A completely different Joker is a Solo series

O'Neal's approach caused an explosion in the popularity of the Joker. It was then that the famous editor Julius Schwartz came up with the idea to make a separate series for the Joker. And why not? It's interesting - an extremely popular hero as the main character gives a huge field for testing, do a "shohosh". He is visually interesting, his actions are unpredictable - the decision to provide a separate series to such a character seems to be a logical step.

Danny O'Neill, the "hero of the occasion," was signed for responsible work. And they immediately warned about "certain restrictions" (yes, comics are for children. Even about the psychopathic clown): The Joker had no right to kill, say bad things, do ordinary outrage and always had to be punished for his deeds. (Short awkward pause) What's the big deal?

The result is almost the strangest collection of stories about the character. The Joker series was released during 1975-76 and lasted nine issues. After that, they tried not to think about him. Each episode followed a format - the Joker conceived an escapade, tried to pull it off, did a bit of debauchery in the process, failed, ended up in "prison" again, or just got an existential kick. In the solo series, the Joker appeared in a more bizarre, caricatured form than in the issues of the 50s-60s - he was an enchanting idiot who faced events in the genre of physical comedy of the Keaton-Lloyd spill. He really missed the mustache that he could twist while he was talking out his next sinister plan.

Another interesting detail is the absence of Batman. At least in person. This may look strange, because it is believed that the modern Joker exists to fight Batman. But that's a small thing, because the Dark Knight's world is more interesting without him. Oh, Neil ingeniously got out of this awkward situation. Everyone knows that the Joker and Batman are similar to each other, so why not make the Joker Batman, but without changing anything - it's just that the Joker actually performs Batman's duties. That is, he runs into all sorts of trash and scum, spoils their mood and breaks the comedy. He even got a Jokermobile and his own Alfred (but for one issue). The funny thing is that it's quite in the character's style and even highlights his unpredictability.

Why did this happen? The sacramental "why not" explains a lot, as does the glorious word "because." About the Nile, you can understand. It was a challenge that offered the opportunity to try "something completely different, sort of."

There is a term in the literature called "awakening." The thing is that perception in everyday life becomes automated and some things stop registering with consciousness. The difficulty lies in the fact that something familiar, even some hackneyed, is presented with a new, amazing thing that was seen for the first time. As the author of the term, Viktor Shklovsky, wrote, "makes a stone stone." And that's exactly what O'Neal did with the Joker in this episode. He decomposed the character into its components and turned it into "some other", a strange Joker. كود برومو 1xbet اليوم Telegram. هذا الرمز يفعّل مكافأة ترحيب بنسبة 100٪ تصل إلى 130 يورو، مثالية للرهان على الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز ودوري أبطال أوروبا أو مباريات كأس العالم. يمكنك وضع رهانات أكبر على فرقك المفضلة، وبناء رهانات Accumulator عبر عدة دوريات، أو تجربة رهانات الشوط الأول والنهائي باحتمالات محسنة. أرصد المكافأة سهلة الاستخدام مع 30 يومًا لاستيفاء شروط الرهان. انضم الآن واستمتع برهانات كرة القدم برصيد معزز يمنحك الأفضلية.
