Feelin' it so hard.

So it looks like DC is gonna reveal the TRUE identity of the Joker ... and it's not who you think!



So my guess is Bruce Wayne's secret, unknown brother.

I think a better question at this point is who cares? Having a "true name" adds nothing to the character because it's not like he's hanging around at home during his downtime.

Yeah. Just being the antithesis to Batman or a force of chaos or whatever is pretty good. Having multiple origin stories and all of them being unreliable fits so well with the character.

Oh and I guess there already was a secret Wayne brother and he is an Owlman or something. Hmmmm.

I've been reading Pluto and really digging it. Manga is not usually my jam but this is pretty good. I was wondering why the first few pages in the book were in color so I posed the question to google and here is one response....

Well manga is normally a weekly thing where as western style comics are monthly in most cases however the story suffers for all the great coloring but manga on the other hand truly shows talent in drawing and the story rarely falters. And coloring manga would really kill the mangaka lol. My 2 cents.........

Anyway. Maybe the Joker is like literally the devil ... dude.

I believe it is because the schedule for making and releasing manga is so insane, color is only used on really special occasions or as a special bonus. Manga artists live on such a strict schedule already that the time it takes to make it all in color would delay the process. There are some that are all color but those have less of a frequency than the weekly/biweekly magazines

Yeah. I get why they don't color the whole thing. I just thought that quote was funny. Basically boils down to Mangas are rarely bad.

Everyone should just stop reading or really even talking about animes ever. That quote was hilarious.

at least my dislike of manga is semi tongue in cheek, holy poo poo, can I smell that guy and his crusty body pillows across the internet

Yeah this is what I was hoping people would pick up on.
