New Joker Comic Sees Clown Prince Getting Pregnant, Sparks Outrage

Latest entertainment gist

The Joker gets pregnant in a new comic series they just rolled out — which is, expectedly, drawing some outrage and backlash among a certain demographic … can you guess who?

The latest story about the Clown Prince of Darkness comes from DC’s ‘The Man Who Stopped Laughing’ series, which explores different plots and subplots for the Joker … and some aren’t even canonical, including this one about him growing a baby bump.

It dropped a few days ago, and people immediately noticed that writer Matthew Rosenberg and cartoonist Carmine Di Giandomenico concocted a tale about Joker wanting an heir, but one that was of his DNA. So, he starts to pursue female super wizardress Zatanna.

Of course, she wants nothing to do with the Joker … so she casts a spell on him that guarantees no one else will ever bare his offspring, but it backfires — making it so Joker gives birth all by himself, via vomiting as readers eventually find out. Along the way, the comic strip depicts him with a huge belly and getting checked on gynecologically.

In the end, the Joker’s “baby” is a mutated version of himself … and they’re both enamored with one another. That’s about all there is to the entry, and yet — it’s caused a lot of feathers to be ruffled in conservative circles, per usual.

Some on Twitter are accusing DC of trying to push LGBT-friendly narratives onto their base … which they say has been going on for a while, through decisions like making Robin and Superman gay in some of their newer comics. Others, of course, saw that as progress.

It is all going downhill for Liverpool and for the fans, the current campaign cannot end sooner than the remaining games on the cards to be played.

In the 2-2 draw versus their London hosts, West Ham United, a key moment emerged to show there may be a lot more going wrong in the Liverpool dressing room than the public knows.

The key moment was captured in the second half when substitute, Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were pictured having a row on the touchline prior to coming on as a late substitute in the game.

The Reds boss according to the footage had reportedly initiated the hostile row when he confronted the Egyptian ahead of Salah coming on to replace Luis Diaz.

For a side whose hopes had ran out towards challenging for any meaningful silverware at the end of Jurgen Klopp’s last season at Liverpool, the footage is a lot worrying.

Latest entertainment gist

Nigerian gospel musician Buchi Atuonwu has opened up about a harrowing encounter with death that forever changed the course of his life, dispelling recent rumors of his demise.

In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, the poetic evangelist recounted a near-fatal incident where he narrowly escaped execution by firing squad, describing it as a pivotal moment of spiritual awakening.

Atuonwu vividly recalled the chilling moment when the executioners, poised to carry out the sentence, knelt before him with guns at the ready. Faced with imminent death, he reached out to a higher power, despite not having a personal relationship with God at the time.

“It is true that the people who were to execute us were already kneeling before us, ready to fire. It is true that I called out to a God I didn’t know. ‘If you save me, I’ll serve you’,” Buchi Atuonwu recounted, reflecting on the desperation of the moment.

In a remarkable turn of events, Atuonwu’s plea for divine intervention was answered, sparing him from the fate that awaited. This profound experience served as a catalyst for a newfound faith and purpose in life.

“It is true that he saved me from that firing squad, and I devoted my life to serving him,” Atuonwu affirmed, acknowledging the transformative power of his encounter with mortality.
