An ironic complaint from the guy who gave the character the best possible origin, and covered his tracks by making it a big shrug. He did the character the best favor by keeping it ambiguous while hinting at the true horror of how easily the character came into existence.
I wish DC would stop teasing some kind of new reveal to his origin and then pulling back to keep the status quo that was already the better arrangement to begin with. Oh, they’re gonna reveal the Joker’s real origin! Wait, no, they’re just revealing that there are 3 different Jokers. Omg, so there have been 3 Jokers Batman’s been fighting all along?! No, it’s only been a thing since the last multiverse crisis-thingy. Whoa, does it mean that each has a different origin and that’s why we always get a different story for his background?! Nope, the real Joker just infected 2 other dudes with his poison and made them think they were him just to see see how long it would take Batman to realize he was fucking with him.
C’mon, DC, stop trying to screw with this story and use the Joker when you’re going for actual high emotional stakes, or just want to make the readers laugh a bit. If you’re going to ruin the character with an actual origin, get it over with, stop making it a big tease; if you’re going to keep it as it is, same advice. You’ve already ruined Harley Quinn’s uniqueness, tread carefully with the Joker, but make a decision already. And let’s actually have some lasting consequences! The things he did to Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon would hold weight if they were still dead and crippled, respectively.
Bit of a day. I’ve been having pains in the left side of my chest for a few days. Went to the GP, he sent me to the hospital, and it turns out I have pneumonia. Just going to take it easy this week, hope the pain and the illness is gone by end of the week.
Was wondering where you were. Hope you get well soon, Silvereyes. Pneumonia is nothing to mess around with. It’s kind of surprising that it snuck up on you like that
Bad day today I parked my car and came back to see this - someone / some car did a hit and run and fled. Thankfully nobody was inside. Unfortunately there was no people / cctv around to catch the culprit.
Poor Car, now in garage. Hope it returns like before. Now I need to put a dash cam soon.
“How did you get that marker past security? We frisked you on the way in!”
“Well it wasn’t in my pocket, Trebeck! I bet if you’d have frisked me you’d have found it! Ho Ho Ha!”
“All you had to do was write down a number and you wrote “threeve,” a combination of three and five. Simply stunning. And you wagered Texa$ with a dollar sign.”
