Batman who laughs

[SixSpeedSamurai]

The fact that so many people hate him means he's a good villain

This isn't professional wrestling.

[Bad Witch]

I like the barman who laughs. I find comic fans funny as hell. "Dc needs to do something different" dc does something different " Dc needs to stick to the basics" it never fails.

I'm new here and in this thread I have multiple people on my ignore list. Having read through a hundred pages it's clear to me who these people are here.

Is BWL a bit over exposed? Yeah but who cares. I found all of dark knights metal refreshing and fun. I'm digging metal and will continue to because as much as I'm a dc fanboy I don't sweat when they try new stuff. I love punchline, I love metal, I love all of it because it's fresh. It's different. For help me if 20 years from now people are still pineing away for grant morrison ..yikes!!!

As far as a movie verson? That would be hard to pull off. I'd laugh my ass off if Zack Snyder gets to do a justice league sequel and includes him. That would piss so many people off haha

[adrikito]

I want BWL to never appear again. I never want a movie

Same.

I like the Joker but.. This Idiot BWL was so annoying and UNFORTUNATELY he died and left us one UNKNOWN SUCESSOR.

.. I can´t see him as one good villain. I enjoyed LEX GROUP in Forever Evil and some comics with villains like DEATHSTROKE but this BWL... I would like start 2021 without anything related with him or that Perpetua.

Toss him and Harley Quinn in the ass end of the Phantom Zone.

I love a good villain.

You know that old far Side cartoon where a bunch of dunks could stand on each other's shoulders in a trenchocat and pretend to be a person?

The Batman who laughs is like that. He's Batgod fanwank combined with Joker fanwank pretending to be an actual character.

And maybe instead of a trenchoat he's dressed up like an extra from Hellraiser or Judge Dredd.


On a separate note, we really need a nickname like Batgod or Batjerk for when Joker is written horribly (which is about 90% of the time now.)

[Vakanai]

I'd like to see him in one of the animated movies.

How about Flat!Joker?

I like Batman in trench coat actually (much better than outside panty) but I think DC made Batman trechcoat reserved for evil Batmen, like Demonic Damian Batman future, Tim's Savior Batman costume and this Batman Who Laugh.

How about Flat!Joker?

JokerBoomer?

No. There's a difference between a villain I want to see get beaten and a villain I don't want to see at all.

I love seeing Batman beat the Joker. I actively avoid reading comics with edgelord Batman in them.

[Nero]

My main gripe with the Batman Who Laughs is that it's such a lazy concept. It would be like combining Batman with the Scarecrow and calling him the Dark Fright. Come on, man.

There is no difference between these two things
You have fooled yourself into thinking that an absence of any villain is more enjoyable than seeing a villain you don't like get beat.
Its like a lot of you are stuck in this 360 logic where DC is forcing something on you. This is literally the most simple form of storytelling

There's a big difference.

In one case the character is in the comic. Whether he gets beat or not, he's still there. If you don't like the character at all, whether he wins or looses doesn't matter. He's taking up space.

Of course there’s a difference. One story I buy and read, the other I don’t.

Make it make sense
You are buying a story either to see a villain you don't like get beat or read more about a hero you like or some form of enjoyment
You aren't buying something because you have no interest in what's in it.

Pure apathy and not caring about something is the best way to regard the BWL if the latter is the case. The more I see people talk about the character however I gauge that the former is where people are because that's not apathy

That's right. I have no interest in edgelord batman. I actively avoid stories he's in. He's got xpac heat.
