Joker vs Penguin
Joker vs Penguin
I was given an assignment on what characters I would pit against each other and why so here it goes…
We all see good vs evil but what about evil vs evil? I have always like the character of the Joker in all his forms, TV, movies, comics and cartoons. But the bad guy I’ve always been creeped out by is the Penguin. I can never stand to watch him. When I try, I grimace the entire time.
What story line would I give them to go head-to-head? After much consideration, I decided what if the Joker has knowledge with chemicals and weapons, either through mass hypnosis or brain washing. A chemical leached into Gotham’s water supply or even implantation of a device injected into humans getting vaccinated causing citizens to become violent. A mass hysteria ensues so the Joker could be in control of Gotham. Look at all the possibilities and problems it would cause for Batman.
But what if Penguin wanted to control Gotham too? Not being as smart or lack thereof for the right materials, he decided lets steal this from the Joker and his henchmen. So Penguin decides Harley is Joker’s weak link, poor Harley gets kidnapped so Joker will hand over the goods at least that’s what Penguin thinks.
But lets say to complicate matters further Batman is incapacitated so he can’t help. What if a newcomer among bad guys, for argument’s sake say Harley’s brother decided to leave behind his criminal past and be the hero. This would be an incredible scenario that may never play out, but in my mind it would be amazing to see.

Joker by far! He’s one of the most iconic villains in American history let alone in comics. He has so many different versions and variations and is such a deep interesting character.
I like Penguin more than The Joker but I love the joker too. My favorite Penguin is Burgess Meredith and my favorite Joker is Heath Ledger. But I like the Penguin more.
Both are great, but I love crazy funny!! JOKER!!
I’ve never really seen/read/heard much of The Penguin, contrasting to the massive amounts of the Joker I’ve been shown, and considering the fact he fascinates me (and he’s just such a good villain), Joker wins my vote
This would definitely be an interesting scenario.I can see the Joker coming out on top,putting Penguin in a fridge,or zoo ice exhibit.Btw,Meredith’s “wack quack” phrase drives me batty! No pun intended there lol. =)
First of all, I believe that most of us can agree in the fact that Batman has one of the most iconic galleries of villains that would rival any other superhero. However, in terms of the battle between Cobblepot and the Joker I think it is hard to pick against the Joker. The Penguin is a great villain in his own manner, but the overall impact that the Joker has had on Batman as well as been practically and ideal for villains is second to none. Think about the impact that the Joker has had on Batman in terms of psychological, physical, emotional, the test of a true villain is the impact he or she has on his rival hero, and when people think of Batman they think of three other things; they compare him to Superman, they think of the Batmobile, and they think of the Joker.
Joker
Hmm…..I’m going with…. Penguin. Original.
Jokerrrrr!! Crazy, but brilliant, he’s one of the best villains ever!
Joker
Hands down, it would be the Joker anyday!
Penguin
The circumstances of Harley being used as pin for the grenade that is Joker surely would be the biggest mistake of Cobblepotts carea. With the psychotic, bollistic link the dynamic duo of the Villains world have and the lengths Mr J would go to to get his Doc back are truly underestimated by Mr Cobblepott. Should this occur it may be the end of the Penguins reign, even life.
Both are excellent characters but The Joker has always been my favorite.
This is brilliant I like this thought. 😀
I agree using Harley would mean the end of days for Penguin. While Cobblepott is cunning and well organized, the sheer force maniacal will that is the Joker.
…would be too much for Oswald to handle
Gotta go with Joker, he’s always been a favorite of mine.

By far the Joker I love his sarcasm 🃏
Joker,
Jorker
I guess is the Joker with Harley.And they don’t have any idea who want to stop them.
I have probably read more joker led stories than penguin. Probably skews my taste
For me, I like both of them. But I do want Joker much more. He’s the most insane DC Comics villain I know. So my vote goes to JOKER! HA-HA-HA
Joker. The KING!
Joker!!! Indeed one of the best villains in comic history.
Joker is my favourite villain! I choose him because he is not a good guy at heart, he is no being with “human” traces and that’s what makes him so fearsome, so excellent at being the bad guy. Penguin is not a good person either, of course, but he still hasn’t given me as many chills as Joker’s madness and line of thinking has! 🙂
