Callback to the goofy, comics code era whakiness.
Whether it's very effective at all, that's another story entirely. I personally think it's kind of stupid considering what they established as being the atmosphere of Batman around the time.
Also, that's just not realistic behavior. Again, part of the atmosphere, which is "kind of realistic". There are lots of sci-fi gadgets and some magic floating around Gotham, but animals act like animals, etc.
And then you have a gorilla that totes guns and is overly human.
It's kind of stupid.
I mean, I get what they were going for, though. This would have worked better in a less serious, and less realistic batman title though.
>>83661693
What book is it from?
I feel like Grodd would rip Joker apart for this.
>>83661720
I forget, but it was from one of the nu-52 ones. Same general setting as the Court of Owls stuff.
The two should not really coexist. I mean, those guys are pompous and stretch your disbelief (Yes, I know they have physics breaking mutants and an Ice-Dude in Gotham, but still) with the extent and age of their conspiracy, but a Gorrilla that acts like that?
Obviously we are a special kind of nerdy to worry about the finer points of this.
>>83661316
Which of the three Jokers did that?
>>83661693
>Radioactive meter smashes into a jungle
>Gives a Gorrila hyper intelligence and telepathy and makes a dude head huge
>Nobody Bats an eye
>Joker liberates a oppressed animal

Didn't he kill the mom to get the baby gorilla? I forget.
>>83661803
For some reason, I feel like it was the 1st(Golden age) Joker that did it.

The Joker is a better father than Batman

Nah, he just knocked her out with sleeping gas.

The only problem I see is the posing. Standing up totally straight like human would is the problem. If he still moves like a Gorilla I think it'd fly better.

Hey, he was a better sidekick than Harley.
What the hell is up with american comics and gorillas
>>83662764
there was a period in the silver age where they had some sort of evidence that monkeys and apes on covers made the books sell better so....
>>83662029
Or even maybe /pol/ pot?
>>83662785
how? why?
>>83662828
who knows? there's like a list on the internet of all the gimmicks similar to it. I think the hero crying was another one...
>>83662828
Nigga you mean to tell me if you saw a radical gorilla on the cover of something you WOULDN'T buy it?
>>83662866
on one cover yeah
but multiple comics thats just plane weird
>>83662906
>Due to the first rumor, it is also reported that DC Comics was worried about abusing the winning formula, so had an unwritten rule that there could be no more than one gorilla cover per month across all of its titles (except, of course, during the occasional "gorilla month").[5]}
fucking love comics

>>83662536
Gorilla Covers were the "angry readers" of the time. Gorillas moved comics off newsstands better than non-Gorillas.
>>83662979
Good point. It's been 17 years since DC did the JLApe Annual event. It's been long enough they ought to do another.
>>83663329
NTR
>>83661442
Why not just give him a black sidekick? Everyone have a black sidekick lately.
>>83663068
Heh
>>83662332
Well he's not really an ape, but there's Hit-Monkey
>>83663981
Fag
>mfw some faggot claims that "The Joker is insane"
HE IS NOT. THAT'S THE POINT.
The reason why The Joker is Batman's greatest enemy is because The Joker is using the EXACT SAME METHODS as Batman. He's pretending to be an insane criminal to mask the fact that he's a schemer and master strategist.
When Bruce Wayne first began, he failed miserably as an anonymous crimefighter because he was just a man fighting crime. The same skills, ... but the criminals were always confidant they could take him on: he was just another man. So he created the "Bat-man". Suddenly, criminals were scared of what he could do. Many in Gotham honestly believe Batman isn't HUMAN. Others believe that no matter what you do, Batman has a weapon/strategy to stop you. GODMODE VIA PREPTIME. That's how well Bruce Wayne has pulled off the "Batman" concept. Through theatrics and misdirection, Batman cannot truly be predicted.
The Joker does exactly the same. By *pretending* to be insane and commiting ridiculous acts at any random interval, The Joker is *disguising* the fact that he's just another clever criminal. Every step of his plan has been carefully planned through the ingenuity of a Chess Grand Master, but he covers it with seemingly insane moments of random madness. The clothes, the behaviour, the sheer unpredictability... "You cannot predict what The Joker will do". YES YOU CAN. That's why Batman always beats him.
This is why they are arch enemies. The Joker is aware of Batman's methods and works to outmanuever him. Batman also studies The Joker's actions and recognises which were feints and distractions, and which were clues to his REAL plan. A master strategist hero and master strategist villain, using the same methods of misdirection and theatricality to succeed.
...but no, people are all "Joker is Batman's opposite because he's truly insane, and a force of chaos lol".
No. Just... no.

Fuck you.
>not posting the best part of the entire comic
>>83663329
He realized, no matter how much he hated it, no matter how many times he told himself he would never do it, he had to rape that ape.
>>83663068
and it was trained BY THE JOKER
>>83662332
TITANO, MOTHERFUCKER
>>83663068
The gorilla is a fucking scientist but you're impressed by his trigger discipline.
>>83662948
Ayyyyy

He literally murdered that kids mom and then laughed when he supposedly drowned

Wait...is he about to tearfully attempt to bomb the Joker?
>>83665983
>batman pinning down a fucking gorilla
>with one arm
fucking what?
>>83666173
Iirc, he was supposed to bomb some people on dirigible but he changed mindand jumped into river and killed himself.
>>83666284
He's Morrison's OC, don't worry about it.
>>83665983
Speaking of scientists... Just look at Joker at top left, reading glasses and all.
>>83666064
He was genuinely distraught about it, he started laughing to hide the pain.
>>83662333
How?
>>83661340
Harambe's wife and son. Joker feels empathy for them because a little nigger shit was the cause of Harambe's demise and now they're alone.

/k/-fags
>>83661693
Dressing up like a bat and punching muggers in the dick isn't realistic either
>>83667260
Blacks can be scientist and Gorillas are smarter than blacks so I dunno why I should be impressed? Still never saw a black having trigger discipline.
>>83662029
Is that supposed to be out of costume Harley? Was she bitten by a nosferatu?
>>83666441
>he dindu nuffin
>>83661316
is he gonna rape it?
>>83667735
He actually helped the kid and then protected him from the angry mob
>>83667497
No, New 52 Joker has had multiple Harleys/gun molls. I imagine in this case it's a reference to how the villains in the 60s series would have different henchwomen in their episodes.
>>83667301
All those black police officers just don't exist I guess
>>83667782
yea, he wuz kang.

Titano was chimpanzee, not a gorilla.

>>83669131
Don't send your monkeys out into space, yo.
>>83664313
Joker is batshit insane Batman is mentally unbalanced not because he dresses up as a bat but because of his reaction to his parents death and that whole can't kill without stoping thing.
People who think its just an act with the joker are wrong
>>83661610
God fucking dammit
>>83661442
Did this ever go anywhere?
I feel like the Joker could be a really interesting character if they made him, well, an actual CHARACTER instead of the ultimate personification of anarchy and chaos and blah blah blah.
>>83662598
i don't get it
>>83662448
There's so much emotion in his eyes in that last panel, it's fucking perfect.
