Why doesn't the President do this?
Could literally ANYONE argue against it?
It's not like anyone could prove the Joker is an American citizen anyway, so fuck his rights
That's gonna get a lot of birthday party clowns killed by trigger-happy cops. Somebody light the ACLU-signal!
Sebastian Morris
You kinda deserve it at that point desu
Who is hiring clown for their kids birthday when the Joker is still around anyway?
Evan Diaz
Who'd hire a muslim while ISIS is still around, anyway?
Your argument does nothing but encourage the kind of close-minded clown discrimination that's tearing our country apart. #notallclowns
Alexander Barnes
>Why doesn't the President do this? I really hate to argue anything for the idiocy that is supervillain logic, but I suspect you stumbled onto the cause in your first sentence >the individual known as "The Joker" No one really knows who this idiot is, so a kill on sight order could result in him or someone simply dressing up a bunch of other targets to look like him so the cops, SWAT and army go around shooting innocents like in TDK.
I'd say a more intelligent decision wouldn't be making a big public announcement that would alert Joker and get his thoughts stirring, but a silent order to a single agent or felon like the whole suicide squad thing to get in close with the Gotham scene. Once they've carefully identified Joker's position and next plan they're to take him out and take the body back to a black site somewhere. BUT of course knowing comics they'd just use this as a cheap chance to show how crazy prepared Joker is and magically have him just know that the plant is a plant, because he smelled it off him or whatever, and reveal he has his friends or family monitored by his goons because Joker's so clever and resourced and badass and bla bla, so he let the plant get close just so he could have them take a fake body to the black site where it explodes with Joker venom and that was his real plan because he's an agent of chaos and yada yada Batman shows up beats up Joker and tells the authorities to never interfere with his adventures because only someone in expensive cosplay can possibly handle these things. Turns to the reader, winks. The end.
Levi Cox
It's the fucking joker. No other clown looks like him.
Adrian Ward
Mr. President, I urge you to to reconsider! I've faced this lunatic countless times, and I know for a fact that lethal force has no effect on him. This monster has survived gunshots, explosions, helicopter crashes, plane crashes, car crashes, poison, drowning, the electric chair, freezing, fire, falling hundreds of feet and massive brain injuries. He just won't die, all you'll be doing is endangering the lives of all the people trying to kill him. That's why we must forget about killing him, the only way to stop the Joker is to inflict the worst kind of pain possible on him, traumatizing him so much that he will never be able to pose a threat to anyone ever again. And only one man can do this. Mr. President, we need to convince Batman to rape the Joker, it's the only way!
Samuel Flores

Because the president isn't a trigger happy basketball American any more.
Grayson Baker
>Who is hiring clown for their kids birthday when the Joker is still around anyway? The mayor of Gotham City, that's who!
Look at this boy's happy face! You wouldn't deny him the most memorable day of his life, would you?
Dominic Robinson
Makes sense.
Batman. I order you to rape the Joker
Jackson Campbell
>a kill on sight order could result in him or someone simply dressing up a bunch of other targets to look like him so the cops, SWAT and army go around shooting innocents like in TDK. It wouldn't surprise me if Joker has DONE this before, and it's the real reason GCPD don't shoot him on sight - there've been too many fatal mistakes in the past.
After all, in TKJ he made up one of his henchman to look like him so much he almost fooled the Batman.
Michael Morris
Why stop there?
FUCK THEM ALL TO DEATH!
Ryan Wright
Goddamnit Jim, stop exploiting the President's lack of critical thinking skills! I will NOT rape the Joker, not only will it not solve anything but it's morally wrong! You can't order me to do anything I don't want to do anyway, I'm the Goddamn Batman.
Blake Green
I think that kid likes clowns too much.
And why wasn't Hamilton Hill evil in this series?
Ethan Green
I would be really surprised if there wasn't a story where some bigshot billionaire or something publically offered a huge bounty to anyone who could kill the Joker and bring them his head.
Ayden Thomas
There was that basically the plot of a BTAS comic I think
Benjamin Torres
They probably didn't want to confuse kids too much, especially since if they committed to that HIll arc they'd likely also have to commit to doing Harvey Bullock the same way as in that arc, a corrupt cop in the mayor's pocket. They don't reference Harvey being a secret film buff or the idea that his hardened exterior is an act, either. BTAS did a lot to clean up his reputation, now everyone knows and loves him as the slovenly, foul-mouthed cop with a heart of gold. So I guess they made the right call.
Besides that, they focused more on Rupert Thorne and Roland Daggett (a character of their own) as the overarching white collar threats to Batman and Gotham City. A corrupt recurring mayor would've tipped things over to being a tad too dark for kids, even in Batman. TL,DR: the mayor is incompetent but well-meaning, like so many other cartoon mayors, because otherwise the setting would've been TOO oppressive.
Lucas Jackson
There's a hitman clown for hire still at large in Mexico...
Batman, I traveled a long way to see you. With great power come, great responsibility. You know what you have to do Batman. We heroes are to make the sacrifices that others can't. YOU MUST RAPE THE JOKER!
Ryan Clark
And the first story of Hitman.
Ryan Gray
I'll do it if you sexually molest the Hobgoblin.
Isaiah Roberts
>Why doesn't the President do this? because ordering the murder of a US citizen is unconstitutional and illegal
besides if the Joker was really that much of a thread the president could just ask Superman or any other super powered superhero based in the united states to go to Gotham and get the Joker
Ian Taylor
I miss Obama.
Daniel Cruz
>Why doesn't the President do this? The military isn't allowed to act on American soil, for one. That's (aside from racist paranoia) why the Jade Helm thing was such a trigger event for yokels.
And law enforcement having a "shoot on sight" order is going to get a lot of non-Joker people killed. "He was just pale!" "He's a birthday clown!" "He's cosplaying!"
And he gets randos so tracking his cohorts wouldn't help.
Andrew Clark
>Why doesn't the President do this? Joker is white.
Jose Walker
>It's the fucking joker. No other clown looks like him. I've been stopped by the police several times (while walking) because I look like someone else they thought I might be. (who, personally, I don't think I looked anything like).
Police aren't exactly experts at identifying people.
Luke Rodriguez
that's the thing, he is that big of a threat. He's a literal terrorist
Gavin Hall
because it's illegal to execute someone without a trial?
now just executing him after a trial on the other hand since he's clearly the definition of legally sane and not meme-legally insane like how retarded comic book writers think it works
Carter Rivera
>Obama >The man with barely a personality >Trigger happy

