r/joker

Dr. Evil as a criminal master could easily read news of events happening in Gotham City and ask Number 1 to hire him to kill Austin Powers or recruit him in one of his schemes, Fat Bastard, Random Task, Musfa and Goldmember would all have a new coworker and buddy until The Joker made fun of them or laughed at Dr. Evil for being a really bad joke.

He first mentions it when he explains how he got his scars to Gambol, then when he crashes the penthouse party. When he tells the old man that he reminds him of his father, and how he hated his father.

The second mention seemed like there was some emotion behind it, but that may just be part of the manipulation.

I just found it interesting that he brought it up twice how his father wasn't someone he liked, I can't think of another thing he mentioned multiple times like this.

Just some food for thought I guess.

One of the common theories on the joker's background in the Dark Knight, was that he is ex-military. Given his knowledge of explosives and firearms, especially given his "truck load of soldiers" comment, it seems rather compelling at first.

But It really depends on what we mean by "ex-military" because if he served in any modern/NATO military. His identity would be known, especially if it was the US military.

The US takes your fingerprints, identity, background and likely your DNA with all the blood tests they do.

But Gordon specifically mentioned they have no matches on prints, DNA, or dental.

So either the Joker was part of some ultra special unit with his record scrubbed. Which if the Navy Seals can have their records pulled, idk how much I buy that.

Or he wasn't part of the Western world's military, he may have been a mercenary but a lot of mercenaries have a uniformed background. Or he was part of some other Eastern/Global South military.

My point is when the Joker was arrested, if he had a military background his identity would likely be found relatively quickly.

Instead the joker has an almost supernatural level of anonymity, given the 2008 world.

Whatever his background he's clearly proficient in many areas.

I didn't watch it but everyone said it's terrible and boring, makes me wonder why? Why they made it like that?

I randomly saw a video talking about the movie Gremlins and how the creator hated the idea of sequels, he was pressured to make a sequel so he had it intentionally bad and a parody of itself as a middle finger for the studio.

I wonder if it's the same case here.

I’m getting a joker tattoo in August and am looking for iconic joker comic book panels as reference pictures. Would love to see some ideas! I’ll be getting it done by an artist that does awesome comic style tattoos.
