Ruhollah Al- Khomeini
I love this dialogue.
JFC that's gross. Turning an entire nation into literal comic book villains.
the Libyans were villains in back to the future
They were the heroes who sold Sox Brown the Plutonium so he could invent time travel. Doc Brown ripped them off.

Reel Bad Arabs was an eye-opening doc. I never even thought twice about that scene before they rubbed my nose in it.
I used to have a joke about how Hollywood had Italians playing Indians (Natives) and later Indians (from India) playing Arabs. The solution? We all just keep shifting over one seat westward. The Natives get to play the actual Indians from India, the Arabs get to play Italians and Romans, everyone has a part.
It was the 80s
Iran could literally employ the Joker and they still wouldn't be as comic book evil as Bibi and Trump.
The Joker actually got angry and turned on the red skull because he said he may be evil but he's not siding with a Nazi, so yeah, checks out
you can't just drop a tvtropes link like that, people have weekend plans.

So glad comics back in the day weren't political 
Keep in mind this happened immediately after he beat a 12 year old Jason Todd with a crowbar and then blew him up with a bomb
And that's why I read comics
Yep they first time I read death in the family, which is hyped as this super serious emotional batman story, I got to this part and couldn't stop laughing
Oh yeah, it's a hell of a swerve
And this is coming from someone who voted for Jason to die
Do we have a nom Chomsky emoji that stands in for being old? Cause I thought I was one of the more elderly users before now
It was one of the first times I used the phone, so I must have been like 4?
I remember calling the line and it being like "Your vote for Jason Todd to die has been counted, we hope you can live with this decision... because he won't!"
we hope you can live with this decision... because he won't!"
Did you demand your money back post Lazarus pit?
I should have!
You were holding life and death in your hands at age 4? That must have felt cool. Also I did a quick look for thst recording from the line cause I really wanna sample it
My parents were kind of lax when it came to supervising my media intake
My favorite movie as a kid was RoboCop
Wore down the bootleg VHS my dad bought from a guy who sold them in the parking lot of the factory he worked at

12? Damn, Batman really should not be sending him to fight adult criminals, at least let Robin have a gun, I dont care how trained, a 12 year old isnt going to be a phyacial match for someone who has hit puberty. I figured homie was 15 at the minimum. Not only is that horribly cruel to Robin, but it means he wouldnt really be useful either. Ever been punched by a twelve year old as an adult? I have cause I lived in a bad neighborhood and a child tried to mug me once. I didn't really do much, he kinda left after he couldnt do any damage, he pulled out what looked like a pairing knife and tried to see if that would get him anywhere and after that gave up. 12 year olds are super weak
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.

No wonder Iran was talking about killing spiderman or whatever
Ummmmm actually! Spider-Man is Marvel an The Joker is DC, those are totally different canons! 
sigh
The level of propaganda that's out there is just cartoonishly bad (in this case literally)
For supposedly being a Chaos Guy, The Joker seems to be really amazing at plans and has lots of contacts
