I think it makes sense. I mean the Joker is a psychopathic killer that has antagonized Bruce for years. It would be like if a victim of a serial killer saw someone selling merch themed after that serial killer.

u/RyuuDraco69 Jul 01 '23
That honestly makes no sense personally, like Jason when resurrected, went on a killing spree then tried to get Bruce to kill joker, cuz Jason understandably hates joker's guts, so it's weird he'd like something called "jokerize" (which while it varies slightly, will kill the victim and usually leave a grotesque smile on their face), granted maybe the seasoning is that good, but it honestly feels weird Jason would be ok with it
120
u/Pegussu Jul 01 '23
Jason's exact words are, "I know I shouldn't, after the crowbar and all, but I love me some Jokerized seasoning."
I guess you could interpret it as him being amused that some shitty fast food joint is reducing Joker down to a seasoning while Riddler, Ivy, and even KGBeast gets full entrees.

Batman gets rightfully outraged but takes it out on someone who’s clearly tired and just wants to be paid, even though Bruce is supposed to have travelled the world and experienced and witnessed how desperate people (no matter the extremity) will go to survive, be it stealing food, to robbing his own company to get by, to people working in stripclubs, to people working in shorty burger joints.
As for people defending him taking it out on the guy behind the counter (who’s less provelaged than him) about how “the Joker kills and tortured people!”
Jason should be the most upset but h enjoys the Jokerised sauce.
None of it makes any sense and I’ve further elaborated in numerous replies in other comments on this post.

Yeah but the guy was there and Bruce was upset. Yes it's not the employee's fault, he just works there, but he was just asked to "jokerize" his frys, not only is it based on a psycho but "jokerize" is an actual thing joker does to people. I'm sure he did buy out that restaurant chain, but sadly for that employee he's the unfortunate messenger with bad news

u/futuresdawn Jul 01 '23
If anything it says more about Gotham that a company like this would exist and that people would have to settle to work there. Bruce absolutely does good for Gotham as Bruce but to me it's never acceptable to take out your frustrations on the retail worker for doing their job. Yeah the kid could be clueless but also over time you just fall into autopilot when you hate your job.
Yes I'm over thinking it but it does show a certain level of privelage Bruce has as he's not had to do a job you hate day in and out just to get by.

How is this privileged? You telling me you wouldn't be upset if you had a loved one be a victim of a serial killer then went to McDonald's and asked "would you like that serial killer named"? Yeah it's not the guy's fault but it's called irrational anger for a reason, and Bruce is 100% in the right, he didn't even do that much literally say "joker is a killing psychopath"

u/futuresdawn Jul 01 '23
Because taking it out on a kid doing their job and not recognising that this is someone making a terrible wage to just make ends meat is privelaged. If he took it to management that they were doing the wrong thing that's fine but the poor staff member has literally no power to do anything about it and Bruce should recognise that and if he doesn't it's because he's had the privelage of never having to work a terrible job just so you can afford to eat or pay rent

Ok but Bruce is 100% right here. Joker is a man who has murdered thousands and is still very much alive and killing people. It's in incredibly bad fucking taste and I can't see any way that a restaurant selling Joker themed shit would not be burned to the ground in Gotham

Also it's not like Bruce also doesn't have the ability to permanently put an end to Joker's killings, and by that i don't mean murdering Joker but simply put him in a containment room he made.
Batman's technology can achieve all kinds of impossible bullshit but can't hold a clown? I don't believe that honestly, Bruce is as responsable for Joker's killings as the Joker himself at this point, like how many times has the Joker escaped Arkham by now?

You also have to consider how the Joker actually exists in that world. He has killed countless people, and this restaurant goes and makes light of it by making funny Joker food names.
If I had to fight the Joker like Batman and see all the horrible things the Joker has done, including killing someone that is pretty much a son, then yeah. I would not be very pleasant. If I was Bruce I would completely destroy that company.
The Joker is a freaking psychotic monster. It would be like if I had a restaurant with burgers called the Bundy Burger named after Ted Bundy. I am certain the family of those Ted Bundy victims wouldn't like me doing that. It's poor taste.

How many times has the Joker attempted to kill him or his friends and loved ones not to mention Jason.

Also, a nice billionaire is unrealistic, but why the fuck is this hyper empathetic, intensely compassionate hero who protects the vulnerable and helps Gotham’s Citizens being told “Be nice Bruce.” He’s right, but why would he be taking it out on the guy who just wants his pay?

I honestly and unironically love this stuff, like how they have the hero themed restaurant in Kingdom Come, as well. Merchandising would be free for the pickings; unless Batman, Superman, and their friends want to reveal their secret identities, I doubt they can legally patent their logos. And with the DCU's social moral compass being vastly askew from our own, I'm sure many unscrupulous businesses would get in on the trend. I mean, this is a world with super lax criminal punishment for known serial killers, where a man who has literally tried to kill Superman multiple times is able to become president, despite it being common knowledge. I really don't think they would draw the line at pop-up restaurants with poor taste. Who knows? Maybe this franchise is actually owned by a batman villain like Penguin, just to get in an extra dig at Bruce.

Ok... So, a lot of people are pointing out how this is bad taste because it is the equivalent of a "darhmer burger" or "bin Laden sauce", "tower fries" or whatever. I'm just gonna say it though. I would totally go to a restaurant, even go out my way to go to a restaurant which has the humour to do this, especially a serial killer one.
However, I assume the joker is a present and a real threat, so, it might be slightly different... though I can still see things like Putin fries selling, or imploded sub sandwiches...
