I mean this in the nicest way possible - but those aren't that impressive, nor are they of DCnU Joker.
The Luthor fight, Luthor, who I rate below Cyclops, was actually smacking him around an winning, until he cheated with the flower. This despite all the 'crazy Joker antics', like biting and laughing at pain etc. He used all that, and was still losing, until the acid flower.
The Batgirl fight is not quite the same - she relies on body language reading, and remove that, and she's screwed. Cyclops doesn't rely on it. Moreover, Joker was using his buzzer (numbing her arm) and using chairs etc on her. Hardly a h2h fight.
I'd like to say the Aquaman/Joker fights is PIS, but its Aquaman, so....prob not 😈
Here's my take:
Neither of the characters is a pure h2h fighter. Joker uses gadgets and Cyclops is a ranged fighter due to his optic blasts (the Provided Joker scan with joy buzzer. The provided Cyclops scan with optic blast shattering sword).
While Cyclops is the more classically trained of the two, Joker is more apt to get into physical altercations on a regular basis.
Pretty even fight, really. One i think Joker wins, though great points have been made both ways...

IIRC, that was the Joker's last wish; to taint Batman (or at least his former sidekick) with his death. And before he let Dick beat him to death, he was putting a a pretty good fight.
We'll need scans.
@kris blaze: well, was only going off earlier posters who were happy to use Snyder's POTENTIAL HF Joker.

Got scans?
Yah, I thought it was that showing 👆
Its...erm...again, not that impressive. Now, I may sound like I'm picking holes in everything, but is there a nice, good showing of Joker, using ONLY h2h, winning a fight? Going up against Nightwing and deliberately trying to die isn't exactly a good showing, lol. It just shows Joker CAN be beaten to death...
Because so far, all I've see of a fight that goes the way Joker's supporters are claiming - where he kicks and bites and uses his damage soak and laughs off punches - is the Luthor fight, where Luthor is winning the beat down (until Joker cheats). In this fight, he has no acid flower...
Exactly. So far, I haven't seen him taking ANYONE down, and the most relevant fight I've seen (against Luthor, who isn't Bat family level), where Joker is biting and laughing at the pain, Joker was still losing.
Until he cheated with an acid flower. Which he won't have here.
So all Cyclops needs to be, h2h wise, is Lex level. Which I believe he is, based on the scans I've seen.
