'I am officially done with DC': Fans shocked to see a pregnant Joker giving birth in new Batman plot
BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: DC fans were shell-shocked to see an odd new plot in the new Batman comics which showed the Joker getting pregnant and then giving birth to a child. In the latest series, ‘The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing’, the popular antagonist was placed under a curse by Sorceress Supreme Zatanna which made him gestate. Later, after visiting a doctor, Joker vomits a brown slimy substance from his mouth that turns into a baby boy and ultimately becomes a miniature version of himself.
Even though the word "trans" was not used in the comic, several DC fans were very perplexed by the unbelievable plot and unhappy. As a result, many of them came out and reacted on social media. One person wrote on Twitter, “Zatanna cast a spell on him, and he vomits out a clone. It is a pretty weird storyline lol.” “Are you kidding me? And now I am officially done with DC! Absolutely not. No flipping way. His only concern is taking down Batman. Over all of the LGTBQ-ness. Let kids be kids. Do better,” another added.

Another person added, “This is so ridiculous and appalling that I don’t even know what to say!!! I do know this I’m done with the DC movies, first scrubbing Henry Cavill as Superman and now this.” Another user wondered, “But who will be playing this joker?” “Honestly with how dc science is. Anything is possible,” another added. “That’s pretty ridiculous even for a comic book,” yet another user remarked.

YouTube talk show host Steven Steele tweeted, “DC Comics is getting weirder and weirder, allowing more perverts and fetishists to make grotesque filth out of their classic characters. Fellows, BATMAN is your last sellable comics franchise. Normal readers might not enjoy Atomic Skull giving Joker a prenatal pelvic exam.”

Several conservatives also reacted, stating that that DC Comics was trying to push the "LGBTQ+ agenda" to the public. Former GOP Congressional candidate Robby Starbuck wrote on Twitter, “In the new Joker comic he gets pregnant and gives birth. Yep, the Joker is trans now. At least the character is the joker because a pregnant woman thinking they’re a pregnant man is the definition of a joker. Who else is sick of this lunacy?”

Thid was not the first time DC has considered the possibility of the Joker having children. Harley Quinn revealed she gave birth to the Joker's daughter in 'Injustice: Gods Among Us,' but chose to give her up for adoption rather than subject her to a life with the villain as her father. In the world of 'Batman: White Knight,' Quinn also gives birth to twins, but with pleasant endings.
