hi

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Yes! Please make more videos like this! Heck, i'd love to see the following covered if you don't mind recommendations: * Who is the deadlier killer with a gun- Golgo 13 or Deadshot? * Would the Guyver control metal be unstoppable in the Dragon Ball Universe? * Unicron vs Galactus ( why not?) *Aptom vs Cell ( who has the better absorbsion Abilities?)

[@lenoreyt]

You could do who is smarter, Ayanokoji or Light? Or maybe Ayanokoji or L?

[@Prantikde]

Do you read manhwa or LN? If so, can you scale Nirvana Jin Mori from God Of High School or LN Sung Jin Woo from Solo Levelling?

[@GodKnowsWhatIsInHere]

The difference between this and the Batman-Kira case is that the Joker isn't really doing anything to prevent L from figuring out his real identity. This is less of a "L vs Joker" and more L being curious about something. Learning his identity isn't really all that relevant to stopping him from doing crimes. Imagine L going "I finally know who Joker is", and then the Joker blows up a hospital anyway.

[@hugomventura]

Only way it can be considered a loss or win is if the joker actually agree to the terms. L has to actually announce his intentions so that the joker does what he does. otherwise the joker will just play anything off because from an outsiders point of view it's just L being interested in the red hood.

[@Paradox-es3bl]

Well, L has to figure out the identity AND catch/stop him. And he could only do that for 1/3 anyway. But unlike Batman, I don't think L would be like, "I know his identity but it doesn't matter." He'd be like, "I figured out 1/3. Execute that one." Which is still a loss, but 1 less Joker is a win for Gotham and all of DC's Earth, really. Sometimes even beyond Earth lol.

[@diveblock2058]

i mean joker would probably just straight up kill L (or torture him) if we are being honest like joker would find it entertaining that L is trying to find him but probably get bored and just blow him up (and by him i mean the city he is currently in)

[@WhoIsStrongestCommunity]

U

[@koutaconnor9453]

@@diveblock2058 It's really really hard to imagine that happening considering how cautious and anonymous L is. There is no insensitive for L to reveal himself in any way as it would not get him anywhere close to finding out the Joker's identity because L would most likely without much hesitation execute the Joker after achieving that. This match just doesn't make much sense to me. L does not need to get too close to the joker to find that out and therefore the Joker would have no real reason to gun for him.

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

The recent Gordon comic reminded me that Joker isn't just some crazy dude. He's ingenious and meticulous. All the insane things he does has a purpose, but the only person who truely knows that purpose is Joker.

[@shastacat9632]

joker doesnt even know the purpose

[@nechocat1234]

As always with comics that depends on the writers, in recent times he is mostly just a crazy dude with tons of power, the thing about joker is that he was never ment to challenge batman's mind henis there to challenge his morals, he is the chaos to batman's law. The one that is rightfully smart as batman is the riddler, when the writers don't make him into just a joke from the adam west era he is as smart or maybe smarter than batman, while batman is only able to defeat him thinking outside the box

[@psychicsidekick4198]

The Court of Owls, League of Assassins, Joker and Bane at minimum have a strong chance, considering the 4 groups/individuals have outsmarted Batman on multiple occasions. Most others have no hope. Certain rogues may not count as "human" for the purpose of being killed by the book, like Poison Ivy or Clayface, due to their altered biology. In those cases Kira may simply be shit-out-of-luck. But normals like Crane, Cobblepot and Nigma? Dead instantly.

[@wititorac]

@@psychicsidekick4198 To be fair, I think Movie Light managed to orchestrate a death such that the person killed someone else? So it’s possible he could maybe get another person to kill Ivy for him if Ivy doesn’t count as human for the purposes of the death note.

L finding out Joker's identity means absolutely nothing. He would hear it announced and then do what Aaron Sanchez said and just blow up a hospital to prove it means nothing.

