Origin of Punchline (Jokers New Sidekick) 

I think you hit the nail on the head. I feel like this is prepping for 5G and she's the new Joker.

Batman has a batfamily, so Joker is going to make his own to counter them.

So what will they be called? THE One-liners,The Comey Trope or The Big Jokes?

Only if Punchline is the joker. THAT would be funny

@@MoleculeXmolecule so uhhhh like batman beyond?

Villains yes a-holes to the max but super villains need it

Honestly, I like villains who are just evil for evil's sake. Like Darkseid and Trigon.

@@CeliMe007 Yes! Those Are The Best Baddies! Some People Just Wanna Watch The World Or Universe Burn 🔥

Disagree. Trauma doesn't justify evil, but is most definitely the spark. There are psychopaths that don't care about anyone that nonetheless may never do much harm. They could be diffusing bombs roadside in Afghanistan or doing stunt car driving for the next action movie

@@CeliMe007 Darkseid and Trigon are cosmic personifications of evil....

Hopefully not... she's more annoying than harley... Atleast harley was hot though. She's definitely not...

Depends how popular she becomes

Is it just me or did joker used to have a male sidekick i think it was back in the golden age though

@@themostbritishpersonalive868 Are you thinking of The Creeper?

@@CaptainStardust1988 He's talking about a little midget Called gaggi

Indeed,I'm interested to see how it goes in the long run.

Hear me out... maybe that’s the point I smell a betrayal of you catch my drift

He does, often, but never for long and never as equal

Some other comment said Joker could be grooming her to be like a counterpart to Batman’s batfamily.

@Jon Doe A pawn in the Joker's overall endgame.

That’s an interesting comparison: Harley as the fallen angel, seeking some sort of direction in life, and Punchline as the succubus, as evil at heart.

I like Harley but she is by no means "Good" she is a murder, a psycho, and has harmed and destroyed uncountable lives without regret or care.

And I hated Harley as a person before, naw man Harley is way better than Alexa, especially in the injustice and JL dark Apokolips wars

I agree with most of it except the harley is "good" part. She has killed people and children before,

didn't Harley kill a bunch of hospital kids at one point? they've turned her character around in recent years, but you cant forget all the horrific things she has done.

that’s a really nice detail actually

I respect that attention to detail.

Damn

I literally forgot about the jokers daughter tbh

Did he ever find out about his daughter or is it still a secret? I know Harley didn't want him to know

what joker's daughter? wtf

@@MatukaEdgi She was named like that but admired Joker, Two-face and maybe some others, she was weird...She would sew Joker's face on her own to become him... Harley and Joker had a daughter in a series but it was non canon, that actual Joker's daughter was not his daughter.

@@slurpingmario8006 legit same I didnt like her character tbh

Lol me too!

Harley is a psychopath.

UltimatePiccolo Nearly all of them are psychopaths. Heroes or Villains.

@@UltimatePiccolo she's a sociopath. Psychopaths are born like that, sociopaths are made

@Madam Agony at least someone gets it. Like damn guys, pull it together!

Good eye, i didn’t notice that

I would love tim as bats and alexis as joker in a what if comics

But Tim doesnt want to be Batman. Even so that's a really good analysis about Punchline. She does parallel Tim in some ways.

@@insaneworld211 Your right. But Tim Drake wants to be the Next World's Greatest Detective.

@@josephlowes5051 maybe not like the brooding and serious type like batman just maybe

Well it makes sense to make her a villain then right?

Actually it's pretty realistic

*True Crime Community has entered the chat* 😂

We live in a society

No, Harley was the edgy teenager who admires serial killers. Punchy there is one of the serial killers - she just took her inspiration from Joker.

All i got from this was "Punchline is nina the killer but for non creepypasta fans" 😂

No she’s a fucking psychopath, and the whole bit of poisoning and skinning her own dean is simply a way for Punchline to prove to the Joker that she has NO INTEREST IN BECOMING A HERO OR A VILLAIN. She’s the female version of Nolan’s Joker. One of those characters that seriously want to watch the world burn.

@@tincruz1988 At least Noland's Joker doesn't have a big dumb monologue about wanting to be bad.

@@zonastarwars4397 No he has a big dumb monologue that everyone is bad

Zona Star Wars It’s on cable last night. He does. Joker mentioned it a few times. She’s literally the female version of Nolan’s Joker.

