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.

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.

	This . . . it's just so random. I feel like I missed something . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's, and I hesitate to make two such comparisons twice in one discussion...but it's what I would have expected to see in Rulk. "Looky Here, Everybody! My Nice Little Pet Mary-Sue Gets To meet Her Big Daddy-Sue! Lolz!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OK, wait, what? I hope you're not calling HQ a Mary-Sue. :-/ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her and Zatanna. It's plain as day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...OK. Except that Zatanna isn't Dini's creation, first of all. And what? OK. So my basic understanding of a Mary-Sue is that it's a character that can do no wrong, everyone loves her, etc., etc. And you're equating Harley Quinn to that? Is that what I'm getting? ....Ooookay. Except that she has some major, major flaws. And isn't exactly liked by everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More likely from the entirety of his run on Detective, Countdown, and what we've seen of him in this pathetic replacement for BoP and that pathetic replacement for Gotham City Central. Oh, and that horrible cheesecake series of his I flipped through once whose name I could never remember. I'm glad I live near a Library and didn't have to pay for his stuff.

	Yeah, well, it's always possible that this topic will be mentioned, but its lack of mention in the preview makes me suspect that it's not likely to have a major part in the issue as a whole. And it would take a prominent part to satisfy me. I'm just picky like that. Doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the issue otherwise, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)
