happy batjokes day 🦇💖🤡

#fanart #batman #batjokes #batman x joker #juce #telltale batman #the joker #<3 #my favorite flavor of batkokes at the moment is when the fight is over #batman's beaten the living daylight out of joker already #the day is saved and now all they can do is wait for the police to arrive #and while they wait they can have a moment of peace just to themself before gordon and arkham and the usual song and dance #and they're waiting on the roof. it's gotta be on the roof lol

Are there examples of batman flirting with joker?

...I mean. Depends on whatever you call this shit:

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #50

Batman: Secret Files #2

Detective Comics (1940) #781

Joker: Devil's Advocate

The Batman Adventures: Mad Love

And, most recently... well, if you ask me, Bruce putting Joker in chains and a gimp mask goes way beyond flirting, but there's this:

Batman & The Joker: Deadly Duo #4

#then there's the bit at the end of DotF and Bruce calling Joker 'darling' #idk if that qualifies as flirting. the moment is much more serious and Bruce is doing it to enrage Joker #though I guess that IS flirting between the two of them?? #asks #batman #bruce wayne #joker #batjokes #my comic panels

Bruce has done a lot of downright unhinged shit when it comes to Joker, but man, TBWL 1 lives in my head rent free. Not a day goes by where I don't think about this shit

I mean first you have THIS fuvking panel

Then Batman trying to convince Joker to use the Power of Friendship to defeat TBWL

And then most importantly. THIS

Joker shoots himself in the chest and Bruce's IMMEDIATE reaction is to run over there and tenderly cradle his dying body. Completely normal and heterosexual reaction /sar

What's funniest about the whole thing is that Batman might not have been infected with the weird toxin thing if he hadn't immediately scrambled over there to hold Joker's body as he bled out

Also his reaction... "Joker, stay with me!" oughipiuhouuhhhfuuhoiyhhhhh... I'm normal I feel normal

#the entire series is HORRIFICALLY gay #but this moment in particular #it haunts me #batjokes

[bougiebutchbitch]

Absolutely obsessed with the concept of Joker forever pushing his and Batsy’s game of chicken, constantly flirting, twisting everything Batman says into the filthiest of innuendoes, groaning soooo sexually every time Batman punches him, letting his legs fall open as he’s sprawled bloody on the ground beneath him, licking his lips and staring at Batman’s mouth with pupils so blown Batman can hardly see the green -

But the moment Batman actually kisses him, he dissolves into shocked, stuttery mush.

I've just finished Gotham Knights and I get that people aren't happy with the fucked ass haircuts but like, I do believe this is the most progressive and well written Jason Todd we've ever gotten in recent times. Even in recent comics. Like damn, bro goes to therapy, picked up his interests and hobbies again (e.g. the cooking and the reading and the shit talking) from his "Robin makes me Magic" days. Like yeah, he's still edgy, but he was murdered by a fucking Clown, he's allowed to be edgy. We got a Jason Todd that isn't diluted to "the angry black sheep character" archetype. He's healing, working on himself, his relationship with his family, and he's fighting his way (brutal and all strength and tact) to do what he stands for and what he believes is right. And his heart is just so big and full of compassion, but it doesnt blind him and make him wishful or naive. He's so well balanced in Gotham Knights. I hope this version of his character is written in future comics. I'm sick of DC writers making him this angry anti-hero who's only reasoning and purpose in life is to get back at Batman for failing him and so many others. Jason is allowed to be more than his trauma. Thank you Gotham Knights for seeing that.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game anon. I personally am not a fan, not because of Jason but because of the game itself. The dialogues felt stale, more reminiscent of tumblr "incorrect Batfam quotes" than the source material, and the NPCs felt dull compared to how full of life they were in the Arkham series (so much so I would hide in random spots just to hear them talking about the current game events, especially in AK). The most unforgivable bit to me was Tim not having ever fought the rogues because he's "young" - I've never seen anything more insulting and infantilizing for a character which already heavily suffers for being treated as the useless one, never allowed to participate in the game changing dynamics or to have meaningful arcs, and is relegated to being the cute little bisexual twink.