A "not like other girls" 😒

I like your comments :)

"What kind of person pretends to care about another person just so they pretend to care back?" It's supposed to be a Arthur Fleck-esque critique of how everyone interacts with others.

phone bad

@@moonage_ A phone is not a living thing. It cannot be bad. What you do with it... That's another story.

A woke Karen 🤣

@@nestorrodriguez746 😑

AJ Lee 🤨

Umbrella Corporation punchline thinks killing Batman is the solution to being with joker ... and didn’t wanna listen to Harley when she said it wasn’t true when she was punchline isn’t smart ..

Umbrella Corporation no❤️ Karen’s are 10000x better 💀

When Harley was created she was originally meant to be in the background. The joker was often surrounded by nameless clown themed underlings and one of the show runners just said "Eh, let's make one of the goons a lady" but audiences saw something in her that made them want to learn more about her and thus they fleshed her out. Punchline feels like the opposite. She's got a name, and an origin, and now that I know it I feel like she'd be just adequate as one of Joker's clown themed goons, that's all.

She has potential, if Harley Quinn was the angel on Joker's Shoulder Punchline is supposed to be the devil. She's actively trying to not be Harley Quinn and Harley Quinn is not even jealous.

That so true. Reading some comics they say Harley Quinn was never meant to be a character. She was introduce as an love interest for the joker being a supporting character but the audience like her so much that the writer decided to give her a character or better yet a story arc or even better better yet an identity. Before being joker girlfriend to currently today being her own person. That just show how far she come and being background character or supporting character or not having major role doesn’t mean you not important or doesn’t contribute anything because you do. Also show toixic relationship can have negative impact, servile damage on your physical/mental health and usually one sided. Also show you overcome it but it will take time, patience, support, and challenging. Harley Quinn is one of these characters who show it.

Even when she was a background character in "Joker's Favor", Arleen Sorkin invested her with so much personality, with the accent, the subtle menace, the Yiddish slang, and the shifts in emotion, that she was immediately notable. Punchline has no distinct personality quirks. She's just a Joker rewrite without the humour.

Amari Wryter but she really not Harley would kill anyone for the sake of having a laugh or survive

@J I don't know, lately it seems like Joker does what he does because he wants Batman's attention. Like if bats ignored him he'd get incredibly pissed. Kinda makes Joker seem like a needy partner.

She better than the joker's daughter.

@@tiredox3788 that depends on which version of Joker's daughter you're going with. however I will agree with you that she is a far more complex character than Joker's Daughter ever was. I disagree with J, because far from being an angty sociopath, I think she she is fully aware of her actions and simply does not care. the world is falling to crap, so why pretend like it isn't? instead, why not ride the crazy roller coaster and add some of your own twists in for kicks? she's much more complex than we can ever imagine, and I'm sure when she is dropped into the mainstream DC universe in full force her character will further develop, but already I'm seeing her as being just as if not more complex than even the Joker himself in some ways.

J just imagine joker with chaos magic

@@PiousWildcarde That's just a part of Joker's character. Punchline's not that complex. She's just an imitation at the moment.

Was good Shaggy

Oh god they gave us a hint, in the joker movie, but we didn’t get the joke "Ok I’m waiting for the punchline"

Joker Would be the last person that I would accept a drink from.

There's no punchline. It's not a joke

I mean it was basically an initiation to make sure she wasn't full of it and would freeze up and stop before trying to kill someone.

But tell me hero Harley isn’t her best iteration

Exactly, I feel like the whole punchline character is forced.

@@smhsav that’s exactly what icthought

That makes her a uninteresting and lame character tho... She's just like Supergirl, Batgirl, Stephanie brown and all of those females who are copy and pasted from male characters. Atleast with harley, she had personality... Y'know, one of her own. "I love my mistah J!" And crap.

@@graysonred470 ok but the fact that she just wants to be evil is literally the plot of a famous book i don't remember the name but a guy used a science potion to make himself look different and then does whatever he wants with his new identity but stops when it starts to have consuquesnces Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde i think was the name

I wonder whybso many people thought she was transgendered 😆

Whoever made this origin story and thought it was good deserves a slap in the face.

After what marvel and DC been trying to release lately (Snowflake......Chinese Bruce Wayne.....and more) this is alot better direction and straight forward so I like it. Sometimes you gotta slowly return to your roots, ya know.

