GHL EXTRA - Is the Joker Overused in Comics?

You've heard us say on GEEK HISTORY LESSON before that the Joker "should go back in the toybox". For this week's EXTRA we dive into what we really mean by that and why we believe in that statement.

The Books We Talked About:

- Batman: The Joker's Last Laugh
- Superman: Emperor Joker 

GHL EXTRA - Is the Joker Overused in Comics?

Comments

Not overused. When he shows up its always an event. Plus, he needs to have a definitive origin whether it be The Killing Joke's(which I enjoyed) or something else.

Always a fair argument. We definitely believe all characters can have amazing stories written by enthusiastic creators.

Yes, but I'd also suggest that he isn't used well. So if someone wrote him in an interesting way then I wouldn't mind. It definitely felt overcrowded in the New 52 where he was basically the primary villain for Batman's run.
