Return of Mr. J in comics
Words cannot express my love for these two pages.

Upcoming Gotham City Sirens preview can be found here: http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2009/09/25/will-the-joker-cross-paths-with-the-gotham-city-sirens/

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.

I'm LOL'ing at the juxtaposition of his melodramatic tantrum and the sheer amount of pictures he has of Harley that he has to destroy. Also the fact that he has a Harley doll.

But I think this solves the mystery of how Mr. J is coming back in comics. (Wearing the ol' zoot suit, and not a new costume. Coughcoughcough) EDITED To add: I LOL'd over this. Alley-catting means gang banging. HAHAAHAHA. That's hilarious.

	OMG, so excited! (Especially since--I swear--when I heard Harley had been kidnapped by Hush in Sirens, if this signaled Joker getting involved...and apparently because he's ~~super jealous~~insulted by Harley's apparent dalliance with Wayne...) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	raises hand The Joker was around during Bruce's unmasking and the like during RIP, so technically he knows who Batman is now, and by extention that he must be dead because he's been replaced, right? (Reply to this)

If this isn't some sort of imposter, I'll be greatly peeved at Dini pulling off his usual "I STILL WRITE FOR THE DCAU" bullshit. It's like the man has the mental equivalent of his fingers in his ears, and it's just juvenile. This is just as bad as Ultimate Pyro being written as an evil rapist in Ultimates 3.

I'm not about to start the "Morrison's Joker Is Better/Worse" debate...it's just, you know. Continuity should be continuity. Just up-and-reintroducing the Joker like this, without any explanation as to how he got his scars fixed or why he hasn't been in direct competition with Black Mask or Two-Face or reacting to Batman's death or the emergence of a new Batman and a new Red Hood or why he hasn't been doing, you know, anything notable lately - that's either very stupid, very lazy, very arrogant, or some horrifying combination of all three.

Poor show, Dini. But then again, that's not very surprising.

	Crap. I had an idea that Harley could try to be friends with Bruce (to his annoyance), after he got her parolled. But if this is happening I'm not sure that could happen. (Reply to this)

	Heh, methinks he doth protest... That's so sweet. She padded her what? I always thought she filled out a bit after the jump from the DCAU... Oh! Her PART. Sorry about that, nothing to see here. Oh, my Zod, I hate TMZ. I hope the Joker gives the whole room a nice big dose of permanent smile. (Reply to this)

if this was before RIP and Batman dying, then there would be nothing wrong . . . but given what took place, this feels horribly out of place imo

I really wanted Batman's death to seriously make Joker go crazy (well, crazier) - I figured that he would either flip out the second he saw Dick and realized that he wasn't the original batman, or he would turn out to be the red hood

:p
damn it, this is just disappointing

	Interesting callback to the 1989 BATMAN movie with the Joker using an extending boxing glove on the TV. (Reply to this)

Concerning Joker's lack of reaction over Batman's death, there is his delusional insanity to consider. There was one comic where it suggested that Joker believes he's already killed Batman a few times, but that there have been replacements. If so, the current situation would be just "Been there, done that" to him. Either that, or he'll convince himself Dick was always the real Batman.

That's the fun part of such an insane villain as the Joker: you can explain a lot with just saying "Well, he's frickin' nuts."

	TMZ in the DCU? Makes sense. Hope nothing bad was said about Stargirl. Yes, I have watched TMZ. Look, it been either that or Fox News! Lesser of two evils! (Reply to this)

	cold_nostalgia 2009-09-26 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Surely it would have been better if Joker made his big dramatic comeback in one of the core bat-titles, or when Bruce comes back. I'm not that big a fan of Morrison's Joker but a least there would be some kind of continuity. As much as I liked Dini's run on Detective, could someone please tell him that DCUA ended years ago?
