Dressing up as The Joker in this universe is like dressing up as Ted Bundy when he was still at large. Even as a halloween costume it's the ultimate red flag
-
In retrospect, Paul Dano is a great Riddler, but i feel like he would have been an EXCELLENT James Gordon Jr.
-
I just want to know who in their right mind was tasteless enough to sell joker halloween costumes in gotham
-
I think the thing that gets me about James is that he looks ‘normal’. Every other Batman villain has an outrageous appearance or aspect of their personality but James shows you that the most normal looking person can be one of the most apathetic and unhinged of them all
-
honestly the idea of him being nightwing's joker is a pretty neat idea I hope they do more with it
-
I think this character shows that the most disturbing villians aren’t too far off from reality
-
Jim Gordon really thought a good method for disciplining his son was to leave him next to The Joker for a night 🤦♂️. What was his first idea, threaten to shoot him with a loaded gun?
-
The flashbacks showing Gordon Jr. emotionless as a baby and horribly murdering a bird as a toddler were honestly disturbing as f*ck. It's a pretty haunting and realistic foreshadowing about future serial killers
-
When he ripped the knife out I literally audibly gasped. No one does that. No one sets up a massive plot to torture someone and just throws it away to be psychotic
-
Considering Gordon Jr's pivotal role in "Batman: Year One", I wonder what Frank Miller said while watching how they turned the baby Batman and Gordon had to save at the end of that iconic story into a literal sociopath
-
I like how the iconic villains aren't superpowered, they are just really intelligent psychopaths and sociopaths who will fck you up mentally and give you a mental scar that will haunt you your whole life.
-
The fact that theres two James and two Barbaras in this story is driving me nuts lmao
-
Gotham seriously needs the death penalty. Like WTF are they thinking not having it already?
-
i honestly feel so, so bad for Gordon, can't imagine the pain he must feel knowing his own offspring is a complete irredeemable monster.
-
Never heard of him before but he's definitely a contender for Batmans most terrifying villain James Gordon Jr seems like the inverse of the Joker, where Joker does what he does with manic energy because he loves doing it Gordon Jr is completely empty. There's nothing to him and nothing behind his eyes, no light, no life, less a madman and more an evil void in the form of a human being
-
The main thing that hit me about James Jr.'s story is that he was given a drug that at least somewhat gave him empathy. He felt some pull towards it, perhaps to make his father happy or some other reason, maybe just curiosity. He had that chance to make better of himself, maybe even live a semblance of a normal life. He made the active and conscious decision to throw away having a semi-adjusted life because the empathy disgusted him. Let that really sink in how utterly depraved that is.
-
It's pretty surprising the fact Gordon Jr. actually got a considerable amount of appearances outside of the comics despite being a fairly unknown character. Apart from having minor roles as a baby/toddler in the "Year One" and "Long Halloween" animated movies, he even appears in "The Dark Knight" as the boy kidnapped along with his family by Two-Face and before whom Gordon delivers his epic final speech.
-
Honestly the scariest thing is he doesn't wear a costume. He isn't like other Batman rogue's gallery villains because he just... looks like a guy. No costume. No gimmick. Just the raw naked horror of being exposed to someone who could brutally maim you and lose no sleep over it. There's no veneer of comic book absurdity to help insulate the horror that is seeing an emotionless murderer.

Fun Fact: this is the first in continuity batman comic I read as a kid, how I didnt have nightmares is beyond me 😅
