Me and my Joker Obsession.
The Joker has always been my favourite comic book character of all time, so naturally ... I got the sinister urge to register it as my username once I was made aware of freeones having a message forum. :hatsoff:
But yeah, even as a kid ... I always liked the Joker more than Batman. That was me. I was the villain type. Didnt matter which franchise we were talking about, Skeletor ... Starscream ... The Shredder .. Doc Ock ... Lex Luthor ... I always preferred and found the villain more interesting to some degree over the hero. However, my absolute favourite was
always the Joker. Back in 1989 when the Tim Burton film was in it's theatrical release, I remember having this friendly rivalry with a friend of mine in grade school who always wore a few Batman t-shirts each week ... so naturally ... I wore a few Joker t-shirts in return. Eventually, we both started wearing watches. And you guessed it, his was a Batman watch .. mine was a Joker watch. During Halloween, he came to school as Batman, and of course I was the Joker. Batman on NES was about the only damn game I remember playing that year, and yeah .. about the only TV I remember watching (outside of TMNT of course) was the Adam West Batman tv show which was airing on the family channel at that time, and obviously I always enjoyed the Ceaser Romero Joker episodes a little bit more than the others.
Eventually, I began collecting comics, and anything (which was affordable) with the Joker was considered a must have. Almost 20 years later ... not much has changed.
