slk_23 10/30/21 10:23:24 PM #1:	How did "why so serious?" become a huge internet meme? It's not really a clever or funny or memorable line. Back in 2008, the internet took it anyway and ran it to the ground. That line is nowhere near as good as "very poor choice of words," which the Joker said after Batman told him "Let her go." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy5IuLHJtdQ --- https://imgur.com/5ldCA https://imgur.com/tvXx8Bh https://imgur.com/nAJVH https://imgur.com/H5jMv6k <cite>slk_23 posted [p:959548739] in In The Dar...

I feel like if that movie came out today, there would be a better balance of both. --- "The Dragon Ball Super anime is lowering the IQ of the characters so the DB fan base can relate to them better." -Acharyap28 <cite>the0rebirth posted [p:959548796] in In The Dar...

dameon_reaper 10/30/21 10:53:43 PM #11:	I love "Why so serious?" because of the lead up. It was usually because of the stories he'd tell leading up to it. He also had these tics when he'd tell the story and it was just easy to adore it. As a villain, he was so great, but he was definitely not the Joker to me but I didn't care. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:959549482] in In The Dar...
