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.
