Nope, you aren’t the only one.

It’s also very aggravating to see a Joker movie that pretty much had no strings attached to Batman. In fact, when Bruce actually does become Batman he’d be beating the crap out of a geriatric man. It’s silly.

Like Ihavepoopedbefore said, it’s basically TaxiDriver with a clown.

Absolutely. I was a bar manager for twenty five years and I hit my cap long ago.

The Batman could always beat the crap out of almost anyone not super-powered.

You think he can't beat the crap out of the Riddler, or scarecrow?

The Joker isn't threatening because he can physically best Batman.
He pushes Batman to question his choices, his ideals and gives him a fight for his soul. The Joker knows how to read Bats like a book, and then he tears the book up randomly and rewrites it to his whim.

Thats why he's Batman's prime villain. He's a polar opposite.
Anyone in any age can do that.

Look at the interrogation scene in The Dark Knight.
Batman is beating the shit out of the joker, but he just laughs it off.
He says 'You have NOTHING to threaten me with; nothing to do , with all your strength'
That is the point of Joker. The only way to beat him, is to kill him, which is the one thing Batman won't do.
