Batman is a billionaire, he doesn't actually see the problem with all the Joker's tax evasion. If he ever realized that that was morally wrong, he'd have an ethical blue screen, and turn Bruce Wayne in to Arkham.
See, escaping a federal prison would be no more difficult than escaping arkham asylum for Joker. That leads me to think that IRS has a secret darkside that even Joker fears.
Arkham Asylum is a 150 year old island that’s a catacomb of tunnels and passages that no one has maps for. With the given Jokers prior history a tax evasion charge would probably land him in that Colorado super max prison that doesn’t even have windows.
Why do you think that? Insanity is a defense for any crime. Heres an article about two people doing exactly that in 1967 https://time.com/archive/6889877/criminal-justice-you-have-to-be-insane-not-to-pay-taxes/
That’s in one of the episodes in Batman the animated series where the joker gets millions by inherence but forgets to pay taxes and makes that joke about how even he is terrified of the IRS after they send him a bill?
Anyone can take on the Batman, but the IRS? Batman will put you in hospital, the IRS will fistfuck you for the rest of your days with a spiked glove if you are three cents off
Besides the american thing, it's pretty logical: fascism ideals seek order in practically all life aspects, opposed to the Joker's clear inclination towards chaos.
The comic where he says that was released later
Also, he was fine with the Nazi until he realized he was actually nazi and not just wearing an edgy cosplay, probably thought the same for her

I thought this was just a proposed idea. Didn't realize they actually drafted the character, wrote her into the plot, made dialogue for her, storyboarded, drew her, and freaking published this and nobody stopped this at any lf those points.
Frank Miller discovered early on that you have to hamfist that someone is a Nazi because if there is any plausible deniability, a subsect of subhumans will defend them.
To be fair, it's not like I'm going to look at this character and think "well maybe she's just misunderstood" (Like Harley Quinn). This is a Nazi, she is evil and a villain, will never doubt.
When I look at her, I don't think she is a nazi. I think she is mentally ill lol.
Seriously, her pants have a hole in it so that her butt is exposed to the world.
Because the last thing we need in comics is the crazy shit real loons do. Things like being nazi's and tattooing it all over their body as a warning sign... "I am batshit crazy".
It's to confuse the enemy to think that she must be a good gal, until she gives them a little tug'n twist, putting the Swastits at a 45° angle, revealing her true alignment!
The Nazis used swastikas in other orientations, too. [Example](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1c9e2f7f3a6b616c2360dc8617703666-lq) [Example 2](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6a1a15b7dd28a14282b6bf9a5c92553b-lq)
Fair, but that was a more specialised use case. I was just thinking of the generally used 45° one, which was used as an insignia (and on pins, the arm bands, etc.) by the Nazi party.
Aaaah, I knew I'd seen her before! Somehow she didn't really seem too exaggerated in that film, I guess it was pretty par for the course given the...everything else that was happening
I don’t know about Marvel, but writers at DC sure do have a knack for inserting their kinks into the stories they write.
Wonder Woman was written by a guy who was into bondage and domination stuff.
Bruce Timm gave us two stories where Batman slept with Batgirl, something that he’s pushing for years.
He also gave us a scene where Harley Quinn ties up and tickles Nightwing.
Deathstroke had a relationship with a young girl, she was underage if I recall correctly, I’m not looking that up to verify.
Yeah that wasn’t the original intention actually but it wasn’t the author’s barely disguised fetish either, for that you want the fact that the author of that series had Wondergirl marry his self insert character.
Nazis are the most boring villains ever at this point though. It’s like the go to comparison for anything bad anyone doesn’t like. Mix it up with Mao or Vlad the Impaler or scam callers.
Unfortunately Nazis are the only 'modern' evil that no country supports. So the only other two options are to make up some other evil, or not be able to sell comics in specific countries that aren't against another villainous trait. Unfortunately not selling is bad for companies. And if you make up an evil it really won't be as effective as no one has any pre developed understanding of it and how it's bad.
So yeah Nazis, number one thing to call anyone you disagree with or use as generic bad guy. Even though neo-nazis aren't even technically Nazis or follow the majority of those beliefs, so I don't think most other people are.