Stand Name: 「T H E J O K E R」 Stand Master: Punchline

@@YellowDogWithCone Localized Stand Name: The Comedian

She reminds me of Scarlet Valentine

Your next line is: Is this a jojo reference?

I came down here to comment that

The Barrel of Laughs? Or the Deck of HORRORS?!

Luis-Raul Diaz-Rios Maybe more "The Clowns" Because Joker has a Clown look of personality. Harley was the same, now Punchline.

Just call his family a Circus

Luis-Raul Diaz-Rios he’ll call them the circus

That actually sounds like something he would do.

People like her have been around since the Fall of Man. It's only more apparent now because modern society has become more godless than generations before.

Almost every Robin is just a kid that got together with Batman, so I kind of don't see your point. She has guts to poison someone quite cruely and I believe that with the right guidance from Joker she could be relativly same of threat as him.

@@baggyyy Eh I don't she would ever really surpass joker, she's also kinda boring but who knows she become a badass but its unlikely

@@Platnium.Hunter kind of boring? She's been around for 4 months..... Jesus y'all don't like NOTHING

@@christopherjones5085 But he clearly likes Joker so he does like sum. Just cause he don't like this character don't mean nothing. Foh u goof.

Does Punchline know how to fight? How did she learn?

you're serious, aren't you? You're telling us you killed three young man on the subway? And why should we believe you?

*The REAL Joker* : HA! I get it. (shoots Murray and Arthur Fleck dead) A shame these saps didn't see the PUNCHLINE! HAHAHAHAHA!

smashmaster521 😐

It doesn't make any sense, tbh.

It's meant that you want to be her.

yeah I now how you feel

I didn't understand anything, but I relate

I thought i was bad at explaining

More chemistry? OR HE SWITCHED CIGS???

HER OWN PARALYTIC.....joker teaches her shouldve been obvious.

That was bothering me throughout the entire read. I imagine it’s like trying to breath mace into someone else’s face. In other words, what a dumb thing to do.

How did I not consider that? Oh yea, cause tits.

joker prolly helped her out

How many times have I told you about puns?!?! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!!!

HEYO!

Yeah me too! And I don't really know why they didn't get married?

@varietychannel5000 i hope not. catwomen is mastermind thief

@@a.h4224 well... Batman has a soft spot for her and stops her every once in awhile but he really has A LOT more to worry about in Gotham than some thief stealing jewelry

varietychannel5000 because if Batman is married to cat woman she’s gonna be his priority and keeping her happy not Gotham pretty sure he even said that

Tyler and if Bruce Wayne Marries a master thief and then the next day you see cat woman and Batman being together it’s gonna get hella suspicious

Batman has Damien to carry on his legacy. I think it's only fitting for Joker to have a protégé carry on his. I 100% understand you, but Joker is far from stupid. He knows that the Batman legacy is going to outlive him. So to keep up this twisted poetic charade, he's going to make a nemesis to rival Damien.

Joker has had harley as a partner in the past. So your statement that he doesn't do partners is simply FALSE

Wl harley is gay now... well Bi, so the alphabet community own her now, sad if you ask me.

@@mikethepokemaster2012 she was or alteast has been teased for the longest time now.

The Harley Quinn character has been ran into the ground.

They ruined Harley Quinn

Micahl Taylor you know nothing about comics bruh. Harley has had arelationship with Ivy for almost as long as her run. If you don’t like it don’t read comics

HEYO!

smashmaster521 Alola!!!

Muhammad Hashir why did they change her to a white girl tho, when she’s introduced as asian? And all her appearances she’s been asian. That’s the one thing I don’t get.

Josh O correction they made her look like one but isn’t one

@Philip mcgrath wanting chaos for chaos sake is a clear line of thought..

Honestly, I feel like Joker wouldn’t allow that.

Some men just want to watch the world burn, but in this case, some women want the world to burn

Harley has Turned Anti Hero so she won't see her as a Threat as much as a Victim which could turn out Interesting

Harley’s been helping out Catwoman and Bats these days. Just check out Tynion’s Batman comic going on right now, it’s where Punchline is introduced.

Punchline shows up between 9- 5ish ,makes smart-ass remarks to Joker , don't help out the Joker with his plans & has a sidekick who goes Well ,well, well. Harley sees this , busts out laughing & switches over to the Batman family, calling herself Bat-Quinn.

Was the founder named Scott or Zack?

