A while ago I wrote a silly little script about The Joker coming out as trans. I intended to try and voice act and animate it as a new project, but ran into the horrors of the flesh. I'm pretty sure I haven't posted it publicly before, so I've decided to do so now. It's so much in the style of Solidjj that it might actually just be plagiarism, but whatever. I think you can really tell from some of the punchlines it was written in 2024. I hope you enjoy?
Joke-her: That's right Batman! I'm a woman now! *cackles*
Batman: Okay.
*pause*
Batman: And?
Joke-her: Don't you get it Batbrain? You're a cis man! You can't beat me up and send me to prison to be subjected to violence by the state. It would be problematic! You'll get destroyed on tumblr!
Robin: People still use tumblr?
Batman: Woman or not, I won't let you blow up the mayor's office, you crime clown!
Joke-her: I would never blow up the mayor's office, Batbozo! I'm just a humble trans woman out for a stroll! This is profiling! Stereotyping! Prejudice!
Batman: I'm no fool! We just saw you enter the mayor's office carrying a large bomb! And then leave his office! Without it!
Joke-her: Why batbuffoon, that was merely my bag of gender affirming feminine hygiene products! Which I used. In the mayor office women's bathroom. I'm a woman!
Batman: Feminine hygiene products?
Joke-her: Gender affirming feminine hygiene products!
Batman: Bought with taxpayer money, you fiend?
Joke-her: Of course not! The mayor struck down that program! That's why I'm bombing his office! *cackles*
Batman: You monster! Take this!
Robin: Batman, wait! I don't feel good about us beating up a trans woman and sending her to prison to be subjected to violence by the state.
Batman: Robin, it's the Joker.
Joke-her: Oho, deadnaming me, Batboob?
Batman: What
Joke-her: So much for woke superheroes!
Batman: What are you on about, Joker?
Joke-her: My new name, Batbum, is Joke-her! Remember it, for it is the name of your doom! Joke-her, the clown princess of crime! That's me! The Joke-her!
Batman: You- I don't- Joker, you can't tra-
Robin: Joke-her
Batman: Thank you, Robin. Joke-her, you can't transition just for a pun! That's making a mockery of real trans people and the struggles they go through
Joke-her: Actually, Batignoramus, transitioning just for a pun is the most trans thing you can do! Tell him, my henchmen!
Henchman: Yeh, boss! Dat's extremely trans of yous!
Henchman 2: It sure do be, boss lady! You tell that transphobic tool of the corrupt hegemonic capitalist establishment what's what!
Batman: Hah! What would hired thugs know of such things?
Henchman: Actually, we're all trans men.
Henchman 2: Dat's why we're "henchmen" instead of the more inclusive "henchpeople"
Henchman 3: Yeh, using generalized terms when a specific one is more accurate is actually transphobic. Like using dey/dem when-
Batman: That's it! Take this, you goon!
Henchman 1: Woah! Goon? I don't do that sort of thing! I ain't no pervert!
Henchman 2: Batman thinks trans people are perverts?
Henchman 3: Batman thinks trans people are perverts!
Batman: I- I- I don't-
Joke-her: Batman thinks trans people are perverts! We're going to cancel him! On Twitter!
*Joker checks notes*
Joke-her: Wait, it's 2024.
Joke-her: Batman thinks trans people are perverts! We're going to cancel him! On fediverse! *cackles*
Batman: Not if I punch you first!
Robin: Stop, Batman! You can't punch her! She's right! We might be able to blame you sexualizing trans people on an AI deepfake, but we'll never get away with beating up a trans woman and sending her to prison to be subjected to violence by the state!
Robin: Wait, does Arkham send trans women to the women's side or...
Joke-her: Men's!
Robin: We'll never get away with beating up a trans woman and sending her to prison to be subjected to violence by the state!
Batman: Then what can we do, boy-wonder? We're helpless against her schemes.
Robin: I don't know! Unless...
Robin: Holy Hormone Replacement Therapy, Batman! Perhaps if we were to also transition into women, then it would be okay for us to beat her up and send her to prison to be subjected to violence by the state!
Batman: By golly! You're right, chum! No time to waste, let's get to it! Begin manifesting your breasts!
Joke-her: *cackles* You've fallen for my dastardly scheme, batdoodoohead! Don't you see?
Batman: No ! You don't mean...
Joke-her: That's right, Batshit-for-brains! You can't transition into a woman because there ALREADY IS A BATWOMAN!!!
Batman: Damn! She's right! It's hopeless
Robin: No! We're doomed!
Joke-her: *cackles* That's right Batwhitecisman! You were beaten by the Joke-her! The Joke-her! Do you get it? The Joke-her. See, it's like The Joker, but with an extra "her". The Joke-her. It's clever.
Batman: Yeah, we got it.
Joke-her: Okay, okay. I was just making sure. Joke-her. See? It's clever. Joke-her.
*long pause*
The mayor's office: KABOOM