That being said it's a matter of taste, and Gotham Knights is surely a good game for those who prefer a wholesome loving family approach to these characters. Jason working on himself and going to therapy and having a good relationship with his "family" is surely what lots of people (especially in here) want to see. Me, I don't think any amount of therapy would help since therapy is based on shared human experiences and repetition of patterns, and Jason died and dug himself out of his own grave. That's not a trauma any therapist would have the means to help with. They indeed "diluted" the event in the game, changed the fact that Jason dug himself out of his own grave and was functionally braindead and homeless for two years, and made it so UTRH never happened in order for therapy to make any sense, because there is no reconciliation possible with a parent that slit your neck to save the person who broke all your bones with a crowbar and then murdered you.

It's kinda like when Wally went to therapy (canonically) after Barry's death. The therapist was a good one and he tried! But ultimately he didn't manage to make a real difference because Wally is the Flash, a super-powered creature with time bending powers who does things on the scale of absurdity, and who also happens to have had an extremely traumatic childhood and to have just lost the only person who ever loved him unconditionally. His problems have roots in reality but are out of the scope of any therapy method currently known to man.

And Jason is more than his trauma, but pretending his trauma doesn't inform his actions and can be solved with him "working on himself" is not an approach I hope they take in comics. I'd rather they went back to Jason doing things his way and protecting the people of Gotham in the only manner he finds helpful, because he experienced on his own skin (twice!) that Batman's methods don't work. I'd rather they allowed him to stop clashing with Bruce as main theme of his stories, and have his own plotlines in which he's in between a vigilante and a mafia lord (which they were doing with Dick by the way, before chickening out and have Slade bomb Bludhaven) with Bruce only as a cameo sometimes.

We have a high number of morally irrepressible characters who always do the right thing more or less. I'd like Jason to be something different, something darker, because there is a dramatic lack of grey characters and anti-heroes which were sanded down to either 100% bad guys or 100% good guys. I hate that, why can't we have nuanced choices and people struggling with the darkness they carry, why does everyone need to be a perfect "unproblematic" paragon of goodness who would never do anything wrong. We have A LOT of characters like that and I love them, I really do! But if everyone and their families are like that then it's really frickin boring!

Plus, I'd like the characters to actually struggle with their past traumas in a meaningful way, otherwise why even giving them those traumas to begin with. Give me Tim still grappling with how he couldn't save his father, give me Dick haunted by all the times he slipped and let go of the no killing rule in a way or another, give me Jason haunted by the tragedy of being abandoned by every person who was supposed to protect him and working from there to being the protector of everyone else.

That's what I hope DC would pick up and write about. I was never much for fluff and wholesome things unless it's in small amounts, I always preferred strife and complexity. But hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the game, at least one of us did!

#that game seems to have been made by tumblr for tumblr lol #the characters don't jave jagged edges they're all smoothed down to the most palatable version of themselves #I really disliked that #and sure the Arkham games have been made by dudebros for dudebros #but it's a batjokes fest which I always enjoy #and the dynamic of how Bruce reacts to the AK being Jason is more fatherly and loving than anything else ive ever seen between them #Bruce doesn't even need to forgive him because the moment he finds out that's his boy there's nothing to forgive #and every asshole thing he did with Tim and Barbara comes crashing down the moment he realizes this #he's not a Wholesome Tired Dad UwU he's someone who brought these kids to the frontlines of his war #and finally starts to see how wrong he's always been and realizes that actually he wants to cherish them and protect them #but alas it's too late they're soldiers now there's nothin he can do #Welp that was long #don't be offended anon we just like different things #my asks #jason todd

When people told me Batman Europa was really gay I assumed it was the usual subtext that could be processed in any other way. BUT THIS??? it's so unbelievably gay I still can't believe it's a real comic. The "Batman and Joker need each other?" "The cure iS LITERALLY EACH OTHER???" BRO

#batman europa #batjokes #so so gay #also joker speaking french? yesyesyes #every interaction between them is a batjokes moment

