Man, Joker would genuinely despise Spidey. Someone who’s funnier than him and a better rage baiter than him would drive him nuts.

•

u/Over-Analyzed 32m ago

We all know how that turned out.

Wasn't even the 'real' Joker, it was the Joker's personality copy pasted into Tim's brain as a ticking time bomb. So we can't even say "that's not how he'd react" because it IS his genetic memory! Or however that sciency magic (or magicy science) works.

•

u/Smash96leo 28m ago

Yup, it wouldn’t pretty much go like that. If not worse.

•

u/GlitteringDingo 22m ago

Spider-Man is basically precision designed to take on narcissists, and Joker is about the pinnacle of self-obsession.

•

Terry McGinnis (next-gen Batman) breaks the Joker with exactly this — he heckles him about being a bad comedian with a stale bit who was never funny, and it drives Joker absolutely insane because he's a narcissist whose ego can't handle being the butt of the joke.

Joker liked Bruce Wayne Batman because Bruce is so stoic and serious that he can be as egomaniacal as he wants, but Terry is unserious and roasts him into a breakdown.

"Don't you care that I Kidnapped Robin?"

"You Kidnapped a bird? I thought the penguin had the aggressive aviary gimmick!"

u/Longjumping_West1587 55m ago

😂 I could totally see this happening

•

u/BornCoyote87 25m ago

Tim joining in the rage-baiting from somewhere in the background or off camera.

•

u/JavieyauJR 21m ago

Every single Robin (except maybe Damian) would help ragebait

•

Bruce is gonna have a tougher time than Pete.

•

Doc Ock is a non-threat to Batman, given that he's just a normal, even whimpy guy with tech. Rhino is dumb and easy to trick. Electro has easily exploitable weaknesses, as does Sandman. Kingpin, Batman wouldn't even have to fight, he has a kind of practical intelligence Peter doesn't that would let him easily get Fisk locked up.

I think the only major threat for Bruce is Green Goblin, being basically Joker with superhuman strength and durability, and the symbiotes, which, again, have clearly defined weaknesses that Batman would somehow magically learn, as he is known to do.

•

u/jinzokan 13m ago

Batman vs kingpin would be peak though.

•

u/GlitteringDingo 6m ago

Basically Bane without the glaring tube weakness. It'd be a tough fight, which is why I think Bruce would try to avoid the direct confrontation, and treat him more like a Falcone.

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 14m ago

The symbiotes have kinda lost those clearly defined weaknesses over the years.

•

u/GlitteringDingo 4m ago

The fire has toned down, and I think Carnage lost it entirely, but sound is still considered a weakness, even if they don't instantly fold to any loud noise anymore.

•

u/Tom_Stevens617 23m ago

Not really. Bruce has better resources to prepare specific counters for Spidey's gallery

•

u/elnino19 17m ago

Yeah but so many superpowered brawlers are hard to face even with prep

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 20m ago

It still stands that he would face a bigger challenge than Spidey would. Peter is gonna dog walk Gotham baddies real quick.

•

u/jinzokan 9m ago

I feel like if gobbo almost got spidey to break Joker could definitely make him snap.

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 6m ago

I feel like he web his mouth shut pretty quick. There's only room for one quipster when Spider-Man is around.

Gotta thwip that problem in the bud.

•

u/Tom_Stevens617 14m ago

It still stands that he would face a bigger challenge than Spidey would

How so?

Peter is gonna dog walk Gotham baddies real quick.

Surface-level take. He might be able to deal with individual supervillains, but Spidey simply doesn't have the real-world experience of living in Gotham to be able to do anything about its institutional corruption. What's he going to do about the Court of Owls for example? Crime can't be solved with just punching

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 11m ago

You don't think that dealing with crime, organized and otherwise, for years and years in New York isn't comparable to Gotham? Peter is awfully smart too, ya know.

The Goblins alone are gonna give Bats a rough go.

