Comic book character spotting! The Joker

You may remember my previous post confirming the existence of Batman via that of Ra's Al Ghul. Imagine my surprise when I inadvertently found further proof in Philadelphia's Rodin Museum.

Those sunken, angular cheekbones. That crazy-as-balls hairline.

Rodin sculpted The Joker.

You doubt me? Check the larger version.

JokerBig1

It's complete with Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez-esque little bolo/cape-tie tassles and everything!

That's right, Rodin sculpted The Joker.

These busts were erroneously labeled as being a 19th century French-Canadian priest and canonized saint, but seeing as The Joker once held diplomatic immunity as representative of a middle-eastern country, (in the 80's) I don't find this all that hard to reconcile. He's The Joker.

And don't you forget it.

Comic book character spotting! Ra's al Ghul

PROOF!

I inadvertently found indisputable proof that Batman exists - in the form of this statue of Ra’s Al Ghul in Tribeca.



The statue has been erroneously engraved as being a figure from Uruguayan history who supposedly died over 150 years ago. But technically Ra's could've been a figure in Uruguay's history. See, Ra’s has never let a little thing like mortality get in his way.

This is Ra's al Ghul. The Demon's Head.




And he's REAL.



And if Ra’s al Ghul is real, and I am both living and not enslaved, then I have to believe Batman is real. Because no other force on Earth could keep us safe from a man who's lived for centuries and wakes up every day continuing to choose this crazy of a hair/facial hair combo.

Please note this closeup of my amazed face.
