I have to say I'd absolutely love this version of joker in a comic run. He doesn't kill anyone but he actually roots out corruption in his extremely illegal and chaotic way. And all the threats and weapons are literal gags and pranks
Yeah hoing back to the idea the Joker is just chaotic and does whatever he thinks is funny, even ironically, which doesnt always neccessarily mean killing someone keeps things up in the air. Ill always be a litle sad postArkham hype DC decided the only way for any batman villain to be a threat is to be a mass murderer.
Always wondered if Joker was just an anti-hero instead of a psychotic mass murderer. Imagine if he was a vigilante who stopped crime but in his own way. That way he could still have his rivalry with Batman because it doesn't mean he has to team up with the Bat Family.
I'm gonna say that the real villain was the producer. The people watching had a myriad of reasons to want to watch. Sure, some of it is the whole "trainwreck" thing, you can't take your eyes off something horrible, but it could be concern for those in the studio, wanting to see if it turns out all right, maybe they have loved ones in the audience, and want to know first hand what happens, or maybe they don't actually believe it's the real Joker and think it's some messed up prank on the viewers. There's a lot of reasons people could be watching, but the only reason the guys kept it on the air was money, and they did it at the potential cost of lives.
Yes, I agree. There is not much that the viewers watching from their TV can do to stop the Joker's rampage. The Joker himself have only succeeded in enlightening the world how corrupt the producer is, albeit the way he gone about it is wrong. There are many other ways to expose the producer than to terrorize the innocents who were there at the time. This comic almost make the Joker look like the hero in a twisted kind of way while making the producer look like the real villain who is unself-aware that he is one. The villain of his own story.
personnaly, If i lived in gotham and came into my house after a long day of work and turned on the tv to my favorite gameshow only to see that joker hijacked it, id go :" is this gonna be another of those joker social experiments where Im somewhat the asshole for whats happening? you know what? screw this! im watchig big bang theory reruns instead!"
Joker in kid shows: Im going to steal everyone's presents for christmas! Joker in teen shows: im going to take over Gotham using my joker gas and NOBODY will stop me! Joker in DC comics: *I'm gonna fucking blow up an entire warehouse full of babies.*
@@thetester1158 it wasn't Joker, but there was a DC or Marvel comic where the Villain duct-taped babies to himself so he made baby body-armour so the police couldn't touch him
Ehh I still don’t question it as the state could still give him the death penalty or cops could shoot him dead as you know they got guns and Batman doesn’t care about cops using guns
The Joker's Asylum series was a great way to tell short stories with a bunch of different rogues. This was a pretty good one. They should go back to the idea and try to find the most obscure villains they can and reinvent them in this same style.
That would be a great idea because there's pleny of villains that need another chance to shine like Mad Monk, Film Freak, Eraser, Calendar Man, and several others.
Joker bringing out the worst in humanity without killing anyone was amazing. It is his way to say that everyone can be corrupted, twisted and sadistic with a simply push. Definitely one of his best stories.
3:46 Why does it seem like Joker was incredibly disappointed that Barbara chose an elephant as a mollusk that reproduces asexually. Like he was expecting her to be wrong, but not THAT wrong
Tbh that was probably the most offensive panel in the entire comic. Like corrupt studio exec who was willing to let people die for ratings? That's normal. A woman thinking an elephant had anything to do with mollusks? I just... like, cmon maaaan.
The real villain was both the producer and the Joker. In this scenario, the Joker played a harmless prank and didn't actually hurt anyone but the producer was willing to let people die to boost the ratings. However, the Joker is still the Joker, a psychotic serial killer who has filled entire graveyards singlehandedly. So despite being a villain, Joker's just not the biggest one in the room (strangely enough).
I believe Joker was asking the question in an almost isolated way. Like,in this specific situation,ignoring everything outside of this situation,who’s the worst villain?
This is one of my favorite Joker stories, it uses the expectations of modern Joker for the ultimate joke that he's basically pulling an Adam West era Joker stunt, but with social satire at the end. I love it.
This reminds me a lot of the golden age of comics, when the joker wasn’t a mass murdering psycho and just a prankster! It’s actually a good change of pace in my opinion!
It's like in some panels, he sort of looks like Leatherface as Joker, then the average Joker design, and Joker but he actually looked like he fell into the vat of Chemicals.
Who illustrated this? Some very nice art here Btw mullet man i never realised u had 252k subs only, imo you're currently THE comics guy, every story you have looked was interesting and you tell it with other trivia at the start of every video.. consistent and interesting, very good combination to have. Also no annoying things, you dont push your own thoughts and etc. So many good things you're doing. I wish you the best for the future
