He's a cool character
He's a lame character

Haven't read any of the stories with him but I dig his look
Well, I can't comment too much on the modern Joker stuff, since I've avoided the character since Death of the Family. But yeah, I can see what you mean; that whole "I'm so crazy it's a superpower" crap. That was building before I started avoiding the character and I can only assume it's gotten worse since. But that's just a result of the Batgod. When Bruce can defeat the entire League using some chewing gum, his archnemesis has to step up his game too.
Like I said, TBWL is every problem with the Batgod taken to its extreme. Not just the problems it causes with Bruce, but with his entire mythology, rogues gallery, etc.

I'm avoiding everything related to him and the Dark Universe, so basically I'm avoiding most of DC is publishing now. I'm waiting for a change of direction.
hate him so much
