freedoom I have always loved the level of technology freely available to people in the Batman the Animated Series universe. I would love to know if the Joker stole Captain Clown and then re-purposed him or build him from scratch or what? Bruce Timm should go back and just do an episode on the history of Captain Clown.
cognitivedissonance Considering that Joker lived in an abandoned version of the 1939 World's Fair's House of Tomorrow, complete with animatronic wife, I just assume Captain Clown was a forgotten General Motors prototype.
Also, the Bat-Computer was made out of Bakelite, according to Bruce Timm.
freedoom He wasn't living at the world's fair yet by this point in the series. I think that may have only been in one of the movies. When they introduced Harley the joker was living in an old fun house.
As for the bat computer, i don't think i ever saw that interview with Bruce Timm. Link?
Xenocide The movie is supposed to take place before the series, so Joker might have taken Captain Clown with him when he ditched the World's Fair hideout.
He also took the robot wife. But he broke that one on his own.
freedoom i'm talking about the animated movies, not the tim burton films.
Syd Midnight Robots are important because you can kill them, Batman wouldn't have done that to a human henchman.