I fucking love how stylized the art is. Nothing is consistent, with different bodily proportions, styles of shading, uses of color, levels of detailed etc. It's chaotic and inconstant, practically changing the entire art style in order to fit the mood of each panel. Some of the only consistency is with just how well it's all produced Like at 2:30, the style isn't just changing between panels, both characters in panel two are drawn completely differently. The women looks much more like a comic book character, with relatively flat shading; but the man looks like a still of a rotarscoped animation, with super realistic proportions, lots of color gradients, and has a ton of pitch black blobs of shading. It really sells the difference between the two, and yet manages to still fit together without feeling very jarring Shit like this is why I love seeing people play with art styles. Art direction can be some of the most important and impactful parts of any media
2:12 I am surprised of the right most one. Not because it probably wouldn’t be hard or literally impossible for someone to know but because it wouldn’t be my first thought when coming up with hard topics
They're all not impossible, since even he knows the answers. But they're questions that not the average person would know the answer too, which is legitimately hilarious.
@@neptune9647 Yeah I feel the same also I don’t think most people wouldn’t have even remembered the answers to these question if they had read the answer somewhere on a book or something unless it involved their profession. Expect maybe reproductive habits of freshwater mollusks because in this day and age someone could have a documentary or a video about it because they had time to kill but that’s probably the only question that could have a not really small chance of someone knowing the answer
Joker legit proved to all of America, at elast that was tuning in, that they're all psychos for being entertained by essentially a televised stick-up / hostage-situation. It fits his character so well
*If I’m being honest* I found Barry Keoghan’s version - in the scenes he had - to be trying too hard.. I hope that’s the last we see of his character - and if he shows up again - I hope it’s like “A Serious House on a Serious Earth” and he shows up, delivers an amazing monologue and then the spotlight goes to his other villains..
I do miss when the joker used to commit crimes that actually had a punch line to them. All too often be just write him as a nihilistic murderer with an obsession with Batman. I mean sure that’s definitely part of it but his character has more layers than that.
Always loved this story. Reminded me of discussion I had with my Rabbi once. This was back when To Catch A Predator came out and somehow we were talking about the degradation of morales and society. My Rabbi asked who is sicker, the predators on the show who try to lure kids to have sex with, the producers who look at the predators and see a gold mine opportunity to make millions off adults who try to have sex with kids, or the general public who finds all of it fascinating entertainment while they eat dinner with their families? To this day, I still do not have an answer for him.
When people read such comic books and be like "The producer's the real villain" they, for some unknown reasons, forget all other shit Joker has done in the past, killing, robbing, torturing and so on. In this particular story, both the producer and the Joker are villains, I don't blame the audience
It feels so weird seeing joker not kill anyone and sort of act like a hero. He’ll exposed the producer for being the scum bag that he is, but at the same time pulled a horrifying prank.
It fits, since Joker at his best likes to drag people down to his level. He got to prove that there were no good people. In this instance, everyone was as bad as him.
The executives and producer are definitely the bad guys. A number of the audience members are definitely at fault in some way for how they paid attention or chose not to give the proper attention to the people in that show, but everything comes back to the executives and producer who not only wanted the broadcast to continue but actually legit hoped things would get worse to the degree where somebody dies on camera ‘for them’. Also, what kind of game show has its audience members sign release forms? There are things people naturally aren’t gonna blame the show runners for if any of those ‘things’ happen.
at first I thought Joker just wanted to be cruel. Knowing get a question wrong and you'd die....and seeing catagories thats impossible. would drive anyone insane. but it was simply Joker having fun. being a gameshow host and showing sometimes the true villain isnt typical
really Joker did not commit a crime. he was always the gameshow host. he just was having fun. yes it was torture believing you'd die but....again he didnt commit any crimes. he not once tried to kill anyone.
You know, I'd totally be down to see the Joker do stuff like this more often. Not to say get rid of the murder happy clown but show more of the Joker being well.. a Joker. Allot of stories I see of the Joker have him just purely be this sadistic or purely insane man, where the authors constantly try to one up how disturbing they can take it, making you wonder why nobody has offed this guy yet. I think this strikes a good balance. Goofy but dangerous, and dangerous but not so unhinged that he's exists purely to kill. A personality
I dont know, for some reason this story dosent really grab me. Feels like the message "the real bad guy is YOU for watching" is something ive seen before. I think a more interesting take would be that the joker ginds out at the end that most people werent particularly interested to see people tortured and killed live on cam and changed the channel to watch big bang theory instead.

