Talk:Joker VS ???/@comment-27648339-20160518213200/@comment-25182985-20160518215859

I mean let me put it this way.

it comes down to one factor - substance over style. Joker is theatrical, comical, has a flair for making everything, from his weapons to his hideouts to his girlfriend, fit his entire clown persona. Sweet Tooth just likes things that kill lots of people. That greater focus means that head to head all of his equipment is just that bit better at killing.

As a bonus, there is no way around it, Joker would be dead a hundred times over if Batman didn't hold himself back and fight Joker nonlethally. Meanwhile, every single person Needles goes up against tries to kill him as hard as they can, and canonically he survives every single tournament.

As an aside, I really do hope they start this thing in car combat. Just let Joker have the corrupted Batmobile from Arkham Knight.
