Comic Joker usually has:
-an army of thugs
-a lair from which he oversees operations
-various weapons of his own
He doesn’t just walk about in broad daylight stabbing people on a sidewalk
That’s like asking why noone shot Al Capone. good luck starring in your own Cartel vid
There is one issue here.
Al Capone didn't have some nutjob turbo ninja in a bat costume who regularly showed up, beat the ever living piss out of him, and then personally delivered him to prison.
You'd think at some point during one of these prison stays, a group of cops or guards who have had enough would just walk up to his cell, shoot him, and then sell it as "He was breaking out again! We had no choice! He was dangerous!"
It's not like anyone is going to start rioting in major cities across the country because some cops may or may not have executed one of the biggest mass murderering time bomb psychopaths in modern history. Like people know that he always gets out. People know that he always commits rampant acts of murder and destruction when he does.
It's genuinely not Batman's responsibility to kill the guy but for frick's sake, make an exception and execute him. He's killed more than enough innocents now for the government to get involved and have this animal put down without any consideration for the state's laws against it.
The stupid thing is, this has happened. Someone framed a death sentence crime that even Joker couldn't plead out of, another sent Deashot after him, etc. ANd always some stupid bullshit or Bruce's boner for clown bussy helps him escape.
>Get it in your head you'll be the hero to kill the Joker
>Go looking for him
>You somehow in the face of impossible odds manage to cross paths with him without any of his goons close enough to stop you
>Joker looks at you as you approach
>This moment, this chance, no matter how hard you may try to keep a poker face you can't completely play yourself off casually as the moment of you destiny looms
>Joker immediately suspects you're up to something from the look on your face
>You pull your gun and before you can shoot he's quickdrawed on you with a boxing glove gun and fired a spring loaded glove to knock the gun from your hand
>You are now defenseless, face to face with the Joker
>And you just tried to kill him
Stay home anon, you'll live a lot longer
homie, how hard is it to fight a mime?
>how hard is it to fight a mime?
I'm sure as the Joker is laughing hysterically while he pounces on you and pins you to the ground to keep you from escaping he'll be asking you something similar to this as he mocks your failed assassination attempt.
There is nothing sadder than a Joker apologist on the internet.
>Joker is laughing hysterically while he pounces on you and pins you to the ground to keep you from escaping
Batman... How could I have been so foolish? I should have known raping the Joker would only add to his derangement and give it an even sicker edge... You were right, Batman. I should have listened....
>homie,
Cringe zoomer
homosexual.
Never watched Xiaolin Showdown, right?
He regularly goes toe to toe with Batman. You must be delusional if you think a regular civilian can take him.
He logically should know how to fight, but I'm struggling to remember the last time he threw hands with batman
Speak well you damn Black folk
>He’s ready for me to try and kill him.
>Best bet is to do something unexpected.
>Move in for the rape.
>Go to rape the Joker
>He's wearing a chastity belt
>"You're not the one I expected I'd need this for, but it looks like I was right to wear protection" He cackles looking over his shoulder at you
...and then joker stopped fantasizing as a single punch from a random man demolished his pathetic crackhead skull.
homie, THE WINNER IS WHOEVER THE WRITERS SAY WINS.
IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO HAS THE BIGGER GUN OR IS FASTER ON THE DRAW.
THE OUTCOME OF THE FIGHT IS PREDETERMINED.
YOU CAN SAY THAT JOKER WOULD WIN OR LOSE AND IT'S EQUALLY POSSIBLE TO JUSTIFY EITHER OUTCOME BECAUSE IT'S A FRICKING STORY YOU WINDOW LICKING moronS.
Noi can mathematically prove that the joker can heem squidward
IT'S NOT ABOUT FRICKING MATH YOU LEAD PAINT DRINKING MORON
IT'S ABOUT NARRATIVE
IF NARRATIVE DEMANDS THAT THE JOKER WINS, THE JOKER WINS
IF NARRATIVE DEMANDS THAT THE JOKER LOSE, THE JOKER LOSES
THAT'S IT
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT
YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT OR YOU CAN PUT THE COMIC BOOK DOWN AND READ A MATH TEXTBOOK INSTEAD
HONESTLY, I THINK YOU'D BE HAPPIER WITH THE TEXTBOOK
THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT WILL IRRITATE YOUR PERSNICKETY NITPICKY INBRED AUTISTIC ASS
>SAVE ME NARRATIVE-SENPAI!
Except that's not how physical strength works anon. Anyone with MMA traing can beat the Joker
The real fantasy part of comics is Gotham Police not straight up executing any of the rogues.
Gotham must be in canada.
It's a shame it could actually be a pretty hilarious plot line of some random cop executing him. Then the rioting unhinged.
Pretty sure Gotham Central did a storyline with that concept and they flat out say they're too afraid to because Batman would probably destroy the entire department and kill who did it.
Batman surely isn't that badly written, right? Why would he schizo out over a mass murderer being shot?
You tell me, anon.
I'm just imagining someone tries shooting the Joker and Batman throws somebody in front of the bullet
it doesn't makes sense. its just plot armor and you know it
>Grab 12 gauge
>Find joker
>Blast a shot into his gut
>Perform a Gallagher on his head
>Give Batman the finger
Go frick yourself.
