You versus the Joker

Could YOU beat the Joker? Which versions?

Default Khazan Arena, etc, but no standard equipment for either you or the Joker.

Hahahahahahhaha yeah the only Joker I or most people can beat is the non dangerous ones from like the 60's if we take modern comics joker we all die painfull deaths.

[abmccray]

No, it's impossible. It's pretty much exactly the same as trying to take on a bloodlusted Batman, except instead of an instant death, it would probably be something painful where you know it's coming. No thank you.

[Forgotten Entity]

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

*runs out of thread for dear life*

Reminder, too, that the Joker took a direct headshot, among many other ways where any real life person would die or at least suffer sever damage or be paralyzed or need serious rehab, and be absolutely fine almost immediately (within a week in real world time). He can also beat CBPHs in fighting by "surprise" if they arent the older members of the Bat family (Tim Drake is basically the youngest member that can take him). And, his blood and sweat are filled with Joker toxin. There's not really anything you could do to him before he decides to bite off your face or something.

I believe Nik Hasta can beat the Joker.

More seriously, barring some truly wimpy versions of the Joker (Jack Nickelson's Joker doesn't have any non-equipment feats, I think, so there's a chance with that one), no way in heck.

Wait, didn't Damien beat him once?

There's the Cesar Romero Joker, of course.

There was an animated version that was terrorizing a normal guy and the guy got sick of it and strapped a bomb to himself and was going to blow them both up and the Joker was crawling to Batman, begging him to save him because the guy had gone crazy. Turns out it wasn't even a bomb. The guy faked him out.

I remember one with the comic Joker where several cops had their guns aimed at him at close range and he tossed something from his hand that sent up a billow of smoke. Of course, he would really have had a bunch of bullets in him before the smoke even rose. But that can be brushed off as just a badly choreographed scene.

Generally, some of the movie and television versions might be vulnerable. As was pointed out, if its purely hth, there are versions of the Joker that have no hth feats other than getting trounced by Batman.

The MunchKING won't lose to the Joker!!

Well as long as he packs a Ribbon, and the Death Sentence or some other long-range weapon.

ANY Joker!!

Although admittedly Emporer Joker would probably need a team of four to thirteen unlikely heros, a batshit insane plot, and a healthy dose of PIS, but we totally wouldn't lose the Final Battle. *nods*

He let Damien beat him so that he would get Joker blood on him, thus infecting him.

Even Caesar Romero Joker had one hit KOs and such. Cartoon Joker had some low feats, but could be just as scary as comic Joker when he put his mind to it, and was EXTREMELY durable, being close to explosives and being knocked twenty feet away by punches with no real damage.

Well, I meant outside of that one time where Damien knocked him around with a crowbar. I thought there was an occasion where they had a straight up fight and Damien won.

Also, how many versions actually have superpowers? I remember there was a vampire Joker (or two), Joker on Venom, Joker on Titan, and two versions of Emperor Joker.

[Zagreus]

Yeah, I'd much rather fight Batman than the Joker. At leat Batman would put me down clean. Joker would f&^% me up. Especially in real life where stuff is not PG-13 rated who knows what stuff he'd pull. Well, he could just put something into my brain like in DKR if I'm a non entity to him, but in the arena he has an audience, so he's gotta put on a show. We should all be afraid. Very afraid.

Oh wait, NO standard equip? Then yeah, the Jokers lose to a competent Combat Mage.

[Time_to_Zap]

Are you kidding? The Joker would have me beat with a "Have you checked the children"/Ghostface and Drew Berrymore-esque phone call. No way I could take him on.
