Uhh... why are these two even in the same universe?
Taliska
How do I put in that 'let them fight' gif from Godzilla?
CountDesMoines
Nazi joker would be a gas
jsktrogdor
Nazism isnt exclusive to Germany. There's an American Nazi party.
NatashaFrickinRomanoff
Yeah but the Red Skull is a German nazi from WWII.

Did anybody else read this in Mark Hamill's voice?
Veckranges
Captain America batman crossover. Hmmmm
MotherEffinSatan
I was thinking the same thing!
Yokuho
Remember that time joker ATE china?
Vandammit
Read it in Mark Hamills voice. Not ashamed.
qtRaven

I automatically read any jokers' voice with the mark Hamill joker voice.
graehall
TIL: The Joker has a better sense of ethics than IBM.
Jaron58
Damn the Joker hates the nazis too

OfficialMonsantoPR
This is fucking dumb. The writer is dumb. The Joker is literally a mass-terrorist. He's blown-up entire cities.
Stumpyz
But the Joker hates everyone equally, therefore hating someone just on race is foreign and wrong to him.
AwkwardKyle
It's a throw back to gangsters throwing in with the war effort in WW2. Also because Nazis aren't funny.
pokebug666
I thought Iron Sky was pretty funny..
Drakhma
iron sky was stupid funny
frjackhackett
the joker's a lunatic, why should we expect him to keep his head straight?
TheNightLok
The point was he's insane. We know he's a terrible person, but in his mind you can't get worse than a Nazi. It makes perfect sense.
CurlyKaizer
It's still stupid. He doesn't have a problem with this chick.

insane677
Different continuity. Plus All star Batman is shit.
amoralZombie
I think the point is the Joker is chaotic, not racist. The joker wants insanity and calamity, not systemic genocidal murder.
BasedFixation
This was written back when the Joker was still intended to be an actual clown, he didn't really come into the role we typically see 1/2
BasedFixation
Until Mark Hamill's stunning performances during the Batman Animated Series.
HeightRestrictionsApply
Ever see the comic where super villains mourn 911? Also fucking stupid

FlossOrYouAreGross
Yeah, I'll support the fact that he doesn't give two shits working with a nazi if that gets the joker what he wants. I smell propaganda
robotzombies
Well, Red Skull and Captain America were direct political propaganda against Nazi Germany, so I'd guess this is part of the propaganda.
PaulLegg
I think this is the point. He'll happily work with a guy wearing a swastika sweater, but when it's time for the punchline...
ArcaneConjecture
The Joker would reply that the Great U S of A has also blown up entire cities.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
Honestly, I'd say Joker is worse than nazis.
AlabamaShakySnake
I think that's kinda the point. Yeah, he is who he is, but he is still better than a Nazi. At least at this time... He isn't the most stable
OfficialMonsantoPR
He nuked metropolis.
AlabamaShakySnake
Yes, and to him, is still not as bad as being a Nazi. That's how bad being a Nazi is (to him).
GodEmperorOfImgur
I find it ood that Monsanto is against the Joker, I mean, he's one of your products, right? All that chemical stuff. :P
lurkingforloveinallthewrongplaces
But at least he treats everyone equally when he kills them
hoppe1
Nazis copied most of their "social policies" from USA actually. Muricans didn't give two shits when they becan imprisoning "untermensch"
CeruleanK
The New Deal was what quelled American fascism the first time. Trumpies are the new fascism and again only genuine socialism will stop it.
Bunchie
And they based their uniforms off New Jersey State Police.
LLCoolBeans
Hugo Boss designed their uniforms, actually
AntonioStark
Not sure why the downvote. The US began a successful eugenics movement in the 1920's and dropped it when the Nazis started their own.
DirtyA
it is alarming, the moral mistakes we can make before we realize how terrible they are, the past century proved that in many ways.
JonHooman
I had to write a paper on eugenics not too long ago. After a lot of research I had a hard time being totally against it. Insert puffin here.
WardSharlow
Define successful.
AntonioStark
The state of California had thousands of forced sterilization procedures. Most of the people were from state hospitals. At the time 1/2
AntonioStark
It was a trending notion that people with mongolism (ID), Downs, etc. should not have children. Psychologists played a large role. 2/2
kanashimi444
The difference between the American and the Nazi eugenics movements were significant.
TakWriterOfWorlds
I think wet were just embarrassed that they did it better.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
If that was reason enough for them to stop doing something, they wouldn't do anything these days except for killer drones and suicide food.
IKnowWhatImAboutSon
What?

jackofalleves
huh, at least he was a passive eugenecist
DutchKincaid
Mostly true. More accurately a politically Progressive eugenics movement. See: Modern Progressive hero Margaret Sanger.
jsktrogdor
I highly doubt that. I certainly agree that Nazism is present in US history... but Americans definitely didnt invent the concepts.
[deleted]
[deleted]
jsktrogdor
Lots of people did. For thousands of years. It's not like the concept is hard to conjure up.
TheWayADrillWorks
Look it up, eugenics was popular science back in the day. The sad thing is, I've been getting the feeling lately that some want to revive it
jsktrogdor
That's not a social policy. It's a science. Plato is the first "scientist" to mention it on record.
BlueMagicDanny
Was this before or after Joker became ambassador of Iran?
TimDrakeTheTeenWonder
I'm glad someone actually remembers that the joker did that
smithenheimer
Shit like this is why I can't take comic books seriously haha
Stumpyz
After. The ambassador was in '88 (Batman #429) , the run in with Red Skull was '96 (Batman and Captain America, Vol. 1 #1).
jaminjimmyjames
Diplomatic immunity
LadyBroccoli
Didn't he do that just so he could murder Jason and get away with it? Or am I misremembering
StandingCartWheelSicktyNine
You're right
StandingCartWheelSicktyNine
Well both are
Brinho
Think it was cause he was wanting to sell nuclear weapons and then he killed Jason
GodEmperorOfImgur
I like how it's added at the end there like "Okay, deal finalized aaand whoops! Accidentally killed Jason... Oh well."
Brinho
Hahah yeah that's literally it, I've got the comic there was an actual vote back when it came out to kill him off or not. Very good read
TheNightLok
He's had a few change of heart throughout the years.
MrPredator
Where does he keep the hearts?
Sororita
In the refrigerator, next to the liver.
AThreeFootTallChocolateMooseWithFudgeEyes
In jars. Unfortunately, Link smashed them and looted the Hearts for himself
