I thought that I would do a follow up to the first Spidey/Joker back in STF #3917. I wondered there how The Joker would react to a hero that's even better at wisecracking than he is. Well, maybe he would lean into it and try to make a protégé out of Peter... which leads us to this cover.
A NEW TWIST!!!!!!!!! Joker could try this. Those toxins with the radioactive spider bite?
ReplyDeleteEven Green Goblin wouldn't try it like this. What a story potential.
As I recall, from that "Batman Beyond" movie, the Joker didn't like being out-quipped at all. Especially when he was the one being laughed at!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder what would happen if Batman was ever at Princess Python's "mercy"?
Cary has a point, about Joker not liking being out-quipped. He'd develop a quick obsession with Spidey, and I'm sure this would be one of the things he'd try with him. He probably would also make use of the Sinister Six, and might even "turn" Wilson Fisk -- and that thought by itself is pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteThat last part probably could be explored on this blog, but what would one name an Amalgamated Joker/Kingpin character? "Punch"?
"Rigoletto" might be more fitting.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ross could tack it on to an image of Luthor-as-the-Joker from the Superman-as-Batman Elseworlds Annual called "Speeding Bullets" (copyright 1993).
ReplyDeleteA quick Wed search indicates he was on Earth 1 pre-Crisis and more recent on Earth-zero (current continuity).
ReplyDeleteYeah! But, he has yet to debut on Earth-STF. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe sequel should be Spiderman and Terry McGinnis Batman both known for the wise cracking. Terry defeated including the resurrected Joker using wise cracks.
