work. Who the hell finds clowns funny anymore today. Are you kidding me right. I can't get over the fact a clown is one of Batman's villains next to a flippen penguin!? This is seriously a comic book embarrassment to me. Compared to Spider-Man's main villain The Green Goblin. A goblin is a mystical creature, a goblin is a sort of fantasy creature. A goblin relates to old dark fairy tale lore in vain of the Brother's Grimm stories. You see that is creative to bring a name like that to translate to a modern day comic book villain, that is pure genius. Other than for The Joker he might as well ha ha ha his way back to the circus cause he isn't funny anymore.
One of Batman's greatest villains yeah right, you know how I would change him. Here my idea of how he should be. So his origins begins with a kid traumatized by some creepy homeless guy who wants help. He runs away and goes him to cry. Fast toward years later and he meets the creepy homeless guy again. So the creepy homeless guy abuses this person violently. This time around the creepy homeless guy then kills him and he is revealed none other to be our main villain. So this creepy homeless guy who calls himself Frank Nuts is actually a psychopath who likes to eat squirrels. So he brings that persons body as a sacrifice to a group of squirrels. It is then revealed Frank Nuts was found as a child by a family of squirrels, Flash forward and we see this group of squirrels eating the body Frank Nuts has brought for them. Then Frank Nuts bites the squirrels head off midway through their feast. Then a person with a gun comes by and shoots Frank Nuts killing him. This person is revealed to be George Parker who is now revealed to be the actual main villain. Batman witnesses the event and runs after George Parker. George Parker runs into a factory and finds these hyper drugs. So he takes these drugs and fights of Batman. It gave him super strength. So then George Parker runs out of the factory and a missile launches blowing him up. The missile came from a helicopter piloted by Peter Blank who is now our main villain.
What I am trying to say is have multiple interchanging villains all under one identity at once. Have multiple villains assuming one format and make it something ongoing. Like oh this guy is the villain them it turns out to be this other guy. It brings out more mystery and terror under one substance. You don't know who it is going to be next so it leaves you guessing. Watch a brilliant film like Seven. You will see perfect examples that emulate his own sense. Watch Christian Bale's best film of his entire career American Psycho. Even watch a few classic 80s movies like Manhunter. These are really powerful ways to emulate such a desired character of nature. It's time to put The Joker at it's place where it needs to be. In the vault of not so super villains from the past. An example of a Batman villain better than The Joker is The Riddler. To me The Riddler has been more a mind bending villain in terms of his impact. He actually thinks in deep philosophical ways. The Riddler knows how to old his own especially being displayed as Jim Carrey which I regard as one of the best CBM performances I have ever seen next to Ben Affleck as Daredevil who I also found extremely surreal too.
