how good is Joker as a fighter?

I just wanna know.

About as good as Kid Buu.

He's just unpredictable that's what makes him dangerous when fighting Batman.

He could probably take down Pre-Crisis Karate Kid.

Depends on which version.

"The Batman" animated series Joker was actually a badass at fighting.

From what I've seen, he's the next step above Fodder.

This is true.

@micah: @dbvse7: man, that show was kinda awesome until they introduced the sidekicks

It really depends on the writer

Imagine if those 2 thugs weren't there.

I enjoyed Robin's inclusion and I was even tolerant towards Batgirl, but the last 2-3 seasons of the show turned into Batman & his Justice League Friends LOL, and the show lost some of it's edge.

Joker is just really fast and very unpredictable, as well as being crazy, meaning he will do anything no matter what, even if it hurts himself. Batman mentioned that his speed is still hard to be ready for when he fights him. Definitely above fodder. He knows what he's doing but someone that has a good amount of skill and experience can take him

he fights by instinct or unpredictability

Not very good, he'd lose any mma fighter, any boxer,hell any wwe superstar.

He can take a lot of punishment and is pretty brutal, that's what makes him a challenge.

As good as he needs to be for the particular story.

He's on Superman's level. Haven't you played Injustice?

His fighting-skills are nothing special, though DC has him giving trouble to Batman in Hand-to-Hand, and other people that he really shouldn't be able to, to show him off, from time to time (PIS/WIS).

Lol, i've seen Cass owning Wonder-Woman, Ares and Doomsday in injustice! ;)

- Kicked Harvey Dent's ass in The Long Halloween (Harvey's known for being a pretty tough nut).

- Routinely poses a threat to Batman due to his aggressiveness, unpredictability, and knowledge of the opponent.

- Running into the Joker is often fatal for police officers, security guards and the like, because Joker is a quick shot and has sudden-death gadgets like laughing gas.

- Almost always has a psychological factor in his favor.

- He's totally insane.

I'd say he's pretty good.

@dbvse7: "Depends on which version.

"The Batman" animated series Joker was actually a badass at fighting."

True enough. He bested Batman in combat one or two times!

As for comics Joker, he's decent. He fought Azrael-Batman once, didn't he? He'll sometimes rely on weapons and the element of suprise. He's not exactly a ninja, but he does all right.

It depends on which version, in some he gets one shoted and in others he holds his own.
