Why hasn't the government executed him yet? I get why batman won't kill him...

Also in Hitman, some aliens order a hit on Joker in Arkham just to make Batman show up
Also in RHATO Jason Todd points out Batman gets angrier at him than he does at Joker, so Batman responds by yelling “SHUT UP!!!” and punching Jason in the face

He's just a goofy lil guy, maybe Batman should chill.

Also Batman once told a whole busy inner-city hospital to stop what they’re doing and save Joker’s life first. This was because Joker had hidden a bomb somewhere but Batman actually knew the location so he just did it because.
Joker also once after shooting up an entire wedding threatened Batman into doing what he says or else Joker will shoot himself. Batman had previously let many people before commit suicide such as Joe Chill and Jason Todd but he doesn’t let Joker kill himself.
Now that I think about it this happens a lot

This. It was just a prank bro

Arthur wasn’t actually the Joker. The guy who stabbed him was.

Add in when he saves Joker from Onomatopeia in Batman: Cacophony

Always had a story idea where the Joker was being kept alive with loose Arkham security by the criminal elites of Gotham to keep Batman out of the hair. That scene in Year One where he gives them the "you have eaten well" speech scared the piss out of them, so to make sure that shit doesn't happen again they pull every string to make sure Gotham's full of dangerous nuts.

Because Batman would fight the government to protect him, and he would win

He literally did the exact opposite and was so conflicted about proving he didn't do the murder he was about to be executed for, that he didn't even turn in the real murderer and instead just let him walk to the police station.

What I want to know is, has it been acknowledged in the comics that Batman puts more effort into saving the Joker than most other people?

No, because then they'd have to think of an example and that's hard to do with stuff that never happened. The most he ever did was a lazarus pit dip and that's because Gotham was literally about to be nuked. Like actually nuked. Not 'Just a big bomb', fucking wiped off the map if Joker didn't tell him where it was so he could stop Ra's.

These problems have been addressed.

Like in Houses of Gotham a street cult of sewer dwellers kidnap Joker off the street to lure Bats, because they say if it were a normal person who dissappeared Batman wouldn’t care

Well that's stupid considering the three different stories where he dropped everything and went on a grand adventure to find a homeless person. One of them was even a guy.

Lol I consider this canon now

NO KILL GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS

NO KILL GOLDEN GOOSE

NO KILL GOOSE

NO KILL

NO

NO

NO

Laws in comic seem to work differently from the real world.

The only fitting end to the Jonkler is him causing a riot and then getting trampled by it and no one realizes it until the event is over.

Gothamites are probably terrified that even if they took matters into their own hands and shot him to death, that somehow he’d eventually come back and come for revenge.

I've said it before but if I could decide the outline for a Batman story, I would have Batman quietly accepting Joker being executed as its framework. Bats telling to himself, through narration, or through some life advice by Alfred that this is the right outcome, some lives are just not worth preserving and that he's done all he could. It's on-character to not have Batman want to play executioner, but many stories twist this to such a stupid degree that's diminished the core of the character.

They should just accept that they exist to be killed by villains like the Joker.

I would just have Batman admit that he doesn't kill the Joker because he doesn't want to get rid of his favorite toy.

Story with Gotham flight as all the residents have been moving away to non-joker cities causing a collapse in the city popular and Jinkler to have no more people to have fun with :^(

Gotham is a hellhole the rest of the world is fine with ignoring.

The Gotham government is scared shitless of him while the federal government like his jokes.

because that's not the story they want to tell :O

Not sure but in the DCAU, the government didn't execute Joker because the courts thought he's just misguided and thought it's possible to reform him. Now my headcanon is the events of Wild Cards proved to the courts and the Government that the Joker is not insane but a evil parasitic monster and that if he ever steps foot out of Gotham, he will be executed.

he doesn't know that Joker is a fed

the government created Joker to keep the ultra rich, ultra genius, old-money, anti-elite moralfag distracted from politics
like a rodeo clown.

I never understood how nobody just shoots Joker. It can't be that hard.

People have. In the head. He kept on rolling.

If you try it in front of Batman he stops you.
Batman Noel: Joker breaks into a poor nobody single father's house, brutalises him in front of his little kid son, jams a gun in his house while he bleeding on the floor screaming how he's gonna rape his son after he splatters the guys brains out
Batman swoops in, disarms Joker, the guy picks up Joker's gun in self-defence, Batman yells
"NOOOOOOO DON'T FUCKIN DO IT OR I'LL ARREST YOU AND TELL YOUR KID TO HATE YOU"
and the guy is just blackmailed into letting Joker go because Batman said his son would hate him for defending his home

and if you think he was just bluffing he wasn't, he's arrested people trying to defend themselves from Joker
Houses of Gotham showed there are dozens of homeless orphaned kids in Gotham whose parents Joker randomly killed, who all wanted revenge on Joker. Batman stopped them and they ran off never to be seen again

My new headcanon is that the federal government in the DC universe has a "Don't interfere with Superhero Cities" rule.
If something happens in Metropolis or Gotham, either the PD or a Superhero has to deal with it, because the federal government doesn't want to get involved with Superheroes or Supervillains. As long as Joker operates in Gotham, it'll just be the PD trying to kill him.
This also explains why supervillains prefer operating in cities with superheroes, because then they don't have to deal with the feds.

he can easily be killed but it would anger the mafia

What compels writers to do this?

it's funny

“You have a choice, Superman! Either kill me to get the antidote, or I shall kill Lois Lane! And then I will kill Jimmy in the exact same manner! And then you! And then your parents! Because I secretly know who you are and all your loved ones! Decide - me? Or all the people you have ever loved?”

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO CLARK YOOU CANT JUST KILL THE JOKER! LOIS LANE WOULDNT WANT TO LIVE IF IT WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MOST EVIL HUMAN BEING TO EVER EXIST! LET HIM KILL HER! JUST LET HIM KILL HER, AND JIMMY TOO, ALSO YOUR PARENTS! NONE OF THEM WOULD WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT THE JOKER, JUST LIKE I DONT WANT TO LIVE IN A JOKERLESS WORLD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

The real answer is. Because he sells too much merchandise. As long as people keep buying Joker merchandise, and going to see Joker in Batman movies, and dressing up as Joker for Halloween. DC isn't ever going to kill him off.

Gotham government considers him population control.

The no kill rule isn't the problem. Batman going out of his way to save Jokers life from the consequences of his own actions is the problem.
There are multiple times across Batman media where Batman could have let the Joker die, without getting his hands dirty or breaking his one rule. But actively went out of his way to save his life.

It's an easy way to get beat up by the Batman if you're a masochist.

Exactly. Bullock, Cash, Montoya, or even Gordon could kill the Joker and literally no court on the planet would convict them. And even if Bruce because of his sense of justice did have the book thrown at them, they'd be treated like royalty in prison.

Why doesn't Batman just throw The Black Mercy on Joker? It'll keep him placid, and isn't killing him.

Batman invented a robotic Black Mercy once and imprisoned Joker in it. Joker escaped and poisoned everyone in the city again.

No matter what Batman does, DC just always has to bring back the joker to be worse than he was before.

it's true

imprison him in a dungeon in the batcave

did that. twice.

build your own billion dollar prison

did that. escaped. decommissioned since.

rape him

well that one actually worked

well that one actually worked

He would have become joker again if he hadn't been unceremoniously killed off in that movie.

Why hasn't the government executed him yet?

Get him trumped up on government charges and see what happens.

Batman has faith in the system.

system supports self defense and letting cops gun down anyone they deem a threat.
