Reading just a couple of posts back...


...I have realized what a bad understanding I've had of the continuum of the DC comics. I apologize for talking about things I did not understand. But hey, we're all learning, right?

I am talking a lot with one of my dear friends (not shit) and he informs me about a lot of comic related things. We exchange points, opinions and facts. It's pretty good.
But now, I cannot help but weep for my babies! I can live with Harley's new outfit, and I might just need to, but I just do not know what way there could be to fix the Joker by now. Will his face be strapped on like that forever? 

And what about Deadpool (suddenly Marvel) and his healings factor? Will it ever return? Probably. I mean, it would be out of character to let him be alive as long as he is not immortal. All Deadpool wants is to die. And they can't kill the character off. Not because of his fanbase, but because no comic book character simply stays dead.
#Fact.
I know that I stand in no position to criticize changes and development of characters way older than me, especially in this case, with Deadpool. He did not have that healing factor to begin with, as far as I know.


Now Søren's “most characters return to their roots” is as uncomforting as it is, well, comforting. 
Joker and Harley returning to their rots = kewl.
Deadpool returning to his roots = he just did. But I feel that his healings factor is a too fundamental part of his character by now, that you cannot simply take it away. I mean, it’s not really Rob Leifeld’s character anymore….or?

On the other hand...they teared Joker's face off. So what the fuck do I know anymore?

I know jack. Obviously. 

I am just going to cry on Søren's knee and eat his food till I know something again.

[Yong Justice episode 13] - Joker reaction

So, I just watched episode 13 of YUNGU JUSUTISU (japanese accent by the way. Couldn't tell? Well fuck you then.)
The Joker appeared! And honestly, it got me excited. (I was excited to see Ivy too, but not as much.) And instantly I couldn't wait to hear his voice. And so I did. And honestly;
I WAS DISAPOINT.
I had expected all of the newer Jokers to take inspiration from Mark Hamill, but let me tell you why I was wrong.
First of all, it's just the reality I want, because I'm a huge Mark Hamill-fag (B:TAS contains my favorite Joker ever) and in The Batman, Kevin Micheal Richardson was obvilously trying to get the same feel as Mark Hamill, which he did great, by the way. And The Joker in Arkham Asylum/City, got crazy popular, so I guess I kindda expected all Jokers after that to be..well, like that!



But I forgot to consider Batman: The Brave and the bold. They tried to bring some of the old Batman elements back. I did a little Joker-voice-reaserch and it occurred to me that, not only did they make Joker's character design more retro, but also his voice.
AAAANNNND the voice of The Joker is actually pretty similar to the one in The Brave and the Bold. So I thought: "They tried to bring back some retro elements, why shouldn't Young Justice?" This concerns The Joker mostly, even tho, of course, I am not sure if that was what they were going for, so I'm kindda just guessing.
But they DID include Jay Barrick, so maybe they are trying to bring back some good ol' school DC.
Okay, I'm really just fooling around now, lol.

              Legends of the Dark Knight - 1950   Batman The Brave and the Bold - 2008
                            Micheal McKeen                                      Jeff Bennet 
This is a very extreme examble, not all Jokers looked like that until 1992.


My point is that I just can't get enough of that Jedi, and I want every Joker to be like him. I should might as well give up, since no one can do it like him, and he won't be doing it again. And, to be completly honest, a lot of good Jokers sounds unlike Hamill, like the one from The Red Hood. Oh well, every Joker has his own voice and brings a new persona with it, and that's okay, it wouldn't be fun otherwise.
There is ONE THING tho..
