And we can see in MHA All Might had more than enough conviction to kill AFO the second time around despite failing and sending AFO to prison. Since All Might recieved a grave blow to his chest or torso in his first battle against AFO, All Might was losing the ability to use his power over time, so the second battle was more or less the last time All Might delivered a powerful blow using up the rest of his power.

He does that by letting the judicial system do its job. Faith in the system is the only way Gotham doesn't need a Batman. Everyone blames Batman like there are dozens of cops, judges, attornies, and psychiatrists that couldn't have done something. Even just deciding he's fit for trial and doesn't need to go to Arkham.

He made his mark on the world and there's nothing anyone could do about it. That's why he's scared here. If he dies to Frank, then he's just another criminal the Punisher gunned down. He's not special, he didn't do anything life changing. He's nothing, nobody. He dies as another common thug, just another name in the long list of Frank's victims.

[@itlog3722]

Batman is such a Joker simp.

[@NerdAlert8910]

Punisher in Red Hood would get along really well.

[@gamemasternintendoo]

And it’s stuff like this that makes me hate the whole superhero genre. You have villains like the joker who kill people just for the sick and twisted pleasure they get out of it, yet instead of putting him down like the rabid dog he is, Batman continues to lock him up in a facility that is not able To contain someone like the joker. I mean seriously!!! Where are the geniuses of the DC universe? Get a couple of them together, get them to design an escape proof prison!!! Hell!!! Get Superman to use the phantom zone generator on the worst criminals like the Joker. Villains who are Irredeemable

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Because then writers couldnt use him again

[@deliciouswaffleong]

Punisher doesn’t fuck around

[@StudioPluche]

Quite difficult not to side with Punisher on this one.

[@changvasejarik62]

I do miss the days where even Joker had enough fear and Selfpreservation instincts to surrender when outgunned.

[@multigatawny5204]

Remember when back in the day DC and Marvel were doing a lot of crossovers? Good times

[@BlazingOwnager]

"He is just a brawler, pure rage and brute strength." Tell me this was written by a Batman fanboy without telling me it was written by a Batman fanboy... Punisher's one of the few characters who plans and plans and plans almost as much as Batman, he just does so with lethal intent.

[@atomic747]

I mean..does punisher know other fighting techniques aside from when he was in the marines?

[@plasmahandoku1073]

These are one of the few times Joker was actually scared. Other than the time when he tried to play a prank on Superman he took it serious where it wasn't even fun for the Joker. Punisher on the other hand is the direct opposite of what Batman's code is and the moment Joker saw this he was shitting himself. If Batman never intervened he would have been a dead man.

[@FerretJohn]

While Punisher rarely engages in hand-to-hand he isn't "just a brawler", he has extensive training in military close combat. True, he is no match for Batman, but he can fight without guns.

[@yarukay5749]

how sweet of batman to protect gothams criminals from the punisher

[@M613M]

Whats with all the random comments of people that have never heard of a crossover? Just wait until they find out that Superman and Wonder Woman held Mjolnir...

[@nihilsnake4017]

I remember when I did that to the Joker (I am literally The Punisher)

[@Mae_Dastardly]

No you're not rigby! Raccoons can't be the punisher dude they're not big enough

[@hot_soup4319]

Mfers be like "Batman should kill Joker already" like, what's literally stopping anyone else though considering Batman literally won't? Like you just just wait until Bats is preoccupied with something and just snipe Joker from a rooftop. Hell Joker makes a big show outta everything, you're telling me no one civilian owns a gun in Gotham and is willing to shoot Joker during a monologue? Red Hood almost did it but insisted on making a show out of it and luring Batman to him, coulda shot the J-man from square 1. Joker's been arrested countless times, not one cop is willing to risk prison or getting fired to just shoot a literal terrorist? Why doesn't Batman kill Joker? Iunno probably for the same reason no one else does.

[@glitchedoom]

I just want to scream "because then there wouldn't be a story" to all the comments like that.

[@hainleysimpson1507]

The fuck? That's not true. If the writer can't come up with new interesting things then the writer is a coward or not that good at creating original ideas. ​@@glitchedoom

[@seniorprrotm8163]

The in universe explanation it's because most people in Gotham including villains know that Joker is coming back eventually, and they don't wanna have him coming for them when he does When it comes to heroes, they usually leave it to Batman because it either isn't their city, they feel like Batman needs it, or Batman stops them to save Joker, the one time he didn't was because Harley made a situation where he had to choose between saving Joker's life of hers

[@Meldrick-jv7sy]

I understand Batman doesn't want to kill Joker. But the fact he went out of his way, to stop someone else from doing it. Is baffling to me.

[@seniorprrotm8163]

He usually does that. A LOT. The one time he didn't was because Harley forced a situation where he had to choose between saving Joker or her

[@JoeElJalapeno1810]

If i recall corectly theres a run of punisher were he admits that hes "relationship" whit jigsaw aint mutch diferent than the one of batman and joker

[@tarn1135]

Ah the days when the major comic companies actually had crossover limited series events.

[@WayFinder42]

This feels like a commentary by the writer about a lot of the awful writing of "morality" in Batman stories... and they're totally right

[@lonestarwolfentertainment7184]

The thing about the Joker is that he doesn’t want to be killed by anyone EXCEPT Batman (and sometimes Superman), he wants to be the one to make the Superhero break their No Killing Rule, any other type of death would be unsatisfying.

[@joebob7998]

When I heard jigsaw I just thought tobin bell LOL

[@illiteratearfi]

2:33 I just realized that this panel of Punisher looks exactly like the panel of Bruce from Batman Year One.

[@NotJoeBro]

If it weren’t for Jason kicking the shit out of him hand to hand, I’d love to see him vs Frank in an ideological battle

[@JohnBerry-q1h]

The Punisher would steal Joker’s acid-squirting boutonnière, and use it against him. Same for the handshake joy buzzer.

[@davidsavage5630]

I would like to see Heath Ledger's version of Joker in this scenario. I think he was smart enough and fearless enough that if he had just enough heads-up on what Punisher was all about he could have gotten into his head too. Not saying Punisher wouldn't still kill on sight and that he wouldn't be a harder nut to crack than Batman....just that THAT Joker wouldn't make it so easy. He'd have something up his sleeve that muddied the water enough and confused Frank enough that he'd still be a worthy adversary. He'd have to KNOW beforehand that Frank absolutely will shoot him dead with no hesitation though. Give him that and he'd figure something out..

[@NeoRazgriz]

Ironically, the dumb mind games Joker likes to play with people do NOT work on Castle. Castle KNOWS he is a killer and doesn’t care or apologize for it; because his results speak for themselves. Punisher had better results versus the Joker after only 1 fight; compared to the countless encounters Batman had with the Joker. How necessary IS Batman since his methods against the most vile criminals always seem ineffective? They always escape and do more harm to others with no resolution (no justice or punishment)

[@jdeckgaming3565]

Redhood would love the punisher

[@GenerationX1984]

The 1990s Spider-Man cartoon on Fox Kids is the first place I ever saw The Punisher. This was before I knew about the 1989 Punisher film and the 2004 Punisher wasn't even out yet.

[@NhBleker]

I wish a crossover like this was possible nowadays as a result of Injustice and the dark multiverse existing in DC comics that gives us Injustice Superman, and The Grim Knight who are what Frank Castle is, but who didn’t stop and became worse monsters than those they were fighting against. It be interested to see someone like The Punisher confront these individuals, where it be like looking into a mirror and it challenging him on where does he cross the line to not become like these twisted individuals, or if what those like Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and etc have actual substance in why they don’t like like he does.

[@Bugoboy]

this made me hate batman

[@langbo9999]

Batman is the man who didn't lost hope in Humanity But The punisher did.

[@judesheckelberg5135]

Bruce Wayne only has faith in his costume.

[@Cosmic_DBD]

3:40 reminds me of that one quest in the Witcher 3 lmao

[@GENTSEVE101]

Batman and The Punisher are my two favorite comic characters, the experience of reading both is very different, so expectations are different. I will say though that every time i see a version of batman that goes too far dark, that gets these airs and pretentions that batman should be just a grimdark street vigilante while forgetting that he is also a superhero who kids irl look up to, i just think to myself, old frank clowns little bruce at this stuff, 24/7

[@diglettunnel.kaneko]

He needs joker so he can be the worlds greatest detective Otherwise what will he detect

[@ericwisniewski5651]

If punisher and batman formed a team of team work they coukd end crime in every city near

[@asce2crazy]

Punisher and red hood would probably get along

[@c.m.cameraman7918]

Also it appears Frank hasn't learned his lesson the last time he tango'd with Batman.

[@elikyiael8740]

the joker don't give a damn about dying, he basically dies in every major turning points, evil justice league and all that

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Joker hates dying a meaningless death, he wants batman to kill him to break him but this wouldnt work on Frank. Frank is the perfect counter to joker

[@aliceslab]

Unlike Batman, he's a good person because a bad person would let bad people keep doing bad things .

[@JRGProjects]

If Joker faced Daredevil, Moon Knight or Scarlet Spider he wouldn't make it.

[@CalculusIsFun1]

If Punisher was in Gotham, either Sinestro or Atrocitus (or both) would have a powerful new recruit.

[@sndchamp9949]

Batman-Watches Punisher openly kill 15 men* Also Batman- Stops him from killing joker literally ten seconds later*

[@seniorprrotm8163]

Seems in character, he usually goes out of his way to prevent murder only when it's Joker

[@c.m.cameraman7918]

How in the hell? Thought these two are from different universes.

[@Ayocassofficial]

Jigsaw? The guy on the tricycle?

[@TheKing-uu7jn]

A marvel dc crossover I never expected

[@Rugz-smoke]

No one’s been humbled
