Current Events > I love it when Batman writers lean on how batshit (pun intended) insane he is.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was watching Batman Beyond last night. The episode with Shriek and throughout that episode Bruce hears voices trying to convince him to kill himself. The voices were from Shriek.

At the end, Bruce claims he knew the voices weren't his own because he's not psychotic (lol) and what gave it away was that he never calls himself Bruce in his head.

Motherfucker's crazy. I love it.

The full quote is something like:

"How did you know the voices in your head weren't you?"
"Well, first of all, I'm not psychotic."
"...you're gonna have to do better than that."

I've been rewatching the show and I forgot just how damn cool it is in terms of like the style and music, etc.

I've always preferred it over TAS.

i havnt seen a lot of batman stuff but I like it when the joker is less "shitty clown" and more of an equal to batman in terms of smarts and combat skill

I think I prefer when he's an absolute chump in terms of combat. He should be the schemer that Batman can effortlessly take down hand-to-hand.

"He fights weird" is such a lame excuse to keep up with a guy who has invented at least one form of martial arts

less "weird" and more "abnormally pain tolerant, has his own gadgets like knife shoes, equal or better reflexes" etc

I think it's fine if Joker gets some sucker punches in or does some goofy shit with an acid flower or a bag of exploding marbles.

But if Batman gets his hands on Joker, I think that should be it.

Shrek in a Batman show?

That's pretty much what they did with him in "The Batman".
