The Best Joker Episode | Joker's Favor | Batman The Animated Series This is a good video essay about the B:tAS episode that is essentially Kaleb Cross’ backstory in Pathfinder’s Quest. ‘Joker’s Favor’ in Summary:

Instead of Bob, it's 'Charlie' and he cuts the Joker off on the freeway, the Joker chases him down and gives him a talking to and tells him he's going to ask for a favor someday. Charlie takes his wife and kids and skips town, and the Joker finds them and asks for his favor. Charlie does it, finds out Joker was going to leave him to get bombed, Charlie chases Joker down with the bomb to take them both out in revenge. Joker calls for help from Batman, who saves them both.

It’s a very toned down version of what Kaleb does to Bob and his family (since Batman was essentially noir for kids), but the same format.

ngl ever since the CoD crowd picked up on the game it's been insufferable to play for my autistic ass. I miss where I could find a rando team that wanted to hear voicelines and play in character and I haven't found that since S15 and it's been SO disheartening. I've been working on fic for sure, but honestly I've already clocked like 200 hours on a Persona 5 replay. Like I don't have a consistent team in Apex and I never have, but it's increasingly harder to not get worn out by a 8 minute at most match of hotdropping and kill hunting and absolutely no character development. It's wasting the fucking characters and the lore. And it's not like EA cares as long as the game makes them money
