@thejokerha:

Code of honor? What code of honor? The Joker doesn't have a code of honor. He is completely insane and sadistic. If he wanted to rape someone, he would, but that just isn't what he does. Would a villain with a sense of honor tell somebody that if they didn't do what he said, he would cut out his little girl's throat and make him eat it (Death of the Family)? Would he beat someone's son to the brink of death in front of their eyes and then, despite the fact that they had betrayed their family and served them loyally, leave them tied up with said some in a warehouse rigged to blow (Death in the Family)? The Joker doesn't have a sense of honor. He just doesn't rape people because he doesn't want to or need to.

Why does the Joker never rape anyone? Because that isn't what he does. He doesn't feel any sexual attraction to anyone. He is a sadistic psychopath who loves killing people, causing mayhem, and of course the little "games" he plays with Batman. He has no motivation or urge to rape anyone. Furthermore, why do you think his crimes are unrealistic? That is actually what I like about the Joker. He doesn't use superpowers, instead using conventional weapons combined with sadistic versions of classic pranks to kill people. The Joker gas may be imaginary, but their is certainly the possibility of using a combination of real life chemical agents, like nerve toxins, to get similar results. The most realistic thing about him, however, is his personality. Many people think that the Joker is evil to the point of being inhuman. Such people don't understand human nature. In reality, their are plenty of people like the Joker out there. Sure, they don't dress up like a clown or have white skin, but they do what they do because they enjoy it. I've heard of plenty of people like that. I recall hearing about a similar person being executed not to long ago near where I live. The fact of the matter is, it is because we are human that we are capable of such horrible and unspeakable things. Within each of us, their is the capacity for great good and terrible evil, and their are any number of factors that could push someone to become like the Joker. As for the fact that no one knows who he really is, that is also realistic. There are plenty of examples of people from throughout history whom we know nothing about until they turned to crime, including what their birth name is. Blackbeard is a prime example. Although many people believe his real name was Edward Teach, no one knows for certain, as we know virtually nothing about his early life and childhood. Jack the Ripper is another. He was never identified and never caught. Now, granted, today we have a lot of advanced technology that makes this extremely difficult to do, but it isn't impossible. So, personality wise, Joker is one of the more realistic villains of the DC universe. As for the fact that he doesn't rape or molest anyone, you don't have to do those things to be the ultimate incarnation of evil. The Joker's sadistic form of evil is far beyond that of a simple rapist and child molester. That would kind of be below him to stoop to doing that. His crimes are far worse than that. Also, your argument that it would hurt the sales of DC comics doesn't really hold up, either. Marvel has alluded to rape on numerous occasions, and they are still doing pretty well. The Joker doesn't rape anyone because it simply isn't in his character. The mainstream Joker has never really shown any signs of sexual attraction to anyone of any sex. Look at his one-sided relationship with Harley. She clearly loves the Joker, and whenever they are together she would practically do anything for him, but the Joker merely sees her as a means to an end. A simple pawn and nothing more. When her usefulness is at an end, he would kill her without hesitation, and enjoy it too. Finally, as for The Killing Joke, the Joker never raped Barbara. He merely undressed her and took photos of her in order to use the pictures to psychologically torture Gordon. Like he said in the comic, he simply wanted to prove a point. So, like I said, the Joker doesn't rape people or molest kids because it simply isn't in his character to do so. His evil goes far beyond that of a rapist or a pedophile.

None of his past should be explained. The whole vat of chemicals thing hasn't even been confirmed to be true, though it is in most of the "origin" stories that have been told. They should leave his past a mystery. It makes him all the more creepy.

There is no confirmed origin of the Joker. Personally, I think its better that way. One of the scary things about criminals is you don't know who they are or why they do what they do. Having a comic book villain with that same characteristic just seems right.

I certainly hope they bring Peter back. I never liked Doctor Octopus as a villian, let alone as the new Spider-Man. If they don't bring him back, then that final scene from the first issue is, in my opinion, a middle finger to the fans. Now, I'm certainly not going to write Dan Slott a death threat, but I can certainly understand the outrage of some fans. Such anger is inevitable when you kill off such a popular character. It only makes things worse when you replace him one of his main villians. Well, I for one want no part of it. I might pick up one or two issues out of curiosity, but I staying away from the Spider-Man comics for now. Until this whole Superior Spider-Man thing runs its course, I'm sticking to the Venom comics.

He is not a 'bad guy' as of AvsX, as it is revealed that he only wanted to free the mutants from captivity. So, he is still a 'good-guy'. And no, he did not regain his memories.
