The great thing about the joker is, in a script you wanna make the bad guy seem like he has the advantage to get the audience on the edge of their seats. The Joker doesn't hes just an idiot.
to the great Mr Jerry Robinson ... the man who helped bob Kane to create the greatest villain of all time the joker and what has wanna beans did to it they ruined it by creating the crap called Harley Quinn and guess what the crap is joker "s girlfriend ........
@iDraw3G Go to hell, Jerry Robinson fought tooth and nail to get Superman creators Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster a livable pension when they were at the end of their rope thanks to what DC put them through, and he and Bill Finger did more to contribute to the creation of the Batman mythos than Bob Kane ever did.
Bobo had the original idea of the Best comic book character ever (Batman). But Bill and Jerry made the vision come true and exceeded everyone´s expectations on how to create ever-lasting heroes and villains.
What a crook! He has a picture of Conrad Viedt from "The Man Who Laughs" (1928) and a joker card on his desk and that's how he came up with the character. Bob Kane and Bill Finger already ratted you out, old man.
@jokerburnsgotham I believe Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger have never made any secret that "The Man Who Laughs" was one of their main sources for The Joker, although Bob Kane usually took the position that he created everything in the Batman mythos from The Joker & Robin to Alfred, making no mention of Bill Finger, Jerry Robinson, Dick Sprang or any of the ghost artists who worked on Batman.
@cha5 took kane decades to admit that finger had anything to do with the creation...he never said word one about robinson. kane was a real piece of work
I like to ask one question: How come in the comic books the Joker had black hair, but in the television series and the movies why did he have green hair?
The character had green hair in the comix as well. The highlights they used were green. That's the way they used to do hair in comix back then. I guess the concept was that hair was basically shiny,
Possibly the liquid metal lad out of terminator 2 and Venom out of spiderman are also cool. But lets face it then 3 are the best villains ever. Shame venom was ruined in the film though.
Due to a last minute change Joker went from a one shot villain to a major reoccuring villain. So thank goodness nothing is final in comics until it get's printed.
idk, I like the modern age ones more myself, not just because of the artwork, but because I find they have more complex and entertaining stories, but you really can't shame the golden are...
RIP Jerry Robinson and Bill Finger, the real geniuses behind Batman and Joker.
Fuck that piece of shit bob kane.

Not even when its printed... I meen some villains have been killed a number of times and revived too.
masterdimsen 2 years ago
Ok but I don't hear a lot of one shot villains that get revived mainly because they are mean't to be one trick ponies.
