Clownhunter Appreciation Thread 2020

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

Clownhunter and Anarky are different enough to exist together, even to become mentee's/surrogates of Jason together (where such a thing be allowed to come to pass).

I don't see Anarky caring about Jason enough to learn from him unless its how to fight.

Anarky isn't a vigilante because of trauma, he's a vigilante because of philosophy.

Plus i think Anarky is older than Bao and closer to Jason in age so i don't see Anarky and Jason having that dynamic.

Honestly, not sure how Anarky came into the conversation.

Anarky is typically the same age as Tim Drake (who might still be 16 at this point), so I don't think that Bao is much younger.

But if I see how poorly Jason is typically handled by the Batman writers, I doubt that he will play a huge role in Bao's story.

I thought Bao teaming up with Anarky would be interesting.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

Coulda sworn someone compared the idea of either Anarky or Clownhunter going under Jason's tutelage, as if such an idea was a one or the other thing.

And going from Aahz was saying, Bao wouldn't far from Anarky's age (because he's meant to be the same age as Tim, who is likely frozen at 16). Bao is thin, with a scrawny but sinewy build, and on the short side, but he's still meant to be a teen himself, likely 14-15 or so.

I don't think Boa and Anarky really fit.

Bao main goal is to kill Joker and his henchmen.

Lonnie goes (at least in the classic Alan Grant Version) mostly after corrupt politicians and businessmen, tries to change society and was at least in later stories opposed to violence.

I can see both of them work well with Jason, Bao due to his hate for his Joker and his brutal methods, Lonnie due his unconventional methods and his anti-establishment angle. But between Boa and Lonnie I don't see much of an overlap.

I would love to see Clownhunter beat up a joker gang like Battinson did in his trailer.

I don't think Clownhunter's very smart. Googling "how to make a homemade bomb" sounds like a great way to get put on the FBI watchlist.

He's in comic book land, so that'll be the least of his worries.

From today's Batman, right? If so, haven't read it yet. Though Clownhunter lost to Harley (no surprise in and of itself, of course, with Harley's plot and popularity armor), how did it go in practice? After all, it's more about the context of the bought in cases like these.

Also, Bao's age being 17 is definitely interesting. People assumed he was younger, myself included. Some way younger. Turns out, Bao is just on the shorter side. Combined with his build, it makes him seem like he's younger than he is.

Given that Clownhunter's only armed with a modified bat, a grudge and zero training, I think it's unfair to say that Harley was protected by plot armor.

Clownhunter is more pragmatically capable and tenacious then he may seem. That's why I say context is the most important thing in these cases.

Regardless, truth of what you're saying being what it is, Harley still naturally has plot/popularity armor. (Though to go much further would start to go off topic to this thread.)
