Keep in mind it's capeshit, martial arts are super powers and the Robins get trained well. They're more than capable of going toe to toe with most of what Batman deals with, Joker's just on another level.
Also worth noting that "I should've had a gun" is certainly a lesson he took to heart when he was resurrected lmao
Oh, in that case it's totally cool good and fine that Batman turned this child into an accomplice for his vigilantism. And how is the joker on another level? He beats Robin up with a crowbar, so the martial arts cant be doing that well.
... I don't even read the comics but it's pretty clear that the reason the joker can beat him up with a crowbar is because the joker is "on another level" and the other villains they fight cannot, in fact, beat him up with a crowbar. It's a superhero comic, they're unrealistic and goofy. That's why I don't read them.
Then leave my silly questions alone
Joker is a better martial artist, therefore martial arts are worthless and also Joker can't be unusual? what?
I have learned from various Kung fu movies that once you master whatever technique you study, whether normal martial arts or crowbar you suddenly do become capable of inhuman things
I still find him annoying as the Red Hood, but what are you gonna do?
What if Red Hood was a guy who spread communism and made his 'hood red?
It's still a better communist superhero than most of the other ones the big two have come up with
KGBeast?
Never portrayed as anything but an unrepentant villain
He's tried to kill batman, p based
was that movie really bad, where superman is stalin's son? i always meant to watch it because people told me it was good
The comic is much better
The movie does a lot of anti-communist stuff that wasn't in the comic and doesn't add anything to the story
it's better if you turn it off before capitalism saves the day, but i don't like to do that with media because it reminds me of nazis who just watch the first half of American History X
Check out my sick Superman movie trilogy outline in the mega. If you know somwone with several billion for funding i can get to work. Or contact DC for a comic version, it'll be cheaper
Will do!
You seem to know comics in general a lot more so any ideas or things to read to get it from essentially this to a full treatment and then maybe ill just draw the damn thing myself.
