Confession: while vigilante John is my son and my canon version, I still crave more villain John content. I see so much potential in that version. And it hurts so good.
Give me John commiting pettier and smaller crimes just to get Bruce’s attention. Give me John and Bruce slowly forgiving each other. Give me villain John feeling guilty for what he has done. Give me Bruce promising John that he will be there for him and letting John turn himself in on his own terms when he’s ready to go back to Arkham and get better.
I headcanon that Bruce never gives up on trying to make things right with John and confesses that he’s in love with him (well more like it slips up during one of their fights). But John is still angry and hurt and doesn’t believe him (how can Bruce love him if he betrayed him? How can he love him after all that John has done? To Bruce, to Gotham …) but after he sees that Bruce keeps on trying and trying to apologise to him, and keeps stepping into John’s obvious traps (Bruce knows they are traps but he feels like he has to prove himself to John that he’s serious) John starts to feel guilty. He starts to realise that Bruce truly is sorry for what he has done and it’s hard to hold onto this grudge when Bruce is there - more open than he ever was with him before - trying to earn his forgiveness and trying to help him.
It’s hard to hold a grudge when the person you love (no matter how much you’re angry at them) loves you back so deeply.
John also feels guilty that Bruce doesn’t seem to give up on him no matter how many horrible crimes he commits. And at some point he only continues to commit crimes because it’s easier to continue being in the shoes of a villain, he feels like he has no other choice now that he’s in so deep. He did so many horrible things already,…so he feels like he can never go back and that this is the only thing that’s left for them. He’s almost afraid to mend the broken bond with Bruce because that also means facing the reality of what he has done. How many lives he has taken and destroyed and it’s eating at him.
So like after some time John’s crimes no longer have any real heart in them, he mostly just does them so he can face Bruce again because he misses him. One day he finally breaks down crying during the fight; just straight up drops his knife and weeps and Bruce holds him in his full on Batman getup while John sobs into his chest. “Why won’t you give up on me?! Why are you still here?!” kind of lines slip during the sobbing. After the sobbing calms down John kisses him, and they stay there for a while just kissing. Kissing all the hurt away.
After that they finally talk it out. John realises he needs to go to Arkham but he’s not ready to go yet. He’s not ready to face the reality. So Bruce lets him stay in the manor for a few days, helping him however he can to come to terms with what he has done. And when John is ready he lets Bruce drive him to Arkham. They kiss one more time and Bruce whispers a promise to help him get through this & visit him. And then they hold eye contact until the guards take John away.
Wanted to practice my 2D a bit… or something like that. Any excuse to have fun with this guy.
Did it a couple of weeks ago when I actually had some sparetime. Which I wouldn’t mind a bit more of..
Joker in The Dark Knight Charming
One of these days watched this program. Good show.
Thanks to @oi-chibi-oi

this face part 3 [part 1] [part 2] [part 4]
And this scene too.
John’s coat glitched so it looks awful :(
Finally remembered to do this scene XD
Happy ending!
The moment of awareness. I'm pretty sure that's what Bruce was thinking about in this scene.
John's response and these memories what made up his mind.
Honestly? John always brought out best part of Bruce. And even if his mind is messed up he still DOES have a good heart. That's what my Bruce loves him for SO much.
♤♣ Anthony Misiano as The Joker ♡♦

Some random stuff for those who asked for more.
Bonus: the best screenshot of John ever XD

Didn’t really know where to go with this gifset, kinda cancelled what I had in mind. Might as well have these BatJokes gifs rather than trashing them.
John/Bruce. Vigilante Route. AU where Bruce tells John he loves him.
Bruce leans heavily against the doorframe as he stares at John’s back. He’s facing away from Bruce, standing in front of his collection of photos. Bruce sees the selfie from the funeral, both him and John smiling at the camera, and wishes they could go back to that, back to that easy connection that formed so quickly between them. But as he watches John’s shoulders shake with borderline hysterical laughter, he knows it won’t ever be the same despite how much he wants it to be.
“I was such an idiot. I was so busy looking at you. Admiring you. Wanting to be like you.”
John’s voice is rough with…anger? Hurt? Bruce isn’t sure. John’s shoulders slump and his head drops as he looks away from the photos to the ground. Bruce wants to tear his cowl off and stride over to John and hold him, wants to be held by him. He hates that they’ve come to this and he hates that he doesn’t know if they can come back from it.
“Be loved by you.”
But I do, John. I do love you. I love you so much, it scares me.

A goodbye hug? Bruce is so happy XD
I have some more stupid stuff with them, but not sure if I should post it
Don’t bother going to security, they’re all… headless.
You do believe me, don’t you? You still have faith in me, don’t you? Your old buddy, John?

I did a thing.
