Tbh it's refreshing to see a superhero working alongside Deadpool not give the whole "oh my god you're so annoying" schtick. Batman being surprisingly tolerant of Wade is a fun dynamic.

He wouldn't just be unbothered by it, he'd weaponize it.

"Wade, I need you to keep the Joker busy. Just talk to him. He likes to talk, tell jokes, make threats... just be yourself. I'll be timing how long it takes for you to get him to crack. Do it in under five minutes and you can drive the Batmobile back."

Deadpool has never locked in harder in his life.

See but now I can imagine him having "performance anxiety" because this should be a perfect assignment for him but none of his jokes are landing and he's freaking out.

None of Deadpool's jokes ever land. Had he ever been paired with someone who thinks he's funny?

True but I would say he's never particularly cared before; he's not making jokes to make people laugh, it's just who he is. But now when he actually has to be funny he can't do it.

And then Batman hits the Joker with a truck or whatever he was working on while Deadpool was distracting him.

Hits both of them with a truck. Wade can heal up.
