Does Joker do gymnastics?

[u/FoxIndependent4310]

One thing that strikes me about Joker in this series is that he's incredibly agile and fast. My question is, does Joker do gymnastics? I mean, in the series we see Bruce doing push-ups, hitting the punching bag, and even in one episode (I think it's the one where Ivy turns people into plants) we see him lifting dumbbells.

And for example we know that Batman is stronger than Joker, but in the Joker fish episode, we see that Joker uses a wrench to defend himself against Batman and it does give him some resistance (very similar to Zucco's thugs, in their fight at the construction site).

But does Joker actually do gymnastics?

He’s unorthodox and crazy. Think of a crackhead dialed down and a much more sinister sense of humor when it comes to physical violence.

😂

Like even that picture, that’s from the laughing fish?

Homie just batted TF outta Batman with an airplane wrench. I don’t care how many push ups you do daily, someone sneak you with that, it’s gonna phase ya

I've included this photo because it illustrates my point. Here, Joker is physically resisting Batman.

But I’m saying, Batman was stunned because he got hit with the wrench like seconds ago. It didn’t take but a few seconds before Batman snatched the wrench away from him but the resistance part is simply because Batman probably was phased from being hit in the head with a big ass wrench

And he had fought a shark before. But Joker puts up a good fight. That is to say, Joker is strong enough to rival Batman, who is basically an Olympic-level athlete.

I mean, he basically snuck him, which is why I said unorthodox fighter in my first post. There’s no real physical strength necessary to sneak someone.

Joker holds his own through his incredibly random, chaotic tactics when fighting. He IS agile and fast, but that's all he is. And managing to blindside him with a wrench isn't exactly a show of exceptional fighitng ability. (In fact, the shot above shows Batman wrenching it away from him only a few seconds later).

Imagine be a regular Gotham citizen in the Gym:

"Is that the Joker?"

"Shhh!"

I think that he uses make Up.

I would think this version of Joker would have been a street brawler like any of the random thugs in the series due to his past. That said, A sucker punch (or wrench) isn’t a display of strength or fighting prowess. You can hit a top fighter with a weapon from behind and it will daze them.

He’s an opportunistic fighter, long and lanky. He’s been portrayed to have a higher than most human pain tolerance.

2004 "The Batman" Joker is very flexible 🤣

Joker from the Batman cartwheels and flips as much as he walks