I'm going to explain this with small words and all caps, to make absolutely sure that you understand, and never have to ask this question again.
IF JOKER DIE FOR GOOD, WRITERS NO CAN USE JOKER NO MORE.
NO CAN SELL JOKER ACTION FIGURE OR T-SHIRT OR LUNCHBOX.
NO KILL GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS.
Do you understand now or should I resort to grunting and gesturing like a caveman?
Actually that’s how I think The Joker should die. No big fight with Batman, just a random guy shoots him while he’s being taken back to Arkham. I’d love it if DC had the balls to do that.
Besides, you could always bring in a new Joker inspired by the original.
>just a random guy shoots him while he’s being taken back to Arkham.
The guy wasn't even trying to shoot the Joker, either, it was just random gang violence and the Joker got caught in the crossfire. Literally the perfect joke to end his life on.
That’s even better. Good job.
I think the Joker should die from self-destructive behaviour at his nadir, having pushed everyone away and lost both his ability and his passion.
The already did that in the Batman: Gotham Adventures comic that adapted TNBA. A rich guy has a relative killed by the Joker and announces a bajillion dollars to whoever kills the clown. Gotham goes ape, and the JoKer loves it. He's actually quite unnerving in that one.
What does he mean don't slash his shorts? Did batman did cun torture on him??
BATMAAAAAAAAAAAAN HELP
HE IS GOING TO DO WIT ME!
Kek
What a b***h! This is the Wisecracker the Justice League is so afraid of?
> tfw you had enough of this clown world crap
Short answer: Batman always saves him when somebody tries.
Never mind a random citizen, how has nobody from Gotham's notoriously corrupt police department just popped this c**t in the back of a squad car yet? No jury would convict him.
Because you have to fight The Joker AND The Batman. I don't think I could win that 2v1. Anons who say they can are bullshitting or dangerously arrogant
Writers are complete shit so villains need massive amounts of plot armor to keep reusing them. can't have some random punk stab him to death in an alley and have no-one care.
I'm more astonished some other rogue has not murdered him. You going to tell me that Riddler would not absolutely destroy this clown for biting his style so hard? BS.
they're not rappers, anon
He's an interdimensional space virus, he can't be killed
>be me
>wake up in Gotham
>dab on the Joker and kill him
>Selena gets wet and marries me
As the narrator of this tale this is all canon, sorry Jokies!
>selena
I never realized she had such a good ass.
What a waste.
Post it on Narou and get an anime adaptation.
This was an idea I had a while back for a comic. Like Joker is committing a crazy scheme or robbing a bank or something, and a regular citizen just shoots him in the middle of it anticlimactically.
>Harley and goons want revenge
>Gotham police force might try to put the guy in a protective program
>All sorts of conspiracy theories on whether or not it was the real Joker or part of some grand plan
>Power vacuum within the underworld
There's a episode of Batman the animated series that does that, except it's a random guy who shoots and seemingly kills Batman. It's all about the underworld reacting to this litwho managing to do what nobody has managed.
Yeah I remember that episode, so basically the same thing but killing Joker instead
Lex just pays deadshot to kill the joker.
If I got the chance to write for Batman I'd love to have the series slowly kill off batman villains by just random lowlifes. Like not even intentional targeted attacks. Joker gets shot by a random junkie trying to steal a cellphone to sell. The riddler catches a stray when a guy who just got fired shoots up a mall. A man shoots his girlfriend and one bullet goes through the paper thin apartment walls and hits catwoman hanging out on a ledge of the building across the street. Batman himself just gets shanked by a random hobo having an episode. Absolutely kino.
BTAS Joker sucked ass, let's be real here.
His episodes were the worst, Harley got more screentime than him.
>Why hasn't some random citizen just shot the Joker
>Shoot Joker
>You're just as bad as Joker
>Get life in Arkham Asylum
>Just a random citizen with no goons so no hope of escape
>if you do, Batman will just punch your balls and put you right back
Joker was just committed to the bit. He never felt any threat from that guy, it was all mind games.
BtAS is great because it remembers that the Joker is still just a regular guy at the end of the day. He's not the immortal avatar of chaos or 12D Chess Playing Super-Sane Mastermind. He's the mobster with a clown theme.
>BtAS is great because it remembers that the Joker is still just a regular guy at the end of the day.
Lol
>He's not the immortal avatar of chaos
Cheated death by shark in The Laughing Fish
Cheated death by falling into a smoke stack in Mad Love
Cheated death by exploding super bomber in STAS crossover World's Finest
Cheated death by bridge fall in the tie in game Batman Vengeance.
Cheated death by fancy consciousness override gadget in Return of the Joker
That's 5 times he cheated very obvious death in just this one iteration of the character.
>or 12D Chess Playing Super-Sane Mastermind.
One of the above deaths required 12D chess maneuvers.
Joker scuttling away when he should have died is part of the same comic book hand-waving that allows Batman to survive multiple poisonings from Poison Ivy without lasting damage and him not paralyzing people for life when he jumps off a roof to hit them.
No, he was just being a coward.
Honestly joker would probably let some literal who kill him if he thought the ensuing shitshow would be funny.
plot armor
Literally just be an average joe watching the Joker dance off from a caper and snipe him with an old common gun. That's the easiest way to get him. Works on Batman, so it ought to work on Joker.
