Favourite meme go!

I legit feel Punchline would work way better as a Batman beyond villain.

A potential historian podcaster of the future who has EXTREME in-depth knowledge of the villains of Gotham and is extremely popular with teens, to where even Terry gets research off her work, who in reality is a massive Joker fan girl who DESPISES the Jokerz and she hunts and kills them and even villains posing as those of old, wanting them to get the legacy, but not repeat them. Be the punchline, not the set up. Also she would be her own brand of a villain in the vein of the Joker, but not a Jokerz herself.

I love how Sasha's Punchline videos see so much potential in the character, but the comics keep stalling or backtracking before they can follow through on any of that. It's like an epic length "When are they going to get to the fireworks factory!?"

RIP Arleen Sorkin.😢

On a super serious note, I would genuinely love to read a Sasha Wood Punchline story. A lot of those ideas are so relatable and terrifying especially lately.

Punchline is an amazing concept, but the writers are so blind with what to do with her. They need to find a rich way to communicate her character. It's so clear that they're unsure of her basic motivations and arch, they just put her in random situations and make her come out on top all the time. I'm so interested in her character I wish they'd put more care in her story.

You’re right, it would have been a much more traumatic nightmare for Punchline if it was no one recognizing her or even acknowledging anything she does.  The worst thing to happen to an attention hog is to not have attention.

Your Punchline videos have me convinced that the only reason DC hasn't attempted you to hire you freelance for editing her books is it would expose the total lack of competence of their editorial staff.

Definitely feel like Punchline's image and brand were so deliberate that they should feel a bit more important to her than mean comments. She's never seemed to care what people think as long as they are thinking about her, so disconnecting someone like that from all the clout she'd been chasing for herself and taking her out of the spotlight would be more of a nightmare, in my opinion. Have everyone in the nightmare write her off as a Joker fangirl, have her sub numbers drop to like 20, and make her "iconic" look commonplace - even put in a nightmare Harley wearing a red version of the Punchline fit, to really play up that "new/knock-off Harley Quinn" angle that they used to try and sell the character, in the first place.

The original plan was for Babs to be Oracle instead of Batgirl in these issues. But the creators did their research (apparently not where it truly counted) and realized that Punchline has never encountered Babs in her Oracle persona. So they kept her as Batgirl.

The idea of a murderous drug lord's worst nightmare being a comment saying "Show feet" is hilarious.

By the sound of it, I think a better nightmare for Punchline would have been a series of video exposes showing footage of Alexis Kaye's life that Punchline wouldn't want getting out because it not only wrecks her image but takes away her control of the narrative. It could show that she was already a terminally online bully before she ever met the Joker, or maybe that she is so obsessed with her image because she had a proton-influencer parent, or something personal that doesn't fit her narrative of doing it because of the Joker's "message"

And I agree with your ideas for better comments from the Hate Comment section.

I really enjoyed this one. The speculative rewrite was super strong here. You probably understand the environment the character comes from better than anyone writing her today.

They should hire you either as a writer or consultant for this character. I think you hit the nail on the head with identifying that she needed more time to develop her motives.

Punchline's nightmare should've been a world where everyone referred to her in the past tense and never used her name or her image.

It was so sad to hear that Arleen Sorkin passed away. I am still in disbelief. I can hardly begin to comprehend that we lost Kevin not too long ago and now we've lost another legend. Many people played Harley Quinn since Arleen but Arleen IS Harley Quinn and always will be. I basically grew up always hearing Arleen's voice and similar with Kevin now that she's gone it's like a part of me has died too. May she rest in peace.

DC needs to hire you. Also I think Batman should defeat her with nothing but a room with mean comments about her.

Episode 57 of Sasha caring more about the books she’s reading than the actual writers.

Damn, I’d read something written by Sasha. I know ideas are cheap, and the execution is where the real difficulty lies, but she rattled off like 20 decent pitches for storylines and explorations of characters in a 30min video.

Punchline had the most ridiculous half-life of a character I’ve ever seen. Like a purple and green firework just “whoosh, bang, gone”.

Punchline: Destroys Barbara's column by impaling her
Joker: "THAT'S MY PUDDIN!!!" 😍
Harley: "You never called me that, Mr J..." 😢

IMO Punchline would work better if she were formed as a Joker protege that missed the point of his joke. Her growth from finding out she was wrong and more clearly establishing her own agenda would make for a great story arc. Great commentary as always Sasha.
