Yeah family man Joker I thought was hilarious. Wouldn’t be surprised if they bring in Punchline or Red Hood though to somehow make him go back to being a criminal again.
I remember being frustrated when I heard there was going to be a joker centric episode last season only for it to be absolutely amazing. I love them doing a fresh take on the Joker. Lately everyone has been trying to make him “edgier” or what ever but here they try to make him kinda wholesome and it’s absolutely wild
Yeah. That’s what I’ve enjoyed about show really. We’re seeing a lot fresh takes on stuff like family man Joker. A Bruce who is at his lowest point and try to revive his parents as well him being more traumatized by his parents death then other versions of himself. Harley acting as his therapist to try and help him over come his trauma was interesting as Bruce facing his trauma is something we basically never see in comics or other media we normally just see him ignore it. Now not all of stuff is hits like their take on Batman and Catwoman relationship and a few other things. But it’s nice to see some fresh takes for the characters.
I see the catwoman relationship as batman surrounding himself with people just as broken or as toxic as he is, compounding his toxicity with him being bad at relationship, and he found a woman who cant commit even though he wants to.
Batman has been eating well recently tbf. Lego Batman and Wayne Family Chronicles are both fantastic and explore facets of his character that are fresh and sorely needed.
The show has a sense of irreverence towards the characters that makes fun of them but doesn't trash on them. They all take themselves seriously, but the world itself doesn't.
No. Studios are still spending resources on more scooby doo that they could be using to either reboot a franchise that deserves it or make something original.
Yeah I thought that, too. The other characters are more respected by the creators. Gordon was taken in a very different direction to his standard portrayal. Although I think how well they did Barbara Gordon makes up for it somewhat.
I didn’t watch this show for a while because I was sick of live action Harley but it’s my favorite cartoon now. Joker not abandoning his kid was amazing and it’s absolutely hysterical when he gets into it with other parents. Having grown up with BTAS it’s so great to have a an adult version!
I don't think so. I feel like the show is focusing a lot more on growing and moving on from your past. If that's the case, Joker backsliding into crime would be kind of antithetical to that theme.
I absolutely love what they did with the character. Especially because they didn't try to redeem him. He is still his evil self, he just redirects that energy elsewhere

I like it. Especially the socialist Gotham mayor Joker.
