"Stop eating my perch! I'm trying to attract females here, you're making me look bad!"

“I’ve always been alone, so I don’t feel the lack. It’s all I’ve ever known. I’ve never experienced loss because I’ve never had a loved one to lose. But what is grief, if not love persevering?”

Kansas City Builds Free Community For Homeless Vets

Kansas City Builds Free Community For Homeless Vets

Friend: "Thank you for introducing me to minimalism."
 
Me: "It was the least I could do."

Reminds me a great deal of this cartoon--

He once was asked at the time why he was playing a Nazi since he was Jewish he replied "I'm an actor. If I can play Richard III, I can play a Nazi" He also insisted that Klink never won against Hogan or he was out the door.
 
I have not seen Operation Eichmann, but it's hard to believe that four years later he would be Klink after playing that bastard in Judgement at Nuremburg.

He was murdering people since his very first appearance.  He would interrupt radio broadcasts telling the people of Gotham who he was going to kill and what he was going to steal.  The police couldn't stop him--only Batman could.
 
The thing about more modern portrayals of The Joker is, that to my mind, he comes off as little more than Ed Gein in clown makeup.  Where's the criminal brilliance?  Where are the grandiose schemes that promise to be both lucrative and hilarious?  Where are the playing card references?  Nowhere that I've seen lately.

On the subject of Faerie during WW II, there were other regions and peoples defined for that dimension in additional Champions 5E/6E books. One was first raised in Champions Of The North, with further elaboration in Golden Age Champions.
 
In the Northern Lights, the spirit realm of Inuit myth, there's a region called the Land of Ice or the Ice Realm, whose Ice People were ruled by the immortal King Vultok, a devotee of the great spirit of the North known as the Ice. During WW II Vultok allied with the Axis and became the greatest threat to Canada, operating out of a palace under an impenetrable dome of ice in northern Manitoba. In 1948 Vultok's minions stole a prototype atom bomb, intending to deliver it at the first United Nations meeting in San Francisco. Several Canadian heroes tracked the bomb back to Vultok's palace and confronted him, during which the bomb was accidentally triggered. The blast killed Vultok and destroyed his palace and dome, and apparently the blast carried to the Land of Ice and wiped out all the Ice People. UNTIL still maintains a watch over the radioactive remains of Vultok's Earthly base. (GAC also mentions that Vultok returned from the dead in 2008 and allied with the demon Tillingkoot, but nothing about his later activities).
 
The other new region appears so far only in GAC. The land of Bohica is inhabited by the Gremlins, a diminutive but hardy race who, unlike most inhabitants of Faerie, are fascinated by mechanical devices, and adept with them beyond most human engineers. Since the Industrial Revolution the Gremlins have covertly visited Earth to study human mechanisms, and sometimes reward inventors of particularly clever devices, or sabotage shoddy workmanship. But pre-1940, Nazi occultists discovered and invaded Bohica and enslaved the Gremlins, forcing them to build weapons and equipment for the Third Reich. Many of Germany's cutting-edge devices only functioned with assistance from the Gremlins. The crown prince of the Gremlins, Fubar  () , was freed by Allied superheroes and joined the war effort until 1944 when they liberated Bohica. At last word Fubar succeeded to the throne of Bohica and still rules it, occasionally interacting with Earthly heroes.
