I dunno about "good", but Doug Moench's Batman stuff was often steeped in it. He even wrote a three-parter titled "Conspiracy" in Legends of the Dark Knight.

Back in the day, I remember a slightly larger version (about 20-30%) of this promo pic of Nicholson!Joker, also in full-color. Might anyone know where I can find it?

I'd certainly like to see Snyder be able to write a Two-Face origin that could top "Eye of the Beholder"... or a Riddler origin that could top "Questions Multiply the Mystery"...

If his redoing of...

... I dunno, I think it's kinda weird for Luffy to associate the Mera Mera fruit with Ace so much. Most of his memories of Ace are from before Ace ate the thing (IIRC, Alabasta was the first time...

At last count, the highest combat feat Joker achieved was beating the crap out of Tommy Mangles, barehanded, in Devil's Advocate. Mangles was roughly 300 pounds of solid muscle, and had killed...

Hello, all.

I've recently become fascinated with Felicia Hardy, AKA the Black Cat. Can anyone recommend a couple of her best stories to me? Mostly looking for the best demonstrations of her skills...

Joker as Unwanted Harem protagonist? Color me intrigued.

As "anti-creative" a recurring rogues gallery might be to Batman, I think it's a large part of what keeps him in the public consciousness. Otherwise, he'd be languishing alongside Dick Tracy.

If I remember correctly, he created very few members of the Bat-clan. The only one that really comes to mind is Steph Brown (Spoiler/Robin IV/Batgirl III), and her status is contested both...

Batman doesn't necessarily have to catch the villain at the end of every, or even most, stories. Just have those stories end with a massive explosion and a "maybe he's dead/but probably not". Or,...

I believe the reason that Dixon doesn't get even more heat for Devil's Advocate (and he gets plenty) is because the Joker, as presented in that story, had actual charisma and wit. And Dixon, wisely...

My thoughts on this: if Batman won't even kill Ra's al-Ghul, then people have no business expecting him to kill Joker.

Bruce has seen first-hand, and remembers, what Ra's can do on a good day....

So... I've noticed lately that whenever people bandy about the whole "someone (preferably Batman) should totally kill the Joker!" thing, they always mention something along the lines of "he once...

Also - although I don't know whether to praise or curse him for this - Dixon was the one who created the Iceberg Lounge and the corresponding "legit businessman" portrayal of Penguin.

Funny thing:...

Thirding (or fourthing?) "Penguin gets his ass kicked by Batman". Perhaps extend it to "Penguin gets his ass kicked by anyone who we want to show is a badass".

I started checking out when drunken,...

While that would sound nice, I'm not too sure those two things are ever meant to mix.

I can count on one hand the number of "Big-Idea" stories that have actually managed to make me care about...

He also penned Riddler's post-Crisis origin, initiated the first Cass/Steph teamup (thus launching a thousand squees across the Interwebs), and actually tried to change Joker's whole...

Huh. I'd always held the exact opposite opinion.

While Moench - and to an extent, Grant - did seem more willing to experiment with Bat-stories and try exploring all sorts of new ideas (as well as...

Ahh... the forgotten quartet of Jokers. Two from Filmation shows, two from Hanna-Barbera shows. Largely overlooked by the last generation for not being Romero, largely ignored by the next generation...

So... any thoughts on what's going to happen to the prisoners? I've got three theories:

1.) They'll be handed over to the marines, vanish from the storyline a bit, possibly be given their own...

Eh. Maybe I'm just conflating two of my Joker-related pet peeves in my head.

One is the whole "This is THE Joker story, which will revolutionize the character like never before!" thing (Morrison's...

For those interested in such things, John "about_faces" Hefner's take on the whole deal. Not a sympathetic voice to be found in this corner of the Internet, I'm afraid. I haven't had the time to plow...

Well, this has completely shot a hole in my theory that pursuit is something the Strawhats aren't good at. Previously, they've always been about letting the bad guys come to them, but now...

Also,...

Does Lil' Gotham count? If it does, then Dustin Nguyen.

If it doesn't... I've got nothin'.

And if you want to see a great Joker death, just hop on over to Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. :biggrin:
