That Joker look doesn't look much different from Ledger's take.

I am quite sick of Batman and Joker. Pick something else you hacks. You have a massive collections of villains and heroes, do something mildly creative. Pick Space Cabbie or Booster Gold can't hurt given the track record. Picking Space Cabbie can give you a bunch of wild shenanigans as one hero or another takes a ride.

Justice League Action playing Batman as a joke is good. Then there is the Joker episode where he is doing standup for Mongul with really, really bad jokes. Firestrom is unbelievably irritating with his incessant catch phrase(Don't drink game) but Booster Gold episodes are good. If you want your DC hit just watch any of the animated stuff.

Yeah...umm...I actually really don't like Ledger's Joker on a fundamental level. Nothing against his performance, just that his character is a rejected 24 villain, not the Joker. Hell, he's closer to a Live Action Anarky, who amusingly Beware the Batman ALSO tried to use as a stand-in for The Joker.

While I'm pissing everyone off anyway, THE HEAT IS ON! :P

I didn't really like Beware the Batman, and the Anarchy thing was one of the reasons.

...one of the many reasons.

Although it did begin to be slightly enjoyable towards the end.

But, yeah, they were all "We're not going to just tell Batman vs. Joker stories.  We're going to dig deep into Batman's history and use characters that have never seen animation before!", then, they dig up Anarchy - an interesting idea and (and not to get political) a character who could really have had some interesting stories lines.

Then, they made him into Joker Lite.

This.

Was the Mad bomber who bombs at midnight Batman Beyond? That was a very good episode. I am not sure if it was something they dug up but man, it was nice to see something new.

With how great Mark Hamill's performances as Trickster in Flash and the animated Joker, I would love to see him given the chance to do a live action Joker. Give us the Batman Beyond film we have all been asking for and to a re-imagining of The Return of Joker , maybe adding in the elements of the cancelled 2nd Beyond flick involving Cat Woman.

OK, is it Anarchy or Anarky? When I googled him this morning, the latter spelling came up, presumably because it could be trademarked.

I also wasn't a huge fan of that show's Professor Pyg.  Like, they obviously could go the comics route, but the direction they took wasn't doing it for me.

It's Anarky.

Batman Beyond had a character called Mad Stan who was always trying to blow things up in order to protest social issues. He was played more for laughs than a serious thread. Batman the Animated Series had a person called The Mad Bomber in the episode Beware the Grey Ghost (famous for Adam West's roles as the Grey Ghost) but it was just a one-off character who was copying his crime from an episode of the Grey Ghost.


As for the Phoenix Joker movie, I could see him having well defined clown make-up at the start but it getting more smeared and ruined as life falls apart around him if they are taking a page from The Killing Joke and the idea that one terrible day could push a man to madness.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.

I love Mad Stan. He is so damn irrelevant. Blow it all up. Once he's on a rant, he's unstoppable!

Titans will stream on Netflix outside the US.

Seems like DC's superpower is making bad decisions and causing people to hate them.

Didn't care for trailer.  It was trying way too hard to seem self-aware and not actually preview the show.

How else you could tell it was her?

HAHHHAAaa. nice.

I am looking forward to the Harley Quinn show. She needs a stronger accent but otherwise it's looking good. Good on Batman for dropping by and shots fired at Deadpool.

Definitely not **** batman.

I just realised that Harley is voiced by Penny.  That's an interesting choice.

It was mentioned in a comic (I think early Shadow of the Bat) as part of a therapy, criminals were allowed to keep their costumes so that they would be comfortable in familar clothes and eventually shed the costumes as they improved with treatment. I don't think this worked, because later issues showed the patients back in uniforms.
