The Lighter Side of the DC Universe: Filled With Jokes
The DC Universe is famous for its epic battles, complex characters, and intense stories. But there’s also a fun side that’s packed with humor! Amidst the dark streets of Gotham and the cosmic adventures of the Green Lanterns, jokes and laughter play a big role. In this blog, we're going into it. And why so? Because today is the First of April. It is a day filled with jokes and we wanted to show you this! Let's first discuss and then get into some actual funny jokes...Why is humor relevant? Even in a world such as the DC Universe?
We just want to mention to you why humour matters so much within the DC Universe. What it actually adds to a story, in general.Humour makes the characters more likable, makes us relate to them more easier, much more on a personal level. Even superheroes and villains have their humorous moments, which should be shown. For instance, Batman's sarcasm will often conflict with his dark nature, and it makes us understand that even the dark heroes in the DC Universe can afford a moment of humor.
Humor is also used as a coping mechanism, not only IRL, but in the DC Universe, too. The character is in a tough spot or has gone through some pretty difficult trauma, and uses a joke to lighten the mood. Next to that, humor is able to provide social commentary. Most of the jokes in the DC Universe draw upon real-life situations, so it is not hard for the fans to be able to connect to serious problems that way.