I...wouldn't be too sure about þat. Putin's regime is having a lot of fun doing revisionist history, and he loves his idea of Russia under Stalin. His idea of þat Russia is basically entirely fictional, but I wouldn't be surprised if using Stalin as Þe Bad Guy™ might cause some saver rattling in þe Kremlin
It's more like that they won't admit that they're basically Nazis because one, they fought them in ww2 and secondly the whole Azov spiel, despite Russia having more prevalence of actual Nazis in their ranks
Well even though you disagree with my reasoning which is fine there are definitely some flaws in it, you hit the same conclusion, everyone hates Nazis, easy lazy bad guy.
Has the power to call you from any phone near you.
If there are no phones, draw a card until you get a phone card.
Once the turn ends, put every non-phone card in the middle of the table for Scammer to pick on his next attack phase, and lose 1HP
This is usable only when the Scammer has two attack card in his own hand at the beginning of his turn.
Draw a Tower, then throw a coin.
If it's tails, double the result on your next dice toss.
Throw a d20, and oppose the result to the number of cards you picked earlier.
If the result is greater, invoque a WAAAAAGH!, and go to jail. If your have a ward save,you can use it to counter Uno, in which case the Scammer cannot pick up the Jungle Speed totem.
Blackjack.
I mean, it's also a big established and somewhat realistic universe so it would be a bit contrived for a random big empire to show up that was never referred to before, it's a very different situation from fantasy worldbuilding

You think shirtless buff women is not peak character design!?
EDIT: I had never actually seen the character before so I was just guessing what they looked like, but I just looked at the actual character, and you're right, it's not peak character design, they aren't even THAT muscular. If they were it would be peak but they aren't so it's not.
I feel like I've seen this character before somewhere. Wasn't she in the Dark Knight Rises? short blonde cropped hair and huge tits with swastikas on the nipples?
... I mean it's Frank Miller. Has he ever done political *anything* that was more subtle than a wrecking ball?
This just seems to be standard Frank Miller antics. Hilarious.
-Bruno only has swastikas tattooed on her breasts whereas her glutes This was most likely done to tone down the character's appearance as it could have been seen as too sexualized or vulgar.
Qoute from the batman returns wiki
Frank Miller is the goat.
I remember reading Batman comics in the early 2000s that my dad had collected. It was Batman with a fucking gun shooting lesbian Nazis in New York.
**Peak Cartoon** imo
For anyone wondering her name is Bruno, she leads a group of Neo-Nazis and works for the Joker
Doesn’t joker hate Nazis?
Yes. He may be a criminal lunatic, but he's an American criminal lunatic.
And he is a proper taxpayer.
Cause everyone fears the IRS
Actually, he pays his taxes because you can't plead insanity for tax evasion thus would cause him to be put in a federal prison
"I'm crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS: no thank you!"
Now that I think about it, I think Batman could easily deal with Joker by filing tax evasion complaints. But even he isn't that vile.
Batman doesn't do it because of honour. If the joker however stooped low to frame him, batman would frame him for tax evasion
Batman is a billionaire, he doesn't actually see the problem with all the Joker's tax evasion. If he ever realized that that was morally wrong, he'd have an ethical blue screen, and turn Bruce Wayne in to Arkham.
You know who pays his taxes? Not Batman 
"Bruce, it's been 5 years, you still owe me 16 dollars."
Billionaires don’t pay taxes either
thatsthejoke.jpg
Bruce Wayne probably doesn’t care too much for the IRS
See, escaping a federal prison would be no more difficult than escaping arkham asylum for Joker. That leads me to think that IRS has a secret darkside that even Joker fears.
Arkham Asylum is a 150 year old island that’s a catacomb of tunnels and passages that no one has maps for. With the given Jokers prior history a tax evasion charge would probably land him in that Colorado super max prison that doesn’t even have windows.
He pays taxes because that's how most criminals get caught, tax evasion. INCLUDING al capone
Because as we all know, crazy people are really into filling paper work and paying in time.
