The One Who Reads Too Much chapter 1 . 12/22/2015 "How did that guy even have the gall to vocalize the name of one of Britain's best comedy actors? If that guy was Charlie Chaplin, then he was Heath Ledger." "Though he couldn't understand why he hadn't been getting any offers. I mean, who wouldn't want the chance to get his or her hands on the crowbar he had used to kill the Boy Blunder? So it had been used in a vicious murder, and had some splats of dried blood on it, that just added to its value right?" I agree completely. "Joker and Two-Face looked at each other. "Are we really that bad?" Two-Face whispered to the Joker who shrugged." Somehow it's funnier that Two-Face is asking. |
Erikroolsall chapter 1 . 11/4/2011 L...O...L! OMG that was HILARIOUS! Couldn't stop laughing! It was soooooooo good omg thank you for writting it! :) ~Era :) |
Artemis1000 chapter 1 . 4/8/2009 *giggles* I really like it! |
BlaireVolturi chapter 1 . 9/24/2008 If that guy was Charlie Chaplin, then he was Heath Ledger. Whoa. FUCKING IRONY. Much love by the by.I love Two-Face in this. |
Christian Orton chapter 1 . 8/3/2008 Cool! It's not random and filled with stupid humor, it's actually very well written. Honestly, it's very good. |
Jack of Chocolate chapter 1 . 7/30/2008 That was so awesome. It's funny, in the beginning, it says, "If that guy was Charlie Chaplin, then he was Heath Ledger." And Heath Ledger ended up playing the Joker in the new Dark Knight movie. And since this was published on '06, I'll have to assume that you didn't know yet. Fabulous. Thank you for writing. |
GuesssWho chapter 1 . 7/9/2007 I can imagine this, which is why it's so funny. LOL! Now I want to know something: how DO infamous people pay their bills? |
kb chapter 1 . 5/6/2007 Strangely in-character for his comic book version. Lots of inside jokes for batman fans. A |
missterio chapter 1 . 4/27/2007 Wow...this is actually pretty funny! It makes me wonder why more people didn't review this story, but oh well. It is an interesting pair; putting the Joker and Two Face together. I didn't think bad guys would WANT to pay the bills. - Jo (aka: missterio) |
Twinings chapter 1 . 10/28/2006 Oh, this was absolutely hysterical. You write a wonderful Joker-just the perfect mix of evil and clown. |
Phraser chapter 1 . 10/9/2006 HA! That was an unbelievable laughing riot, I love it! |
TheBlackCatCrossing chapter 1 . 10/4/2006 Tee hee! Too cute! Who's Adam West? Then I'm Heath Ledger! LMAO! I could really see this coming out of the animated series. Very original and in character. My favorite part: Are we that bad? Congrats! I'm faving. Thank you for the smile and giggles. |
ArgentJinx chapter 1 . 10/2/2006 Wow. That was really funny. For something that was written so well in such a serious tone it made me laugh. It was great. |
Lorendiac chapter 1 . 10/1/2006 I admit it was funny! For some reason, the idea of the Joker selling the crowbar from "A Death in the Family" on Ebay appeals to me (in a gruesome sort of way, I suppose). Although strictly speaking, I don't think we know whether Jason Todd would have still died from the injuries of that beating if it hadn't been for the Joker's bomb that was left in the room with him and went off several minutes later. That was what actually finished him off. (Of course, Joker may have assumed Jason was already dead or as good as dead, *without* actually bothering to check for a pulse. I can't remember the scene all that well; been awhile since I last read it.) I take it for granted that he didn't get any offers for the simple reason that prospective customers assumed it was a hoax, because who would really sell a murder weapon on Ebay, admitting he had used it in a felony? I assume that's the implication you wanted to plant in our minds, but I suppose I could have misread the subtleties :) (Heck, offhand I don't think it ever became public knowledge in the DCU that a Robin had actually "died" in the first place! Batman certainly wasn't in the mood to issue press releases on the subject. I think a lot of people in Gotham City probably assume that reported sightings of Jason Todd and Tim Drake were actually the same Robin all along - teenage boy, a lot shorter than Batman, fair skin, short black hair, etc. Which would certainly explain why customers found it difficult to believe Joker's claims for the history of that crowbar. I could be wrong, actually - I don't know how seriously anyone would have taken Joker's claims about killing Robin after he was eventually hauled back to Arkham Asylum.) There's something deliciously absurd about your implication that on the one hand, Adam West still had the same acting career in the DCU as he did in our world - and yet, on the other hand, that the Joker has never even paid enough attention to that old TV show to recognize the name! If you tried to get away with that in a more "serious" story, I might try to poke one or two holes in it - but when the story is labelled "Humor" and the weird twist is funny enough, my standards are different :) I did wonder why the forces of law and order didn't catch up with them as they left the post office, but maybe they left a bit too soon and the patrol cars pulled up just one minute too late to immediately catch sight of them? Or maybe the workers were too terrified to hit a silent alarm? (As with the Adam West thing, I make more allowances for these little nitpicking details when the story is funny.) |
