20 comic book characters who would challenge John Wick
By Mark Lynch
10. The Joker
The Joker is called the Clown Prince of Crime for a reason. There isn’t a crime he won’t (or hasn’t already) committed. It isn’t just murder and theft. There are things he’s done that are beyond disgusting. For a reference, read Batman: The Killing Joke. He did things in that story that were absolutely deplorable and unforgivable. Still, he can and will do worse things. Why? For the love of chaos? For a joke? Both? Only he knows the reasoning. Sometimes it’s a wonder if he knows himself.
Joker has spent his time tormenting Gotham and Batman in particular. For someone without a lot of fighting skills, he gives Batman a good run for his money. A lot of it has to do with Batman not wanting to kill him. But how would he fare against someone who won’t hold back?
Joker wins 3 out of 10 fights
The Joker is good, but John Wick wouldn’t be up for playing games. If Wick was lured into a trap or a Joker Funhouse, Joker could collect the bounty. Otherwise, this is a short fight.
Joker likes to play with his prey, but that would cost him his life here. Wick doesn’t play around and it’s doubtful that he likes clowns. Wick would shoot Joker in the head the first chance he gets.
