The Joker and Uncle Scrooge



Even though Scrooge McDuck was created back in 1947, he was rarely featured in animation for several decades.  It wasn't until the mid 80's with Duck Tales and Mickey's Christmas Carol that he became a true cartoon star.  I'm going to have to look around Disney+ to see if they have 1967's Scrooge McDuck and Money available to watch.

  1. I hope Scrooge is in his game because his partner is a bad dude.

  2. dc has the follow-up to the JL story teaser: 3 Jokers finally being done. (Batman was using Metron's chair to learn about Joker's real ID).

  3. Joker must be trying to get some funding for the Gotham City branch of the Citizen V-Battalion.

  4. Nice use of an early Joker to make the art styles mesh, Ross. They don't quite, but the cover does look like what a real one might've looked like had DC and Disney thought to do this actual crossover. Plus, if memory serves, the Joker was more devious than maniacal in those days, which makes the story credible -- and, for me, intriguing enough to want to read.

    @Tobor: I'm wondering how much the story will parallel the Tangent Jokers (of which there were also three).

    @Cary: My above remarks aside, that's not a bad idea!

  5. Was Scrooge McDuck in a patriotic animated short with Donald Duck many decades ago?
