Do you think the Joker from Batman would be an unrealistic killer?

Now that we have killers like Vecna from DND, Kaneki or Springtrap, it's no longer such a stretch of the imagination to say that they don't have to be horror, just horror adjacent to be in the game. I think the joker fits that mold, and we could even have Bruce wayne (NOT batman) as a survivor. Just imagine, the joker could be the clown but with better gas powers... And bombs. And bruce wayne could have skill expressive but hard to use abilities, like a batarang that can stun the killer but you actually have to aim it and have to get it like a flashbang. I think it would be cool, if maybe a bit strong

    It really depends on how they implement it, but I think yes. The character meets the criteria of what I think allows a killer to become a DBD killer: old or iconic figure, known for taking part in violence, has a weapon or claws, and also just simply known for being popular. The only thing that might hold it back, is the power, the joker doesn't have a power, but my idea would be a clown like ability. with the clown you can throw bottles that give effects, joker would throw laughing gas, that whenever it affects survivors they laugh hysterically and can't use their item, and also their screen becomes distorted. but, yeah, it if very possible. Also Alfred should also be a survivor.

    I honestly think Scarecrow would be a better fit than the Joker.

    Joker could be interesting, but it might be moving to far from horror, and whilst you mention Vecna, Kaneki and Springtrap they are all technically from horror or horror adjacent franchises (minus Vecna but whether you have horror DND is up to the discretion of a dm so technically it could be considered as such).

    Joker and some of dc's villains fit in dbd as killers as they are prettymuch murderers when not getting pummeled by batman. But bruce wayne i don't see fitting as a survivor because he is still just batman with everything but his equipment which is still capable of beating joker and other killers in most situations.

    Absolute Joker could work in DBD, even though we have not seen that much of him yet. What we have seen has been disturbing to say the least. The panel where he's wearing the "coat" is horrifying.

    I'd choose Scarecrow over Joker. But absolutely there are some great killer options in superhero titles. Carnage, Homelander and others would be fine additions.
