What would be the point of that? They'll just start funding some other whack job if one of them dies.
How would you address the Joker Paradox?
You do understand this is the plot of literally every else world in existence, right? Oh wait I forgot: Yas Forums doesn't read comics
If you actually cared about leniency in the JL's killing policy you'd want him to kill an intergalactic despot like The Monguls. This is just an attempt to make people talk about your favourite character who no-one cares about by forcing him into a thread about an entirely unrelated character
You missed my point. Fans would say "if he had killed the rich crime bosses and street trash immediately, there wouldn't BE any supervillains."
>Superman could just put his hand through his chest like he did in Injustice
>apparently respects Bruce too much to actually kill the one person that causes him the most trouble
There are more important threats to Earth than a crazy guy dressed like a clown. Bruce needs to see the bigger picture, especially the fact that his rogue's gallery is full of non-powered lunatics who don't really pose a threat to people like Superman or Wonder Woman but are put on a higher pedestal so as to make Batman seem strong.
Obviously the JLA should proactively kill galactic threats. That's a nobrainer. It still doesn't make sparing the Joker make sense.
I think Joker needs to be used as a toxic charismatic villain, in the sense that he pushes people to commit the crimes while having an endgame in mind. The thing is, Joker is able to maintain his status because nothing is sacred to him, so in order to achieve whatever insane goal he has, he need to put his own people and his enemies in situations that they need to sacrifice something to stop him, only to realize that his sacrifice is meaningless. Otherwise, he should really just be an insane party, without any allegiances or thugs, working in the shadows, as some sort of foil to Batman's methods, but needing to steal from the mob for his resources.
It would be so easy for 99% of the JLA to kill Joker with minimal effort.
No.