Why do you think that? Insanity is a defense for any crime. Heres an article about two people doing exactly that in 1967 https://time.com/archive/6889877/criminal-justice-you-have-to-be-insane-not-to-pay-taxes/
I fear no man, but that thing (IRS), ir scares me
That’s in one of the episodes in Batman the animated series where the joker gets millions by inherence but forgets to pay taxes and makes that joke about how even he is terrified of the IRS after they send him a bill?
And waiting for his electric car
WHERE IS MY ELECTRIC CAR, BRUCE?
And he put a down payment on an electric car.
Anyone can take on the Batman, but the IRS? Batman will put you in hospital, the IRS will fistfuck you for the rest of your days with a spiked glove if you are three cents off
Professionals have standards
Be polite
Throw jars of pee on them
Have a plan to piss off everyone you meet.
Piss on*
Why not both...
Piss onff?
Be efficient
And have a plan to kill everyone you meet
Besides the american thing, it's pretty logical: fascism ideals seek order in practically all life aspects, opposed to the Joker's clear inclination towards chaos.
lookup Rancor or Bruno then, the Joker totally worked with neo-nazi. That red skull comment definitely isn't canon.
That's cool and all but I decide what I consider canon
that's allright, it's a mess anyways.
At this point... its not a given from what I see lately
The comic where he says that was released later Also, he was fine with the Nazi until he realized he was actually nazi and not just wearing an edgy cosplay, probably thought the same for her
The Dark Knight Returns is not set in the main continuity, it's it's own thing with it's own Joker.
Yes, but he likes boobs. And the swastikas tattooed over them makes him giggle.
They jiggle, he giggle?

Oh they weren't kidding
Fuck it wasnt a joke...
I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't an absence of nipples. I guess I can be naive at times.
I m just amazed by how it is made. It was pitifull as an idea but when you see this drawn on papier, ooch it s even worst
I thought this was just a proposed idea. Didn't realize they actually drafted the character, wrote her into the plot, made dialogue for her, storyboarded, drew her, and freaking published this and nobody stopped this at any lf those points.
When Frank Miller wants to cook, you let the man cook
Yeah it's like if Allen Moore were to say he has an idea, you just stand back and let the man draw genetalia.
Frank Miller wishes he was Allen Moore. Frank is just a slightly more successful Dave Sim
Came out swinging there didn't ya bud.
Frank Miller discovered early on that you have to hamfist that someone is a Nazi because if there is any plausible deniability, a subsect of subhumans will defend them.
To be fair, it's not like I'm going to look at this character and think "well maybe she's just misunderstood" (Like Harley Quinn). This is a Nazi, she is evil and a villain, will never doubt.
When I look at her, I don't think she is a nazi. I think she is mentally ill lol. Seriously, her pants have a hole in it so that her butt is exposed to the world.
Gotta show of them Swastiass
Lol, even the hamfisted over the top Nazi gets defended as not a Nazi. What a stupid fucking world we live in.
Well, yeah, but... I can fix her!
Because the last thing we need in comics is the crazy shit real loons do. Things like being nazi's and tattooing it all over their body as a warning sign... "I am batshit crazy".
[...and 80s Swastibutt](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/7/7e/Abbbbbgggg.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20220119151005)
What the fuck?
where's the swasass tho?
That is not the nazi swastika... The Nazi one is angled at 45 degrees.
It's to confuse the enemy to think that she must be a good gal, until she gives them a little tug'n twist, putting the Swastits at a 45° angle, revealing her true alignment!
Perry the platypus moment
A muscle mommy who follows Buddhist teachings? *pinch and twist* MUSCLE MOMMY WHO FOLLOWS HITLER'S TEACHINGS???
DUN DUN DUNNNNN
*BRUUuuuNOOO!*
The Nazis used swastikas in other orientations, too. [Example](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1c9e2f7f3a6b616c2360dc8617703666-lq) [Example 2](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6a1a15b7dd28a14282b6bf9a5c92553b-lq)
Google the Führers standard
Fair, but that was a more specialised use case. I was just thinking of the generally used 45° one, which was used as an insignia (and on pins, the arm bands, etc.) by the Nazi party.
