The New Mecha-Batman Now Has A Mecha-Joker To Fight

Batman’s been through a few changes in DC’s comics recently. First off, he’s no longer Bruce Wayne, but Jim Gordon. Secondly, he’s now a giant, Jim-Gordon-piloted Mech Suit. That’s all well and good for Batman fighting normal criminals, but now he needs some villains to go robot-toe-to-robot-toe with. Behold, ROBO JOKER. The wonderfully silly development…

DC Comics Nearly Made A Sequel To Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke

The Reason Batman Has The Greatest Villains Is Their Lack Of Superpowers

The Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze.

This Narrative Hole Explains Why The Joker Won’t Ever Have His Own Movie

Batman’s characters have been pretty well represented on-screen over the years, and yet Batman’s most long-standing adversary, the Joker, has never had his own solo flick.