•

u/JavieyauJR 20m ago

No, just because the majority of Peter's rogue gallery can either be countered with a bit of prep or is just the average superhuman that Batman has no emotional connection to

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 19m ago

I didn't say he couldn't do it. Just that he'd struggle more than Spider-Man would.

•

u/JavieyauJR 16m ago

Apart from a select few, no he wouldn't.

•

u/jinzokan 10m ago

he definitely struggles more than spider man, Joker is the only one who might make him snap which i guess is a win con.

•

u/JavieyauJR 3m ago

Scarecrow

•

u/Tonberry_Cheesecake 16m ago

Ok, so then those "select few" prove my point.

•

u/JavieyauJR 2m ago

I'd love to watch Spider Man try to take on Ra's Al Ghul

•

u/RuneKnight3 52m ago

Dent: "I'll kill you!"

Spider-Man: "What's your better half have to say about it?"

Dent: "Stop mocking me!"

Spider-man: "I try to ask my girlfriend her opinion but we're of two minds about everything!"

•

u/Zestyclose-Leader926 48m ago

I'd argue the rogues that are more inclined to use aerosols are potentially a pretty big threat to Spidy. Mystero uses chemicals to screw with Spiderman's Spidy-sense. Otherwise dude would be completely out of his weight class.

•

u/Square-Newspaper8171 46m ago

Honestly, I have always had this image in my mind of Spider-Man fighting the Joker, where Spider-Man lets out a quip and the Joker immediately stops fighting just to admonish him for his bad jokes, spending the next half hour until the cops arrive coming up with better quips for Spidey's next fight.

•

u/serenity656 45m ago

I'll be real batman has like 5 Norman Osborne level intelligent Villians they might not be able to fight Spiderman but they can out smart him

•

u/Numbuh24insane 41m ago

I get the joke, I really do. And a lot of people take way too much credit in the Batman Beyond Terry vs Joker stuff.

When Joker goes against Nightwing and other quipy and joking heroes all the time.

In fact we have had crossovers with Joker and Spider-Man meeting.

-

This isn’t me doing a plea on look how cool Joker is or anything like that, but just saying that we jump so quickly onto bandwagons that we forget that there’s a lot more to these characters.

•

u/GlitteringDingo 16m ago

Well, there's also the fact that Joker is just a guy, and Spider-Man can dodge bullets and throw trucks.

•

u/Numbuh24insane 13m ago

There’s no denying that.

Spider-Man just outstats Joker, in fact if we switched rogues gallery I have a feeling that Spider-Man’s nemesis would be closer to Riddler rather than Bane or Joker.

•

u/GlitteringDingo 5m ago

Peter would not be able to help himself and would absolutely try to solve all the riddles.

•

u/Numbuh24insane 0m ago

Peter is a real smart guy, but worlds greatest detective is someone he’s not. Riddler would give him a much bigger challenge than most of Batman’s Rogued Gallery.

•

u/E-Belasco1879 0m ago

Riddler would be upset that Peter is obviously toying with him. Peter enjoys the brain teasers but can't help but poke fun at the dude and will be like "Hmm, that's a tricky one there, Question mark. Can I phone a friend?" Then give the right answer before Riddler can say anything, followed by Peter asking if the Riddler has anything harder.

u/Lohit_-it 23m ago

I mean most only know the famous version of the character and the joker is a constantly changing character. If spiderman writers wrote him spiderman would get serious trauma from the joker

•

u/FruitFiend11 9m ago

Spiderman gets serious trauma from everything. They love to make him suffer.

•

u/Successful_Theory373 1h ago

People acting like Robin doesn't quip and joke all the time with the Batman villains....

•

u/Lohit_-it 23m ago

Most only know the famous versions

•

u/Domination1799 25m ago

Bane would be so annoyed that he become even more enraged and pop Spider-Man’s head off

•

u/RioNReedus 1h ago

Its comics. I could make any enemy of anyone an overpowered Canon wrecker of someone else with the right variables

I mean - Kiteman, with the right story, is impossible for spiderman to catch based off wind currents