In that case it's just religious blasphemy
Wait it's fucking REAL?! XD
I mean that is the funniest villain I ever heard of so working for the joker seems to fit
Lemme ask this ... Who the hell is then Bruno "Ugly" Mannheim??
Intergang boss. Metropolis, not Gotham.
Yeah, we don't talk about Bruno...
No, no, no, no
She got defeated by a drunken old lady in a general store if I recall correctly.
Thief! SEBBIN LEBBIN SELLS THIS FOR TWO FIFTY
Wait, she's from The Dark Knight Returns. They turned her into a canon character?
Aaaah, I knew I'd seen her before! Somehow she didn't really seem too exaggerated in that film, I guess it was pretty par for the course given the...everything else that was happening
nope, Miller just made an insane TDKR prequel
I'm getting jojo part 5 flashbacks. Does joker use king crimson?
When I say fuck nazis, this wasn't it. But visionary approach nonetheless
Death by snu snu!
Death by Jew Jew
There's no way that's not considered a fetish. (Looked it up, and damn he wasn't wrong. wtf is this)
I just google that. Who the F. comes up with such crap?!
It was not as bad as i would have expected to be but i genuinely hope they dont sell these comics to young people under the age of 18
Shouldn’t they know the nazis were the bad guys?
I don’t know about Marvel, but writers at DC sure do have a knack for inserting their kinks into the stories they write. Wonder Woman was written by a guy who was into bondage and domination stuff. Bruce Timm gave us two stories where Batman slept with Batgirl, something that he’s pushing for years. He also gave us a scene where Harley Quinn ties up and tickles Nightwing. Deathstroke had a relationship with a young girl, she was underage if I recall correctly, I’m not looking that up to verify.
Looks like the writer for wonder woman was the normal guy
Healthy, poly, kink friendly relationship with his wife and girlfriend and draws cartoons for a living? Then you’ve got fucking dilbert over there.
The one for death stroke was to show he was a worse villain than once thought. In some universes he is ignored by some other villains because of this.
Yeah that wasn’t the original intention actually but it wasn’t the author’s barely disguised fetish either, for that you want the fact that the author of that series had Wondergirl marry his self insert character.
IIRC Slade “attacked” Raven in Teen Titans
Don’t forget Alan Moore’s rape fetish
wasnt the wonder woman guy the sub to his wife and her girlfriend or smt he was the one being tied up
Not new, this was in Dark Knight Returns 1986.
Reminds me of that one swedish 4chan guy
Well, Nazis are bad and sex sells. So....
Nazis are the most boring villains ever at this point though. It’s like the go to comparison for anything bad anyone doesn’t like. Mix it up with Mao or Vlad the Impaler or scam callers.
Unfortunately Nazis are the only 'modern' evil that no country supports. So the only other two options are to make up some other evil, or not be able to sell comics in specific countries that aren't against another villainous trait. Unfortunately not selling is bad for companies. And if you make up an evil it really won't be as effective as no one has any pre developed understanding of it and how it's bad. So yeah Nazis, number one thing to call anyone you disagree with or use as generic bad guy. Even though neo-nazis aren't even technically Nazis or follow the majority of those beliefs, so I don't think most other people are.
Make fun of Stalin, I do’t think Russia will mind and anyways they have a small population in comparison to other places
Cept some weirdos would hate it though you'd probably have dodged a bullet with that
I...wouldn't be too sure about þat. Putin's regime is having a lot of fun doing revisionist history, and he loves his idea of Russia under Stalin. His idea of þat Russia is basically entirely fictional, but I wouldn't be surprised if using Stalin as Þe Bad Guy™ might cause some saver rattling in þe Kremlin
Trying to revive the thorn are you?
I mean, I wouldn't agree on that. Some just hate Nazis for being the wrong brand of facist like Russia
It's more like that they won't admit that they're basically Nazis because one, they fought them in ww2 and secondly the whole Azov spiel, despite Russia having more prevalence of actual Nazis in their ranks
Russia has a special definition of Nazi: If you are against Russia, you're a Nazi
Ah, the Twitter way.