[@darthparallax5207]

Batman would understand the rules of Light and L are high end Detective work game theory, and threats of death don't count if the game strategy dictates something else would happen if the other guy is smart. Batman demands Light to kill the Joker. If he doesn't do it, he's a bad person and a hypocrite. If he does do it, it proves he's Kira. Or Batman approves of L asking if he can put Light on the spot with this high pressure question. Making Light interact with the Joker would bring evidence that Light is Kira out faster. Light is more dangerous and evil than the Joker. And Batman is willing to gamble Joker's life to catch Kira. Kira gets the same kind of exceptional treatment Joker does to a level beyond the Joker gets. L and Batman put together easily take down Light with no win scenarios.

Yeah, it's kinda silly treating this specific origin as canon and then wondering why no one figured it out. It's easy because you're falling into the trap of taking the Joker on his word. In all likelihood he didn't even have "one bad day", he just had a degenerative neurological disorder that lead him to go mad over time, then he retroactively applied a twisted philosophy to justify his behaviour until he was so far gone that he didn't need it, by which point he was already obsessed with demonstrating it. Even if he was confident in what his backstory is, he's not a reliable narrator, especially after how often he's gone to Arkham Asylum (whose founder electrocuted his first patient during shock therapy, was home to Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and the second Black Mask during their prior careers in psychology, and is notorious for having doctors experiment on the patients).

Also, he can only figure out 1/3 Joker's identities. But assuming Red Hood/Killing Joke Joker is the 1st Joker (which I don't think he is but let's pretend for a second), then L can win in Year 1 and the other 2 Jokers possibly never exist. However, if I remember right, there's basically classic-Silver Age Joker, from the 60s and stuff, who is canonically the 1st Joker. Pretty sure Killing Joke Joker is then the 2nd. Because I think he's from the more modern era. Not even sure which is the 3rd? I'm gonna guess the one who cut his face off? Seems different enough from KJ Joker to be a 3rd lol. But who knows?

If Light does exists in the DC Universe, then The Riddler has finally found a worthy opponent, since both of them are narcissistic geniuses who is obsessed with finding out their identities through names.

I just keep rewatching Death Note. It’s short enough to binge over and over, like Invincible, and it’s just so good. While people complain about the second arc, and it does indeed have issues, it is still great (especially the soundtrack, if you listen to the anime while gaming like I do). So I love to see any videos like this that goes into a more realistic outcome of certain moments in the ani-manga, and videos that see if L could discover other villains or real criminals and vise versa if other villains or heroes could discover and arrest/kill Light or kill L.

[@Chessbox09]

I just watched Death Note for the first time, it’s just so gripping. I’m watching it again just after finishing it, something I’ve never done before.

[@rustyshackelford3590]

Joker is basically a villain with plot armor because everyone loves him so much

[@daltsu3498]

Making the victory condition arresting the joker, is weighing this heavily in lights favor. The joker regularly escapes from the police and allows himself to be caught very consistently.

[@docomega7862]

Exactly, the only win condition would be to arrest him, sentence him to death and actually carrying out the sentence. That is of course if L doesn't care about proving the joker's ideology by killing him and doesn't want to rehabilitate him like batman

[@tananatana4011]

Yeah, but the police in DC is so embarrassingly incompetent lol. Joker usually just turns himself in and pleads for insanity despite that making no sense. If L caught Joker in his early days, he would've executed him right there and then

[@Kashlikaro]

L would whip Gotham's law enforcement into shape with terrifying efficiency, assuming he didn't just pull the national agencies into his game first. There wouldn't be any 'incompetent official somehow lets the Joker out' for the Joker to abuse, L would seal the holes in his net first, before casting it. Likely through illegal means, depending on how much he wants to win the game.

[@Alistair_McCullom]

L can figure out jokers plan and maybe even how to stop him but actually having the capability to do it is something else entirely

Batman actually does know Joker’s identity. He speaks to Alfred in one comic that he knew who the Joker was a week after meeting him and the only reason he doesn’t reveal it is because he is keeping Joker’s family(his wife and son who both lived), in hiding so neither the Joker or others would be able to find them.

