another subject: I assume gotham is in america, yes?
I mean, I'm not one for EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A GUN laws
but if you live in gotham
you should probably HAVE A GODDAMN GUN at all times
I wouldn't walk out of my house unless I was wired with explosives
everyone gets fucking taken hostage like 2 times a year guaranteed
You pull out a gun in Gotham, it will probably get frozen, or you'll get a playing card lodged in the barrel, or you'll shoot them and they will be a robot, or dodge because they are a master of time, or vaporize the bullet before it gets to you.
Even if its just thugs, there is always at least a single thug standing directly behind the nervous, gun-toting civilian. Without fail.

PFFT
Gotham city has between 10 and 30 million people, someone's going to eventually shoot joker in the fucking face
And he isn't so much torturing as he is punishing you for lying
"Stop lying" he says, as he breaks your wrist

it's weird to think that with the viewership that threads get, this series of posts have inspired, or at least will help to inspire (with other factors accumulating) at least ONE person

are we having the why doesn't someone just kill joker conversation
i imagine for the same reason no-one just kills batman, there are lots of people trying to but he has ninja powers and no-one knows where he is at any given time
any normal human trying to snipe the joker would discover the real joker sneaking up behind him to yell BOO
batman has a pathological aversion to killing people. superman's too secretly jesus to do it. wonder woman would do it, though. wonder woman teams up with commissioner gordon to kill the joker is a story i'd like to read.
If you kill the Joker then you become no better than he is
If I only kill Joker and then go back to being a decent citizen I think I'm a good deal better than him.
The real reason is best said by Dustin Hoffman: What would the world be like without Captain Hook?
Pretty much the same since he lives on another plane of existence and hasn't interacted with the world for centuries
Peter Pan definitely sounds like more of a grey area, because Pirates and Lost Boys kill each other. It's more of a war than terrorist acts by the pirates. (In Hook, Rufio said "The only grownups are pirates. We kill pirates." A weird, all-encompassing death warrant that might include the ship's chef who wouldn't harm a fly [who i just made up].)
Also, who fucking cares if you piss off Batman? He's not going to KILL you. Worst thing that happens, he arrests you and turns you in. And then what? What jury would convict the guy who shot Mr Freeze in the face? The whole thing would just be like,
Sir, how could you do such a wonderful service for our fair city?
Well, Judge, I guess I'm just ice cold.

Get caught mugging an old lady? Eh, you'll get some high-rise bondage action, maybe. Cop catches you?
They have guns. You will be arrested.
Paperwork-wise a little dizziness is the easy street.

JOKER'S PLANNING TO BLOW UP CITY HALL IN 10 MINUTES, I KNOW, I'M A CRIMINAL
and batman friggin lets you go and leaves
it'll never be true, but batman can't take that chance
PFFT

And then he casually breaks your shin bones until you stop lying
He doesn't kill but that doesn't mean that he won't leave you unable to eat solid food
AND if you try to murder him and fail, there's a GOOD chance joker's going to be like
holy shit you just do not give a fuck, you need to be on my team
and then you're like shit yeah
and you take over the subway with laughing robots
guys I just want to be a supervillain so bad
batman gets off on torture, even though he, as a detective, knows that it's famously unreliable
batman KNOWS you're lying, eh?
mmmhmmm
And he isn't so much torturing as he is punishing you for lying
"Stop lying" he says, as he breaks your wrist

so he'll casually torture people, to the effect of them being crippled for life, but won't kill anyone?
yikes
that's a fucked up moral compass, you crazy billionaire
But he promised me power beyond my wildest dreams he was just going to electrocute me in my sleep, wasn't he?
but the foot in the door is all I need, mista J
Every time I hear "Mista J" in the new Batman game I just want to snap her neck
You put enough people in a situation where they are about to be killed by lapel-acid, one of them is going to get some dumb luck.
I want this
I never knew how much i wanted this until right now
good on ya charlie
huh?