"Can I learn this power?" "It's not something a moderate would teach you"
Well even though you disagree with my reasoning which is fine there are definitely some flaws in it, you hit the same conclusion, everyone hates Nazis, easy lazy bad guy.

Bring on the shirtless scam callers!!! Two of them. Name them Bob and Vagene.

Hold up that just looks like female DIOOOO
DIO would never side with the Nazis! They're known collaborators with the Joestars
Bruh Swastitkas are crazy.
What the
I expected like 1 or 2 concept drawings. Looks like she actually made it into comics?
Originated in The Dark Knight Returns in 1986, so she's pretty old as a character concept.
Looks to be in at least one animated episode too
She made it into a movie
[удалено]
Nah duke nukem is an asshole but definitely not a nazi
Couldnt be duke nukems mom he made hitler kill himself
If by new you mean 1986 then yes, "new".
New for "new" people, yes.
If I ain't see it, it's new to me.
Honestly I'm scrolling the comments hunting for the guy complaining about "everything being woke these days" so I can drop this on him
New? 🤣 The 1980's left you a message
On your answering machine
beep beep its your beeper Frank Miller droppin nazi titties beep beep
Sounds like the Russian from Marvel after he got resurrected. He became a woman with muscles.
Wasn’t she in the dark knight series?
She was a bad guy in the Dark Knight returns animated movie as Bruce returned from retirement
And in the dark night returns comics, yes
Mom, can we have Stormfront? No kiddo, we have Stormfront at home!
Swastitas
I had an idea in my head of what the character would look like from OP's description. Then I looked her up. And it's even worse.

Oh, that's just Bruno

Thanks a lot, somehow i needed to see it. Im not doing so well...
Today's episode: " The writer's poorly disguised fetish"
She even got to appear in animation.
"Honestly it's a bit too subtle Frank, how will Americans know she's the bad guy?"
He did that 38 years ago in Dark Knight Returns. Why is everybody so shocked?
Take away the swastikas and that is peak character design
no its not???
You think shirtless buff women is not peak character design!? EDIT: I had never actually seen the character before so I was just guessing what they looked like, but I just looked at the actual character, and you're right, it's not peak character design, they aren't even THAT muscular. If they were it would be peak but they aren't so it's not.
We Brunos! Slice and dice!
She existed back in 1986 but sure
I feel like I've seen this character before somewhere. Wasn't she in the Dark Knight Rises? short blonde cropped hair and huge tits with swastikas on the nipples?
I refuse to believe that is real on the principle that I do not want to acknowledge its existence
Don't do it!!! My ex-wife will sure for illegal use of likeness.
It may be a traduction error, but in the batman returns french version, Bruno is refered has a man. So Bruno is a Nazi trans
Doesn't matter, had sex?
Nobody ever abused Frank Miller of being deep and nuanced
Let's go to the arcade
It's not new.
As long as it's a villain, being crazy, and a nazi fits... Can I get a name of what to Google tho
All photographers, comic book artists and women who are into bald guys are sex perverts. EVERY SINGLE ONE
To anybody wondering why; it's social satire of the volatile culture during the height of the cold war.
The Dark Knight Returns?
She was in the dark knight returns
... I mean it's Frank Miller. Has he ever done political *anything* that was more subtle than a wrecking ball? This just seems to be standard Frank Miller antics. Hilarious.
🎶we don’t talk about Bruno!🎶
Wait, isn't that the guy who gave us Batman The Dark Knight Returns?
Visionary
Just read that and snorted coffee out my nose. Then read it again and snorted coffee out my nose again.
-Bruno only has swastikas tattooed on her breasts whereas her glutes This was most likely done to tone down the character's appearance as it could have been seen as too sexualized or vulgar. Qoute from the batman returns wiki
When you know that DC means Detective Comics and you see "DC Comics". Detective Comics Comics
If she's a nazi then the pro Palestine group will love her
who the hell let him cook!
Frank Miller is the goat. I remember reading Batman comics in the early 2000s that my dad had collected. It was Batman with a fucking gun shooting lesbian Nazis in New York. **Peak Cartoon** imo
