the
greatest super-hero ever
man-o-man do I heart the Joker. he must
be the greatest super-hero ever. first off, he’s easy to identify with.
what’s his super power? does he fly? does he have super strength? does
he have super healing powers? no, his only super power is his insanity
(or super intelligence according to the psychiatrists in Arkham Asylum
who call him the next stage in human evolution); that’s something pretty
easy to identify with. also he hallucinates all the time (as revealed in
Showcase ‘94 #2), that’s something a lot of us can identify with these
days. second of all the Joker’s admirable. okay, he steals stuff from people...
but why does he do it? he does it to show people they don’t need material
items to prepare them for the coming utopian society (see Going Sane part
3). & the Joker kills people (e.g. Robin), but who doesn’t want to
sometimes? at least he’s honest enough to show his real feelings towards
people he doesn’t think should exist. thirdly, he’s lovable. he’s always
smiling, he’s a snappy dresser, he’s got a great sense of humor, he’s cute
as a button (see also sexy), his name has "the" in it, & of course
he dresses as a clown. the Joker is awesome.
