I wonder if there will someday be an ironic market for this era of comics like there is for Jack Chick comics. "Oh man you got the pregnant Joker issue? Haha let's go read it and make fun of it!"

I don't see why not.

Honestly getting pregnant would be something I could see the Joker doing, bonus points for finding a way to make Batman think he's the father.

He hasn't got a uterus mate xD

It's a comic book. Why would that stop the Joker of all people? He can grow a new body and have his mind transferred in. He could steal Batman's sperm and have it implanted with a lab-grown uterus from one of the many alien races they've run into. He could use magic--we've seen it a few times--to change his sex. Maybe he convinces Wonder Woman he wants to go good and embracing a woman's perspective is the way to do it.

Batman's a bit more realistic than, say, Superman, but it's still a comic book.

EDIT: So I looked this up and apparently it was a kind of anti-incel jibe: Zatanna curses the Joker so no woman will ever want to bear his baby (I would say that's redundant but he seems to have seduced Harley Quinn and Punchline at various times in the past), but it backfires and makes the Joker pregnant. He then pukes out the child in front of Dr. Phosphorus.

I know it's DC trying to be woke, but I can't get this worked up when Batman has a giant penny and dinosaur in his Batcave.

I agree with John's statements. Personally it's way too late to get me back on board with them. Moved on to indie creators and never looked back, but on occasion I'll purchase a marvel epic collection on certain characters/ Creator's comic run. I will definitely be backing his new book since I enjoyed the duo's work with Kickass.