I’d watch it just in case Joker does something that threatens the rest of the city.
It's weird to see Joker not kill anyone lol
I’d argue the Joker is a lot scarier and more unpredictable if he doesn’t kill very often. He should only do it when there is a joke involved.

This is an official DC quote I will remember now.
I believe that for this special occasion Batman ‘willingly’ let the Joker get away because for once Joker was being genuine.
3:46 Why does it seem like Joker was incredibly disappointed that Barbara chose an elephant as a mollusk that reproduces asexually. Like he was expecting her to be wrong, but not THAT wrong
"you were supposed to get that wrong, but not *THAT* wrong..."
Tbh that was probably the most offensive panel in the entire comic.
Like corrupt studio exec who was willing to let people die for ratings? That's normal. A woman thinking an elephant had anything to do with mollusks? I just... like, cmon maaaan.
I love the fact that Joker can just as easily rip off another human beings face as he would get a job at the DMV and file everyone's paperwork slowly

Agree. This is excellent and a great way to mitigate the excesses of making Joker constantly extremely violent by subverting it.
The Joker saying that these producers are scum -> "Heartbreaking: the worst person you know just made a great point"
Joker is doing such an insane amount of trolling
This reminds me a lot of the golden age of comics, when the joker wasn’t a mass murdering psycho and just a prankster! It’s actually a good change of pace in my opinion!
Ngl this is joker’s best joke in years
Batman smiling is always a treat
I'd definitely like to see a joker pulling the Society aspect more and exposing the evils of it with his psychopath sense of humor
He looks horrifying in this comic and doesn’t kill anyone makes it more unnerving
It's like in some panels, he sort of looks like Leatherface as Joker, then the average Joker design, and Joker but he actually looked like he fell into the vat of Chemicals.
I love how the Joker just turns serious for a moment and finds Barbara to be so stupid it isn’t even funny. She gave joker an aneurysm.
Yes and that is itself funny.
This art is utterly terrifying and fits so well with the story!
Good ol joker pulling some actually harmless pranks and exposing some jerk producer guy, he completely deserved the Chevrolet :D

"spray his asset on Barbara's face" ha.
if the joker was out there only commiting crimes like this, id honestly say let him have it.
Well, this is something. I never thought I would see joker not killing people instead of bringing more of his prankster self.
tbh i dont blame joker for laughing about it for hours, if i did that shit i would too
If he did this in Japan no one would care
I mean he do bit of trolling
This type of story are my favorite style of joker tales
Personally I wish Joker did this sort of stuff more. He doesn't always need to be a murdering psychopath.
Does this guy actually have a mullet or is that just his YT name?

Joker was neither the villain nor the hero. He was the messenger.
More impactful than shouting out a window "I'm mad as hell and i won't take it anymore!!"

I do miss when the joker used to commit crimes that actually had a punch line to them. All too often be just write him as a nihilistic murderer with an obsession with Batman. I mean sure that’s definitely part of it but his character has more layers than that.

Holding people hostage is still pretty evil.