The only advantage L has up on Batman is that if L gets a hold of Joker he would have no qualms about killing him. If he deduced that Joker is too big a threat to keep alive, which I’m sure L would figure out, he’d have him killed immediately.

This fight is more of a "why bother" scenario. Either give L the ability to go back in time to when Joker was less mysterious and catch him in the act of a crime, or face the force of inevitable entropy.

[@beirirangu]

I love the "theory" that The Joker is aware of the 4th wall... in that he's pretty much the ONLY being in the DC universe that's aware of it... for example: the lasurus pit always turns the user insane, as if all of their mental processes have left them... but when Joker uses it... he becomes a normal person... So his motivation can't be anything logical or sensible to anyone in that universe, because his entire purpose is to make a thrilling storyline and entice the audience... us... insanity incarnate... if he wasn't correct

[@diefty94]

Easily. Batman has caught him 100 times.The hard part is not catching him, it's keeping him in the revolving door that is Arkham.

[@Mr_Edward_Nigma]

well it is explained that joker doesn't fully try and him sometimes WANTING batman to catch him, plus considering that godlike entities can't even find out who the joker truly is its going to be one hell of a challenge. plus joker himself admits not even he knows his past and if he is going to have multiple he might as well choose what backstory he believes.

[@diefty94]

@@Mr_Edward_Nigma that keeps changing depending on the writter, for example in 3 Jokers It is explained that Batman always knew the who the Joker was. In most versions he is just a regular insane criminal, nothing special compared to Light Yagami who had top level intelligence and supernatural help from his Note, Misa and the Shinigami. The Joker is not a challengr to Batman as a detective, he never was, he is a challenge to his morals. It's not about wether Batman Will catch Joker, it's what Will he do after he gets him, kill him and break his n1 rule or follow the law. That was what Killing Joke was all about. Joker knew that he would get caught easily so his plan was to prove thqt good men like Batman and Gordon could turn bad like him.

[@CausticSalsa]

I find it interesting that it all depends on when "L" is interested in the Joker's case. Although I think Joker could find "L"'s location, since he knows about the league of assassins and the court of owls, ancient secret societies that even batman has had trouble proving their existence or he might find it because he is traveling and haunting random cities, since he doesn't have a batman that has him in one place. Speaking of the court of owls, do you think "L" could find each of its members?

[@AzraelThanatos]

As one other major thing with regard to this is that a lot of it also seems to point towards Joker still being as Gotham focused as he is...with L replacing the Batman, that, probably, also unchains Joker there and while Joker has struck elsewhere, if he's viewing L as a rival, things are going to get extremely nasty for the entire world. Kira is a killer, but I'm pretty sure the "Clown Prince of Crime" could cause a whole lot more death and destruction on horrific scales, and with the world as his stage, well, there isn't a reason to leave more intact enough for later "fun" in messing with his opponent. A lot like how a lot of his capers outside of the city end up being nastier. He's also done things like stolen nuclear weapons a few times, and mass gas attacks and more...and he has zero compunction about using them. And if there are other villains in the world, he's also frighteningly capable of getting them together and getting them to do things which L, well, isn't as capable of. Something like gassing the UN to distract from a raid in Interpol HQ for finding L's identity if he wanted it... Of course, there's the entire mess that with everything about Joker, it's been rather consistent that, with Batman, he does not want to know his identity, knowing that would ruin the game...and on top of that, with Joker you also have the thing that 99% of the time, he's portrayed as having almost nothing to do with his prior identity as it no longer matters for him. And that's if you don't end up with a Return of the Joker scenario where things get even worse...or the virus Joker version. A big chunk of the thing between Kira and L is that Kira had his own principles that didn't devolve into mass slaughter
