Exclusive Preview: TEEN TITANS #15

Red Robin will be teaming up with Red Hood against Joker. Will they be able to survive his crazy and deadly scheme?

Well...well that was really really bad. That first page was filled with horribly written exposition "But I don't dream. I scheme."

Wait...WOH! Fabian wrote the dialogue! Fabian tends to write really good dialogue especially for Tim, but that dialogue... Dang! Maybe Lobdell's plotting is to blame, but the dialogue for Babs and Tim is really bad. Still I hope he gets to take over the book with no Lobdell and Marcus To as the artist.

I see. Maybe that is the point, he is making him so spooky until its impossible to take him seriously anymore.

his face has been skinned off. How is that not permanent?

Personally, I actually like the dialogue in this preview. Though I'm disappointed it opens with Batgirl instead of Arsenal. Makes me think him and starfire won't show up till the end or something.

@CaioTrubat I'm eagerly and impatiently looking forward to Joker getting his face back to normal and to purple suit up. Maybe a nice Armani or his classic tux.

looking forward to this I love both Characters (3 if you count Joker)

But looks like I have to double dip again (My comic shop that does my orders only tend to get cover A).

I HATE the mask covers, I want the badass artwork, Especially THAT cover

Yes you are very right but at least in the games they still feel like the character. I mean to me Freeze is Norman Bates in a freeze suit the new one has none of the character of Victor. With the Joker I see it being very similar Joker is now very one dimensional by taking his unpredictability he is now just focused and its kill kill kill give him a chainsaw and he is Leatherface.

Hope the point I am trying to say makes sense?

Except that Joker is actually doing all of this for a reason. He'd be one-dimensional if he was simply saying that he wanted to kill all of Batman's friends because he's evil and that's all he does. I haven't read any of the Death of the Family stuff except for Batman, Detective, and Nightwing, but Scott's made it kind of clear that Joker has a motive behind this onslaught.

So far the Joker has been extremely one dimensional during the Death of the family arc. Snyder is a talented writer but one thing he does not do well is develop characters. The Joker lost his unpredictability the thing that made him scary no matter what he has always had a motive to do the things he does. Snyder here took much of the characters personality away to attempt to make him scarier my problem with that is he is no longer the Joker he is Leatherface.

Um...some facts would be appreciated. I know this is a comic book website, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't back up their statements with fact instead of pure opinion. How has the Joker been less unpredictable? And, on a related note, how does one measure unpredictability? If anything, Scott's added to his unpredictable nature by indicating that he may have known Bruce and the entire Bat-family's secret identities for years and never let on that he did.

And I'm not saying he never had a motive for his actions, but that like before he has a motive now for what he's doing. The comparison to Leatherface is also incredibly inaccurate. The two are completely different characters that actually look to have nothing in common.

In a TV mini series called Inked comic legends Dennis O'neil and Neil Adams both state that what makes the Joker such a great villain is that you do not know what he is going to do next. If you met him in a dark alley he could tell you a joke (Via Killing Joke) or he could cut your throat. This focused Joker has none of that in him, he is just death and destruction his mind is one tracked and he not once had any of the sick humor that the character is know for having, Every character he meet from Harley to Nightwing its let me kick the crap out of them. This story arc has made Batman look very stupid and that he has never once learned anything from previous battles with the Joker making the character of Bruce Wayne and Batman both shallow and one dimensional.

How is the comparison to LeatherFace inaccurate are you saying its not painfully obvious that Joker new face mask look is not based off of the horror icon? Also lets see Leatherface is also a psychopath with his own motives that is incredibly focused in bring death and destruction so how is this not a fair comparison?