[gothamsfinestdummy]

Ah yes, that one comic where the Joker adopts a new henchman, forces him to tell him his story, harasses the CONDIMENT KING, buys cheap batman and robin cosplays for them to wear at the gas station, harasses random gothamites dressed as that, pulls a gun on a guy charging him $6 for a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich only for the henchman to frantically pay for it, tells him “sounds like your mom kinda sucks, man”, finds the house of said mother in retailiation of his henchman making a run for it using his memory from the henchman’s story, projects his desires for batman onto the poor guy (Jesus, J), beats his henchman with a crowbar, and SKIPS OUT THE DOOR.

#the joker #year of the villain #the comic was really funny in my opinion #or at least certain aspects of it #the comic was exploring that Joker was not crazy but evil #which im not the biggest fan of #I prefer a joker who does have mental illnesses #but everyone has a right to their own interpretation obviously #but yeah i was looking forward to reading this comic and i enjoyed it pretty well #i guess i should tag batjokes? #there was a scene where the henchman decides to choke Joker out and Joker shoves the cheap batman cowl on him and imagines batman doing it #batjokes #but its a pretty fun read i think #i dont really see comics about J and his henchman at all so thats cool #but dont worry the henchman and his mom are fine and they have a small bonding moment #Adding a new tag for these kind of posts specifically #Eggbart loses their mind over a comic

🦇 WIP Wednesday 🤡

listen i think the whole "beast living in the heart of a maze in the middle of a forest" Jeremiah's bunker situation was severely underutilised—

Time thaws slow around the edges of Gotham; daylights are growing longer and Bruce has been coming to lose himself awhile in the winding willows of the west side, willing himself to trust their good faith he cannot see until they lead him to the hidden heart of the forest and there, he's found. There, Jeremiah stands by the half open door of his maze and in the haunted paths of his palms, Bruce is found for the hour.

#Gotham had a few absolutely insane fairytale-adjacent plot moments #like Oswald freeing The Riddler by calling his name #but none of these moments are banked on and that makes me sad #so anyway the 642696437th problem i'm fixing about Gotham #wayleska #batjokes #Gotham #Gotham fox #Farimah writes

Joker's last laugh #6

#batjokes #i know a lot of people say that Bruce was worry about dick committing murder #but i don't see it #I'm pretty sure he didn't want him too #but Batman doesn't say I'm worry nightwing will snap #but he worried about the Joker the whole time #i mean what? #and even hopes he can save his life #lmao #maybe he was so worried about the Joker dying #he wasn't thinking about the murder at the moment #batman x joker #batman and joker #batman #comics #comic books #dc comics #batmm #the joker #dcedit

not a huge fan of brent spiner joker tbh. and the fact that they have alan tudyk in a small part as alfred makes me wish he were playing the joker instead. harley quinn tas joker is silly but i'd love to hear him as a more sinister joker

#my issue with brent spiner is that he sounds creepy in a way i don't like. like. Creepy creepy #not fun evil menacing creepy but like gross creepy #and that's simply not how i like my jokers #some really.... intense batjokes moments tho

[distort-opia]

I swear to God, I only have ONE ship--

#I was like 'hmm why is this Megop moment driving me so crazy. they aren't THAT Batjokes flavored' #BUT ACTUALLY. #I have so many thoughts about the patterns present in enemy ships #feeling so insane over hero characters being unspeakably unhinged about the villain #rants.txt

[mywitchcultblr]

You know I love to look at the tags of people who hates my ships and read all of their takes especially if they feel so morally superior... Of course I'm not interacting with them or picking a fight because it'll be too fucking stupid

But seeing people THAT upset over something that brought me joy? It giving me the kick and makes me giddy. Feeding off their negativity while lounging on my bed and grinning like a maniac... It is delightful...

Especially when they call anyone who dare to ship my favorite ships as 'freak' ohhhh kitten... I'll be upset of you call me 'normal'

I'm feeding off from your dark energy

( some of my current ship are listed on tags )
