you know, since Selina's problem is that she loves Bruce Wayne but Batman loves the Joker and the Joker's problem is that he loves Batman but Bruce Wayne loves Selina, I think they should form a polycule and solve both their problems. it'd be a really bitchy fucked up polycule but you can't spell "dysfunctional" without "fun"

it's really fascinating to me that. it's only in conjunction with catwoman that DC gets the closest to genuinely, sincerely, and with gravity saying that joker is gay. that joker is a gay man who is attracted to and romantically in love with batman, and the tragedy is that he's too unwell to act on it in a healthy way.

and like..... you have something like "white knight" where it comes off pretty homophobic because you've got joker's toxic love for batman contrasted against jack's more stable love for harley. but these moments with selina don't come off like "heterosexuality is healthy/natural and homosexuality is unnatural/mental illness" because it's usually used to highlight the flaws in both relationships, both selina and joker with bruce. the tragedy that none of the 3 of them know how to have a normal, stable relationship. or when they come close to it (the wedding arc), they choose not to.

iunno..... is interesting. especially that it's mostly only selina's PoV that's allowed to say these things out loud, both from a character and publishing standpoint. their triadic dynamic is soooooo

Will I ever finish these? No. Am I still posting them anyways? Of course.

“batjokes better” “batcat better” why not both? all at once?

On a regular basis I will say I hate the joker. Can't stand him. Worst character ever invented If I could wipe his existence of the face of the earth I would.

However when the Joker's actually funny

He's only acceptable when he's hilarious or gossiping with Selina.

Like their whole vibe is "this is my boyfriend Bruce and this is Bruce's boyfriend The Joker" and Bruce looks confused and slightly disgusted while the Joker is insisting that she's the homewrecker. They have little gabby meet-ups when Selina's too depressed to lose it over what a horrible person he is. They get drunk and talk about batman and Selina has too much and talks about something he does in bed and the Joker joins in and there's a couple seconds of confusion because despite the obsession she knows for fact these men have never slept together

Sorry if this is completely illegible. I was thinking about how they feel about each other
