Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) announced that he would not drop out of the New York City mayoral race this week. On Tuesday, however, he dropped a new video on Threads with no commentary, showing him jumping a man's car. Cuomo is shown with a young man of color whose car appears to have broken down...

    Honestly, henching for Batman’s villains can be pretty good if you choose the right Boss.

    • Penguin pays well as long as you do good work and stay on your best behavior around him.
    • Working under Joker directly is dangerous, but working alongside his crew to pull off a big job can work out. Joker can be pretty reliable if his teammates show him respect. Joker would love to do a job against Trump or Musk.
    • Working for Ivy can be okay if you’re female. If you try to sign up with Ivy as a dude, she’ll probably brainwash or kill you on the spot.
    • Working for Riddler can be okay if you can look stupid. That guy loves to be the smartest person in the room. He might let your paychecks bounce, though.
    • Working for Two Face all depends on how lucky you are. If you’re lucky, Two Face will be happy to give you a good share of the loot.
    • Black Mask is a bigger believer in swift punishment than Penguin. If you fail him big time, Black Mask will kill you and the other guys on the job with you in a horrible way. Penguin will spare you, but he’ll make you wish he killed you. Aside from that, you can make good money working for him.
    • Scarecrow has a hidden benefit for his employees - he wants to spread his fear toxin as much as possible, so he may reward you for furthering his research if you test his fear toxin on people, and record the results.

      • Ra’s al Ghul would probably be good for mercenary work especially if he takes a liking to you. If you are lucky he may even give you access to a lazuras pit.

      • Bane is smart enough and generally honorable enough that if you proved useful he would be unlikely to kill you, he may even be willing to work with suggestions and critique.

      • Honorable mentions for a non Batman villain. Snowflame you get more or less free access to all the cocaine and your boss will remember your name.

      • Dishonorable mention, the Penny Plunderer. He would pay you only in pennies.

      Working under Joker directly is dangerous, but working alongside his crew to pull off a big job can work out. Joker can be pretty reliable if his teammates show him respect. Joker would love to do a job against Trump or Musk.

      Are there forms of joker that don’t kill their henchmen on whims and for laughs?

      Something I would note here, mostly this is only covering the “would the boss kill you directly”. which is also kind of missing the second danger, IE even if there’s a boss that would never personally kill you, certainly you also have to factor in the fact that any boss will throw you on the front lines of a war, throw you under the bus so the police are busy arresting you while they get away etc…

        Yes, the version of Joker from the Harley Quinn show. That guy threw Batman in jail for tax evasion, and otherwise seems to be a decent guy to work for (post Season 1).

        Joker from Telltale is also a decent guy if you’re decent back.
