Yay Batman!

A weirdo freak posting anything on Batman

[yaybatman]

Hello! I fell into the batjokes rabbit hole a while back and decided to make an account dedicated to them.

Some quick info:

- This is my page to be unhinged about comicbook batjokes; I’m not too interested in other media with them; though the Arkham games may show up here and there

- I may post art, though I’m not very good at it…

-Joker spotify playlist?

-A Joker Shimeji(desktop pet)? (Java is needed first/don’t take him out his Shimeji folder | i actually have to update the link but I’m not sure if anyone’s interested in this shimeji)

Ignore the batbanners

“…The smallest flicker in the pupils, but still. And you say to yourself, see? Beneath it all he's just what you thought he was. A man. And ignore the fact that what you saw those tiny pupils do was expand. Expand for you after you stared back long enough. Ignore the fact that what you saw those black points expand with... was love.”

Here’s a headcanon: Gothamites are known to not be very expressive (they’ve seen so much…)

This mf is going to fall in love so hard with his batman that It's going to be catastrophic for everyone and i'm not even joking it's not even funny

nah but for real this is scott snyder i still haven't seen one of his iterations of the joker who isnt... intense about batman

Batman has always given a sense of meaning to Joker (in Scott's writing) there are some things that are different in this universe but others don't change, I think it would make sense for this version of the Joker to continue finding his purpose in Batman,once again

[ramssby]

...it really was like falling in love again...

Hmm… would it be fun to have some google docs on different batjokes topics where people can join freely and add their ideas to the paper?

Crazy DC joker-joker selfcest canon

One of the biggest universal mysteries is why my DC trade has a table of contents but 0 numbered pages. I’m supposed to know where page 488 is????

Throwing this awful rant of mine from a discord server here

the conversation scene in Batman: Bloom (amnesiac b and j/scene at the bench) is a similar situation as the conversation from the Killing Joke. In both one is trying to convince the other to change their fate. In Bloom, Joker goes up to Bruce to ask him to not go back to being Batman. In TKJ, bruce goes up to joker to ask him to not continue being Joker.

Bruce in Bloom says “No. but if it goes back, what was the damn point? If it doesn’t last, if it all just falls apart in the end and if it’s not more than just… just now, why does it matter? Maybe it’s all some big…” [joke]. This is Joker philosophy (bruce is literally about to say it’s all a big joke), and similar to Joker’s argument against Bruce in TKJ: that none of it matters. Bruce strangely slips into Joker philosophy when amnesiac Joker asks him to try helping Gotham through being that healed version of himself; that becoming Batman again will just lead back to [the metaphor] the parasites that don’t allow them room to enjoy the simple things in life(through biting the fishes tongues off—can’t eat simple bread), don’t allow them to be happy.

In TKJ, Batman offers them to work together. In Bloom, Joker offers the possibility that their paths can stay separate.

In TKJ before the conversation Joker attempts to shoot Batman, trying to fulfill their terrible fate. In Bloom, Joker turns the gun on himself, as the only to escape their fate

Joker in Bloom seems to know that he won’t succeed in getting Bruce keep his life without Batman; i mean he definitely seems to remember their story and their destiny in some way, and yet it’s like he “wanted to know that [he’d] make a genuine attempt to talk things over and avert [their] outcome”

You could even say that “it all hinges on tonight. Maybe this is our last chance to sort this bloody mess out.”

Etc

[yaybatman]

Bruce moving towards their old ways but Joker instead of fighting back like in TKJ, he deescalates the situation through his words just like Bruce in TKJ did.

Joker(TKJ): “No. […] This situation. It reminds me of a joke.”

Bruce(Bloom): “No. […] Maybe it’s all some big…” [joke]

Looking for visual parallels now and

FUCK AM I ON TO SOMETHING?

I always thought the panel of Bruce farther away behind joker with his jacket blowing in the wind seemed a bit strange compared to how the rest of the panels communicated; BUT HOLY SHIT ITS A PARALLEL

[yaybatman]

Do you guys think shipping batjokes is a requirement for becoming a batman writer?

at this point? yes lol
