And how about why Joker is now a cable man with his face-ripped off, how about an explination for that.

How he lost his face is explained in the first volume of the New 52 Detective Comics. Him being a cable man or rather dressing as one is all explained in death of the Family.

No, I meant a real world explination why they'd take an iconic character and do that.

Real world I could see joker actually doing it

Because the author had the idea to do it and it was greenlit? :lol

Yeah, the N52 Joker is just down right stupid. Almost Adam West stupid.

No, Adam West atleast had a sense of humor. The N52 Joker is just the latest example of what's wrong with N52. Like what they did to Starfire, and Catwoman.

Don't get me started on Starfire.

Speaking of Batgirl, they rereleased Killing Joke a few years back didn't they? I might have to brush up on it since it's still a part of Batgirl's continuity somehow.

Read more Batgirl on the way to work, the scenes with Nightwing were confusing to say the least. It seems she has more history than the whole universe at this point.
