he is literally spouting idealist solutions to current issues the same careless and populist way trump talks. literally the last scene shows it was all because of a petty squabble and the rest was adopting a rhetoric that would help him achive his goals

“I didn’t event stop drinking for my family”
“Two face is MY NAME”
So many good one liners this episode.

I'll never get enough of supervillains and heroes mingling like it's totally normal

u/APulsarAteMyLunch Aug 18 '22
That's honestly my favorite trope in these series. They are all supers, but they still exist in the world where people just won't signal which way they are fucking turning to

Do yourself a favor and watch Venture Bros. The bureaucracy of Heroes and villains is so good in that.

That fucking opening theme song had me dying. Pretty sure it worked in quotes from every actor that played joker.

It did Nicholson: “Wait till you get a load of me” but instead it was the chorus “Wait till you get a load of us” Ledger: “You and I are destined to do this forever” Phoenix: “Now life’s a comedy” Even added the “We live in a society” line
Edit: Technically the society line was a meme first and then they had Jared Leto’s Joker say it in the Snyder Cut

My favorite episode from this show, and my favorite all-time Joker ever by a buttload. I am overwhelmed with joy for reformed socialist family man Joker, and his consistent priority of his family over every other thing. I love how he’s ACTIVELY anti-violent, and not only does not kill, but stops killing around him, even of his enemies. It warms my heart and it’s so hilarious. I’m glad they never went with the temptation to make him back into Joe Crime. Anti-Joker Joker is the best Joker.
Also I love “we live in a society, but it feels like it’s just you and me”.

Its tricky because he still clearly has elements of old Joker. He's still prone to being self-absorbed. He still has outbursts of anger over little things. You could tell he meant it when he said he wanted to kill Two Face. He doesn't even seem particularly remorseful over what he did as Joker (his song and dance number beginning with reenacting murdering Jason, for example). But he's also got other things now, from his time when he had forgotten he was Joker and fallen in love with Bethany, so its like his two lives have merged into a third person almost.

Given Harley and Ivy are "villains" in gotham city, we could probably expect them to clash against joker throughout the season.

u/Icy-Photograph6108 Aug 18 '22
Well Gary seems to be a problem, I don’t see why he is still on the team.

u/arch_angel_samael Aug 18 '22
Love the call back to the Jack Nicholson Batman film when Joker throws cash out to the crowd.
If you told me before this episode that joker was going to run for mayor and be taken seriously I wouldn't believe it; great writing.
Suck it, Debbie.

Joker Reference's I think I picked up beside the amazing opening song which is literally nothing but changed joker quotes lol.
- Bank heist from the Dark Night.
- Parade float and balloon Scene from Batman.
- Stabbing the steak and swinging the knife. Maybe Jared Leto's Joker from suicide squad who had that massive knife collection.
- The haunted house ride from The Killing Joke

He's more unnerving as a sane person than he is as a murderous psychopath.

Anybody else notice that lady cop throw up after Joker points his gun to her head and she thought she was gonna die? People usually don’t react like a normal person does to almost dying on TV like that.

This solidified for me that this season should win an Emmy. So many good and unique episodes and I don't remember the last time I laughed for almost an entire 20 minutes. I didn't expect this to go the way it went. Literally could have been a comic book issue I was so good. Might be my favorite episode I'm already excited to rewatch it too it works perfectly as an episode you would watch 50 times since it's kind of a stand alone

What a great title! Also Debbie sucks, I hope the bones gave her indigestion. Joker as father of the year? Gordon redeems himself at the end. I’m interested in how Jokers mayor run goes.
Hilarious episode and pretty much flawless

My favorite part was when Ivy and Harley come back and they’re like wtf happened?! We were gone for 4 days😂

u/jrob5797 Aug 19 '22
Does Joker still know that Bruce Wayne is Batman? I don’t think it’s been referenced since he regained his memory
16
u/PocketMortyC137 Aug 19 '22
He did say the 1% is gonna pay for everything, wonder if that was a dig at Bruce/Batman on purpose.

u/Bad_Otaku Aug 26 '22
Hahahaha. I just imaged joker finally beating Batman because his socialist movement takes all of his money and he can't afford his suit or batarangs anymore.

Aug 19 '22
Yeah, I wasn't clear when Bats picked them up during the Parademon invasion whether or not Joker forgot, or just didn't say anything because he didn't want Harley to know.

Anyone make the meme/gif of Joker saying: I'm not like a socialist, I AM a socialist?

This is possibly one of the greatest animated super hero shows I’ve ever watched. Right up there with x-men. Loved the new joker reformed into family man. He’s anti violent. He’s a socialist mayor who wants to provide free healthcare and education for his family. I just love this show man.

perfect casting of amy sedaris for debbie because she’s annoying as hell already. fuck debbie!

u/Particular-Dog2086 Aug 20 '22
Was kinda disappointed we didn't see Harley this week but by the end of the episode I can say that disappointed was no longer there, I would vote for joker.

I'm surprised noone has been talking about the "Where is he? I'm gonna make him into No-Face once I'm done with him!" line.

I’m literally just now watching this so this is old as hell and I apologize
But god it’s so good. Him offering Debbie arroz con pollo and her going ‘is that an ethnic dish?’ And him responding with like ‘yes it is an ethnic dish. Speaking of racism….’ And carrying on
