Hey, they once referenced DBZ. And once I think up a point in regard to that, I'll divulge.
It was awesome too. Good ol' Andrew...

Know said so in a thread I made, but saw Vegeta more in common with the Joker than with Batman. Particularly in the movies.

I dont think comparing the Joker to Vegeta is accurate. The Joker is just a psychopath with no personal goals he just does it for the laughs. Vegeta does have a goal. His whole life after meeting Goku was focused on 1uping him. I guess if you look at it in a rivalry sort of way then yes its comparable, but then again so is any rivalry.

Vegeta is like Batman because(like I said before) hes the only one who could possibly take out Goku if necessary, he is Goku(Superman's) dark side and(as much as Vegeta would hate to admit it) Goku(Superman) is the closest thing to a friend Vegeta(Batman) will ever get.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Hence what I meant by especially the movies where he saves Goku as he wants to be the one to finish him off. If you get a chance, read Mad Love or if you have vols. 2 or 4 of Batman the Animated Series, watch The Man Who Killed Batman or the Mad Love episode, which is very true to the comic, except for a few things due to pacing. Joker really takes this position with Batman there.
