User blog comment:Thundrtri/Season 2: The Joker (Nolanverse) VS The Joker (Burtonverse)/@comment-4661256-20130228014742

'El Alamein's "Bob? Gun." Edges:'

 Melee: Stiletto, Butcher Knife, Bowie Knife, Baseball Bat vs. OTF Knife, Combat Knife, Stiletto, and Razor:  Burtonverse Joker's melee weapons are far more combat practical - generally speaking (where the Bowie/Butcher knives and baseball bats are concerned), they're longer, allowing for a reach advantage, and deliver greater stabbing/slashing power or greater blunt trauma to the victim. Nolanverse Joker's intimidation weapons are too short to be used efficiently in close-quarters combat.

Edge: Burtonverse Joker

''' Close Range: S&W 15-3, Colt New Service, Webley Mk. VI and M1911 vs. S&W Model 19, Glock 17, and Beretta: ''' The revolvers are all moot - even the S&W 15-3 with its ridiculously long barrel, which might be played for gags but won't be combat effective thanks to its bulkiness. Nolanverse Joker has a major advantage with his fully-auto Glock 17 and semi-auto Beretta, which are simple to reload and have larger magazine capacities than Burtonverse Joker's only semi-auto weapon, the M1911. Yeah, the M1911 has a larger caliber magazine, but when both warriors are resistant to pain, it's quantity of bullets fired, not quality of the shots, that will be the deciding factor here.

Edge: Nolanverse Joker

 Mid Range: Double-barrel Villar Persoa and Thompson vs. S&W M76 and MAC-10:  The M76 and MAC-10 are the more compact, maneuverable weapons here, and they're intimidating to look at - a sleek black weapon like that sends a statement. But the Villar Perosa and Thompson have such enormous magazine sizes - 60 rounds and 100 rounds - that Burtonverse Joker's team can literally spray and pray the entire battle and not have to worry about reloading. That's 1,000 rounds coming at you nonstop if all 10 of Burtonverse Joker's men are shooting at once. That's a wall of lead nobody - not even the Joker - can walk through. Nolanverse Joker's 30 round magazine doesn't compare.

Edge: Burtonverse Joker

 Special Weapons: Random Prank Weapons and Smilex Venom vs. Remington 870, Type 56, and Frag Grenades:  The random prank weapons are not going to be combat efficient at all - sure, they're creative, but they're stupid, and the Joker won't fall for his own tricks. The Smilex Venom is a wildcard that could turn the tide of battle, but the shotgun and assault rifle on the Nolanverse Joker's team is going to give them a massive range advantage and the frag grenades allow them to pack heat on Burtonverse Joker's team with an explosive vengeance.

Edge: Nolanverse Joker

 Vehicles: Green and Purple Sedans vs. School Bus:  I like the school bus because it's big - a formidable urban tank that can be a weapon in and of itself thanks to its size alone. But the Sedans are more maneuverable and there's 2 of them, meaning Burtonverse can attempt to "divide and conquer," or split up his team and fire from multiple directions, if he pleases. Both vehicles give their respective warriors a huge advantage.

Edge: Even

WINNER: BURTONVERSE JOKER

Neither of these warriors are truly combat competent - they're ruthless, sadistic, and brutal, and they're willing to sacrifice their men if it means proving a point, but neither of them can really aim a gun and make accurate shots like a trained soldier would be able to. Ultimately, the sheer amount of firepower than the Burtonverse Joker is bringing in mid range is going to carry him to victory - with horrible accuracy abounding on both sides, Burtonverse Joker is going to be able to mow his opponents down with a horizontal wall of lead. As scary as Nolanverse Joker is, several shots from the .45 caliber Tommy Gun on full-auto will take him down like anyone else.
