The Joker should have been a woman. And she finally went insane because too many random dudes told her to smile, so now she perpetually smiles while terrorizing Gotham.
She becomes a sort of folk hero for the women of Gotham. She unleashes financial records for companies that don't compensate women properly. She blackmails cheaters and misogynists. She threatens the goddamn Patriarchy. It's terrifying and wonderful.
The Batman needs to stop her to restore the order of things, but on some level, he's conflicted. She's a villain. But she's right.
Her catchphrase would be "Well, ACTUALLY ..." and then she'd just trail off and laugh maniacally.
OMG, y'all, I suggested a girl should be in a comic and they are so, so mad and I can't stop laughing
oh my god, what if I'm the Joker and I just wrote my own origin story without realizing it

LOL, these guys in my mentions who are mad that I suggested - SUGGESTED - a girl Joker wouldn't last a fucking day as a woman.
Imagine getting this mad because someone suggested the bad guy should be a girl. But when we try to fight back at the government regulating our bodies we're hysterical and out of line.

DEFINITELY NOT UPSET ABOUT THE SUGGESTION OF A GIRL BEING IN A COMIC BOOK, NOPE, NOT AT ALL TRIGGERED
THE WAR ON MEN, HOUR 21: The women continue to harass us w/ their demands for equal pay, paid maternity leave, and representation in both the government and comic books. The men shudder at the idea of a female joker. Sandwich reserves are low and the women refuse to make us more.
The War on Men, Hour 38: We continue to explain that there is ALREADY a female Joker, so there's no need for another one. Anyway, let's make another Batman with a hetero cis white guy in the lead because it's been five minutes since we've done that.
I made this in Microsoft Paint and it took me a very long time and I regret nothing.
This was fun, but I need a little break from Twitter. If you are interested in cool women who make comics, THERE ARE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF THEM, but you can start with the amazing work of @GWillowWilson @fionastaples @kellysue @TessFowler @gingerhazing @LockettDown.
And if you are interested in my work (thank you, you weirdos), you can check out my blog or my book. Okay. Mwah mwah mwah I LOVE YOU ALL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SMILE UNLESS YOU WANT TO.
