Why Death Battle shouldn't do The Joker vs. Green Goblin?

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I know I been writing a lot about the web show Death Battle. I been considering doing a series that won't be done often for many reasons. But at the same time, I felt it is necessary since so many people doesn't know a good fight. Bias or not, you should still look into the other character even if you dislike em.

I kept seeing often a particular bad fight request I just needed to do a blog on. How many people on the internet will it take for this one to get your thin skulls? I am talking about another Marvel vs. DC fight that's not just a stomp but also simply unfair in it's own right. I'm talking about DC's The Joker versus Marvel's Green Goblin.

I won't be covering this like my usual prediction blogs since I felt you guys should just get the raw facts more directly. Also I felt if I were to treat this like one of those, it would be an insult to you all. So don't mind if I do as I will personally tell to please stop requesting this fight. In fact, there's a lot of debate videos that usually has Green Goblin.

So I felt it would be more than just wasting their staff's time & efforts. It is also wasting everyone else's time. This fight for me is way too clear cut for this to even be called a fight. This is more on the lines of a slaughter waiting to happen. Trust me when I say The Joker is screwed, there's no good scenario where he could come out on top.


Where to begin for such a horrible fight? In just comparing their arsenal, The Joker uses whatever he finds or built. Usually using stolen firearms, an bazooka and his own gadgets. The problem however is Green Goblin uses superior technology that was once used for the military. Thus it is leagues beyond anything The Joker has on him.

For example, sure The Joker could throw a grenade but you are still likely to survive. Even if you ended up on the bad edge of the stick. You still could have a chance to survive. But not from a pumpkin bomb that could kill several people with ease. Of course, we need to talk about his glider. This thing easily allows Green Goblin to have control over the fight at any time.

By default it is armed with missiles & blades. Green Goblin also has remote control that allows him to still use it while being off of his glider. Also The Joker won't be able to hit it with majority of it's weapons. Even if he got luck firing a rocket that hit it, I highly doubt that would be enough to stop it from working.

In just stats wise, this is a huge stomp in favor of Green Goblin. The Joker is actually weaker than an average people while Green Goblin has strength rivaling Spider-Man. At best could lift up to twenty five tons. Unlike The Joker, Green Goblin's suit also acts as armor that's durable to tank point blank explosion.

Now I know what some of you are probably thinking, "Couldn't The Joker use the Joker Venom to kill Green Goblin?" Well here is the thing a lot of people either don't know or doesn't even realize. Green Goblin's mask was designed with a gas filtering system that would prevent harmful gases. Thus he could breath it in but by the way it reaches his mouth becomes just palm air.

Sure The Joker is more unpredictable. But Green Goblin is also a genius that does have some of The Joker's traits. Such as building stuff, working with chemicals and a clever strategist in combat. Hell at times, they lead a group of super villains before. I highly doubt The Joker could manipulate Osborn to taking off his mask.

Even if he were, chances are Green Goblin already has a surprise waiting for The Joker. It is likely his glider with blades will fatally wound The Joker. Obviously The Joker has a long history with Batman. Who also has some similarities with Green Goblin. But the real problem is The Joker even with his plans doesn't really take anyone serious.

Sometimes he doesn't stick with his plans while Green Goblin is more of planner out of the two. To sum this up, The Joker in every sense of the word isn't able to do any real harm to Green Goblin. In vice versa, Green Goblin has plenty of options of killing The Joker. His mask prevents the Joker Venom from working.

His arsenal alone greatly trumps anything The Joker could get his hands on. His glider easily allows him control over the fight. This thing can be used in doors as well making this very difficult for The Joker. Green Goblin is very likely isn't going to be manipulated by The Joker. Hell he has proven to be a superior strategist in his own right while being more on superhuman levels in comparison.

Winner: Green Goblin


Now I do get why a lot of people are interested in this fight. Both of them wears purple & green that laughs like an maniac. They're both nemesis to an masked super hero. Obviously they done a few related fights like Bane vs. Venom & Batman Beyond vs. Spider-Man 2099. Clearly this is simply something that may sound great on paper but actually doing it is a horrible idea.

There's plenty of major differences between these two that already speak volumes before anyone speaks about it. The Joker is immune to all forms of toxic while Green Goblin got a lot more powers. The Joker uses whatever he finds while Norman built his own arsenal that was suppose to be for the military.

Even how they actually go about a fight is very differently. The Joker either doesn't put up a fight in some canons to being an excellent street fighter. Whom rivals Batman whose a black belt with a lot of fighting styles under his belt. Green Goblin easily has options to fight on the ground or in the air. The Joker simply didn't have enough options to deal with aerial combat.

At any given time, Green Goblin could quickly change up this fight. The Joker couldn't do anything to prevent that from happening. The Joker's fighting skills doesn't even matter because when a normal person punched Spider-Man, it actually broke their hand. Considering Green Goblin does scale to him in stats.

It is likely The Joker's punch will quickly come back to bite him. He can't even prevent being straggle to death or fight his way off of his hand. In just moving speed alone Green Goblin in two ways is simply too fast for The Joker to keep up. If this blog doesn't get you guys to stop requesting this fight, then seriously I feel sorry for you especially if it actually happens on their show.

Well oh okay DBX version I'm fine with but please don't make this an actual episode. It will likely be done in 2D animation. The Joker already had a great fight with Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth. Please don't ruin that by making this fight happening. Also Green Goblin does deserve respect but not like this.