Sorry Maquisha Le'shawn, your red tumblr nose is showing.
Logan Reed
go back to tumblr. the white privilege don't
Andrew Anderson
Is it only problem because OP is basketball american or what it be okay if Trump made speech about ending Jokers carnage? Both sides keep flipping their scripts this year and it's hard to keep up with the narrative.
David Gonzalez
If White privilege exist, so does black privilege
Ps: Go back to tumble and talk about how much you hate "orange" there

You were so close with this one user. White privilege bs is too low of a fruit.

John Wright
Wow, when did I miss white privilege becoming the new nigger?
Dominic Ortiz
Don't you have to like, earn your citizenship? I doubt that the Joker has an ID, pays his taxes, has a residence, or is anything besides a terrorist that goes around killing and blowing and traumatizing and driving insane anything and anyone he can. This isn't an elaborate thief or a wayward alien or a drunk in the streets, he is an irredeemable cannon of mayhem that would laugh as the entire world burns if only to win an argument with Batman about which Pokémon is the cutest. Someone should do something about him. Like Supes. With a punch through the chest.
Ethan Roberts
Yeah, always Sup Forums never perfect Sup Forums, right? Or do you also want to blame Sup Forums or Sup Forums or reddit or any other number of sites you want to blame instead of for once taking responsibility for the den of cancerous shit Sup Forums has become in the last 8 years.
Hudson Perez
Its the kikes, I tell you! The kikes and the japs!
Asher Fisher
That's happened numerous times. It never works. Sometimes it even results in the Joker escaping his top security prison cell.
Dominic Turner
it would be an outrageous abuse of his power, and would cause more trouble than it is worth
Logan Mitchell
Being unconstitutional and illegal has never stopped the President from assasinating American citizens before.
The real reason is simple, The Joker is white (or at least wears white face paint).
Luke Scott
Not even the Joker dodges taxes. Messing with the IRS? He's crazy, not stupid.
Jaxon Collins
Why the hell doesn't Green Lantern just put this guy in a bubble in space?
He's the space cop. Doesn't his authority supercede Earth's?
William Anderson
Because then he would have to deal with Batman. And no one in the DC universe wants to be on his bad side.
Tyler Brooks
I always blamed it on tumblr
Easton Barnes
Just put a multi-million dollar bounty out on him. Problem solved.
Brody Wilson
>Not even the Joker dodges taxes. Messing with the IRS? He's crazy, not stupid. Wasn't this a joke in a Batman cartoon once?
Gavin Sanders
I'm afraid he can Batman. The President just signed an Executive Order saying that you must rape the Joker, and he's named me Director of a New Task Force that will ensure you do so. If you do not comply with this Executive Order, we will be forced to take drastic measures. We happen to know where your associate Batgirl is, for some reason she keeps showing up next to my daughter Barbara's house. If you don't rape the Joker, President Trump will grab Batgirl by the pussy, and I might indulge in some of that pussy-grabbing too. So what's it gonna be Batman? Will you rape the Joker? Or will you let that slut Batgirl get molested?
Colton Lopez
¿porque tan serio?
Robert Collins
That's not going to work. A federal judge just overturned that Executive Order on the grounds that rape is illegal. Also, there's something seriously wrong with you Jim. I REALLY think you should talk to your daughter.
Owen Mitchell
>Point out a blatant example of white privilege >Butthurt Sup Forumsacks scream about tumblr
Fucking idiots. You know you'd be calling Obama a thug if he did half the shit Trump did.
>Obama somehow ruins race relations >Trump who said Mexican immigrants are murderers and rapists, promised a Muslim ban, said a Mexican American judge can't do his job because of his heritage, and a fuckload of other shit is somehow in the clear
It's amazing how much shit you can get away with ok this country as a white man.
Caleb Walker
He did half the shit Trump did. He just knew to be quiet and bomb nations with a nice smile and a clever word.
Asher Garcia
Can you imagine if Obama was a womanizer with 5 children from 3 different wives, multiple affairs and there was a video of him bragging about grabbing white women by the pussy? Fox News would never stop talking about it.
Julian Thomas
Prove the Joker is a US citizen
You don't even know his fucking name
Caleb Watson
He's a 100% red blooded American
Ryder Ross
White privilege exists and racists should know this best. One they should already know who not to trust and two they should already know who is better. It's just that once a liberal talks about some advantage to being white that they want to disagree with it.
It's not the writers it's the proescuters/court system in Gotham
Leo Thomas
This would be a bad idea. Joker would probably just dress up a bunch of his own henchmen like him in order to fool the military force while he fucks off to some place like Star city.
Outright stating that you're going to hunt down the joker is just a recipe for disaster. It'll just make things chaotic which'll work to his advantage. Batman'll be too busy trying to make sure the military doesn't harm civilians and fake Jokers, and now Joker has escaped.
