Date: 2012-10-09 12:34 am (UTC)Both characters have been around so long, written by so many writers, in so many different ways, that at this point ANY interpretation of them is essentially valid. There is no one Batman, from Adam West doing the Bat-Watusi, to Frank Miller's Dark Knight stomping mutants, to Christian Bale's "WHERE'STHEGURRLLL!?", it's all Batman. And the same goes with the Joker, from the homicidal clown introduced by Kane and Finger to the weird dreadlocked thing from The Batman... This is just another patch sewn into the crazy quilt that is the heritage of the character. So the question isn't whether this is "really" the Joker, but simply whether or not it's an enjoyable read.

Date: 2012-10-08 11:19 pm (UTC)The fact he's able to kill three presumably trained police officers without them being able to do anything at all to even inconvenience him (and apparently just because it's dark, when it'd be dark for HIM TOO) is also annoying...

Date: 2012-10-09 01:19 am (UTC)Neat though, so I'll read it.
This makes me wonder though, how long has it been since we've seen the Joker do something other than this kind of creepy murderer stuff, like say, build a deathtrap or hold the entire city hostage demanding that Batman do a rendition of the Aristocrats before he'll let anyone go. How long has it has it been since we've seen the Joker do something like that in the main DCU?

Date: 2012-10-09 01:42 am (UTC)To be fair, though, I'm less than thrilled about the Joker being back, so I'm obviously not the target audience for this one.
no subject
Date: 2012-10-09 03:16 am (UTC)Folks can say all they want about the element of surprise, and the Joker being just that good, but to me it stretches my suspension of disbelief that Gordon's the only one who even tries to defend himself, while everyone else just stands around waiting to die at the hands of a single apparently unarmed man.

Date: 2012-10-09 03:14 am (UTC)Gordo's reaction in the penultimate page however was a tiny bit narmy though
I suggest a site wide policy of cautious optimism for this comic.

Date: 2012-10-09 05:26 am (UTC)I have to admit I am really looking forward to this, as I am a huge fan of the Joker as someone who gets under one's skin.

Date: 2012-10-09 08:29 am (UTC)Also, the whole thing with his face is lost on me. Why would you let your face get cut off and then just take it and tie it back onto your head? That makes absolutely no sense at all. I get that they like trying to show us how "crazy" Joker is, but honestly, that's just stupid.
