The Joker is the Greatest Villain Ever.

After contemplating in my deeps thoughts, I have come to a decision you will be presenting Brainiac's case...........Definitions-villain- a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel.greatest- Of an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average.ever- At any time. Why The Joker is the superior villain- What makes a villiain a villain?Power- Great villains are staggeringly powerful. In other words, they have a way of making things bend to their will. In fantasy stories this often takes the form of magical powers. Perhaps the villain is a mighty sorcerer or a fallen Jedi Knight. In some cases, though, the villain’s power lies in his resources. He may possess vast wealth and influence. Or he may have a highly trained army at his command.In some cases, though, the villain’s power is less obvious. A classic literary archetype is the femme fatale: a woman who uses her charm to control those around her. Some villains posses keen acuity and cunning, which is far more dangerous than raw might. Argument: The Joker exhibits this characteristic if you look at his influence over the small street gang called the Jokerz, they are a gang of criminal thugs working for the Joker in Gotham City.In spite of his unstable manner, the Joker has always managed to find like-minded anarchists to enact his various schemes. Although not known for their intelligence, the Joker's streetgang thugs are known for their nihilistic outlook and borderline insanity, dressing up as clowns and circus people to associate themselves with their boss.

This does not necessarily mean that they are intellectually gifted. Rather, it means that they avoid making stupid decisions.New writers sometimes make the error of crafting villains who are so drunk with ambition that they make dumb moves. While such a character may make for an entertaining caricature, he or she is not a compelling villain. A truly great villain is always two steps ahead of the hero, and carefully considers every option. This does not mean that they are above making mistakes. Otherwise they would be undefeatable. But they certainly don’t make the obvious ones. Great villains pose a real challenge for the hero, and they do so by being on top of their game.Argument: The Joker is a genius at planning and improvising criminal activities. He is incredibly intelligent and calculating, always staying one step ahead of everyone else, including Batman (for a while) and the police. His unique (if rather disturbed) worldview, as well as the complete mystery surrounding his identity also give him something of an edge. Having no connections, friends, former identities or family to be traced back to makes him very difficult to predict, track down, or even understand.Immoral- True villains are immoral. This is what makes them villains. It’s not that they lack a sense of right or wrong. On the contrary, villains often subscribe to a moral code. But they are willing to violate accepted moral principles in order to accomplish their goals. A prime example is Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter series. He knows that he has violated every principle of human decency. Yet he justifies his actions by saying that they are “for the greater good.” Fulfilling his vision of the ideal social order is so important that, in his mind, it necessitates doing terrible things. This is a common theme with many great villains. They believe so strongly in the rightness of their own cause that they no longer see the normal standards of moral conduct as applying to them.Argument: There are many situations throughout the history of DC Comics in which The Joker implies his distorted view of morality onto his victims............. I will list a few:Barbara Gordon/BatgirlThe daughter of Commisioner Gordon had hung up her bat suit and decided to proceed with her own life. She was having coffee with her father one evening, discussing the Joker's recent escape from Arkham Asylum. The door bell rang. Thinking it was a friend, Barbara opened the door without checking the peep hole. She recognized the Joker a split second before he shot her in the midsection. He then proceded to remove her clothing and take several pictures of her decrepit state while sipping a glass of wine. Barbara was found by a neighbour and rushed to hospital. The doctored bullet had blown away a section of her spine and despite the best medical treatment,she was pronounced paralyzed from the waist down. Perhaps the hardest part of Barbara's ordeal was that she was shot as the daughter of Gotham's Police Chief, not Batgirl. Despite all her efforts to stop crime, she was still better known as the commisioner's kid. Barbara eventually adapted to life in a wheelchair and, using her computer and librarian skills, became the all knowing Oracle. She is presently working with Black Canary to stop any and all kinds of international crime.Dick Grayson/ Robin I/ Nightwing The first Robin and Batman were pursuing the Joker after his escape from Arkham. They eventually cornered him on a rooftop and prepared to bring him in. The Joker pulled a gun and shot Robin through the upper right arm before either hero could react. While the wound was not all that serious, it made Batman question the wisdom of putting Dick in dangerous situaltions as his sidekick. He resolved his dilemma by telling Dick he could no longer be Robin. Dick was devestated and left on a sort of journey of self discovery. After a stint as leader of the Teen Titans, he eventually became Nightwing. While he and Bruce have managed to patch things up, there is still tension between them. Who knows what road Dick's life might have taken had the Joker not made his mortality painfully clear.Commisioner James Gordon The Gotham City Police Commisioner was having a pleasant evening with his daughter when the Joker came in a put a hole in her. After allowing Gordon to get a good look at his daughter lying on the floor, bleeding, the Joker and his gang hauled him off to an abandoned amusement park. After stripping him of his dignity (along with his clothing), the Joker took him on a special ride. The ride through the funhouse consisted of various pictures of a naked, bleeding Barbara and an inane song of the Joker's. The point of this exercise was to drive Gordon crazy proving to the world that "ordinary people" and the Joker were not all that different. The plan failed. When the Batman rescued Gordon, the commisioner ordered that he bring in the Joker by the book, "to show him that our way works" The Caped Crusader obliged. This incident is one of the many example of how the Joker has made Jim's life a trial.In conclusion, it is evident that the Joker is the only enemy of Batman that can put up a good fight....... And Jokers magnitude in immorality, power, and intelligence make him a pretty good villian..... Let's see Pro's argument......