@@smashmaster521 its pretty obvious its scott

You caught that too huh?

Dan "Nickelodeon Girls" Snyder

she seems to be insinuating they're equals, either way.

I rather they be equals, Harley Quinn was too much of a fan girl, punchline looks like her own villain

No ew? Well sorry to disappoint you sir but I like her that way

I guess but robin is also considered batmans partner its usually a platonic term, although mayeb she has feelings for joker thats unreciprocated

Right how joker go from an abusive man and selfish to loving this college girl ?

Totally. I’m expecting maybe a betrayal from Joker down the line in order to bait Batman or something.

@@keepsmilingtoday same

I’d be pissed too. It would feel like he changed his whole ways for some girl, but in the comics it literally shows that joker doesn’t like someone as equal to him in that way.

Same, I'm a Harley fan and have to admit I'm biased against Punchline. The whole grooming situation with Joker and Punchline's age gap is gross in my opinion too.

In 20 years there gonna turn Punchline into a lesbian just like Harley

I like her as a villain

Or she may be like marvel's carnage in response to turning venom into an antihero much like with harley quinn

Dylan Sharp jokers bastard child, yeap.

if DC still exists it is.. Might be also just in a year or two. Depends if they need another Ip to ruin. She is going to be black, trans, pansexual then. Or whatever the next step of insaity is.

Yeah, “she’s not like other girls”

@@OrNge127 origin of a psychopath

I think what they mean is that while Harley Quinn is kind of a good person who happens to be a drug addict, that drug being a killer clown. Punchline's just a bad person. Harley Quinn is like the showman part of the joker, She's big, she's flashy and sometimes funny. which is when we love the joker. Punchline is all the parts of Joker, we hate like when he murder Jaos todd or when he hurts or kills innocent people. Harley Quinn had a big fantasy about her love curing the Joker and it being a fun ride, and that just wasn't the case. If I had to guess Punchline is like that 2nd Harley turned Neo-Joker in Batman: White Knight. She's just going straight to the point. She's not hoping she makes the joker better, she enjoys him better awful and wants in.

I'd call Punchline the obverse of Harley -- different side of the same coin.

Anti doesn’t always mean complete opposite FYI. It also means opposed to or different from the conventional form, think anti-hero.

@HaremGodRance She is a victim and why does everyone keep saying that? Is only deadpool allowed to be wacky and break the 4th wall?

He means antithesis. Harley's the butt of the joke. The one who gets beat up on. Punchline is the anchor, they both have strong senses of humor and she can sustain herself.

You realize Harley has had nearly 30 if not 30 years of comics, cartoons, etc. etc. of development while Punchline has had a few issues? Maybe give the character time to breathe and grow a bit?

The harly show might go off the air

@@elijahblechman8633 why?

@@twigs3410 A lot of steaming shows are losing backing because of the virus, plus the contracts and moving to hbo max. Harley was in the middle of it

@@elijahblechman8633 😢

Being a fan girl with no other motives is such a boring origin and idea for a charakter. And then her costume looks like shit! It's not cool or aesthetic and it looks useless in a fight.

I think the difference between Harley Quinn and Punchline is this. Harley Quinn is kind of a good person who happens to be a drug addict, that drug being a killer clown stuff. Punchline's just a bad person. Harley Quinn is like the showman part of the joker, She's big, she's flashy and sometimes funny. which is why people like the joker. Punchline is all the parts of Joker, we hate like when he murder Jason Todd or when he hurts or kills innocent people. Harley Quinn had a big fantasy about her love curing the Joker and it being a fun ride, and that just wasn't the case.

@@assembled1855 So true ,

@Aut0 Zer0 Why not ?

Yes kudos to you that you'll be able to get your hands on it.

I really hope not, I'd much prefer seeing her have a semi equal parts, because there is not equal in joker's mind, but she could get close. I feel her becoming the love interest would dampen any growth she could have. They might screw around but I hope its not serious.

She doesn’t strike me as the foolish type, I mean, this girl is crazy, and not in a goofy way either

He’s gonna fall for her. Because that my friend Is the punchline

Yeah I think it will be the other way around, Joker will fall for her and she will not be into that.

Joker is not going to fall her, at least I hope not. I bet they'll come into conflict at some point because that's the nature of joker. Plus I guarantee you she'll end up being a strong independent lesbian, if my knowledge of social trends is accurate.
