Oppose Batman is not a comic strip, it's a comic book. I think most people will know the difference between the two. If not, I am sure a hatnote would be sufficient.ZXCVBNM (

Does it matter? From one (dab) to another (dab), not a big deal. And the problem is do we really want to stick a see Whizzer and Chips hatnote on the Batman Joker article? I think not.

Strong support - obviously confusing, and obviously not clear enough. There are definitely comic strips involving the Joker from Batman, as well; this is not clear at all.

Oppose - I don't think either ASTONISH or CRITERIA apply here. Joker was a comic strip, and the first sentence is "Joker was a British comic strip." There's nothing astonishing about that. A hatnote here is more than sufficient. The
Joker (character) article doesn't need a Whizzer and Chips hatnote because it already has a link to the disambiguation page, which includes a link to this one.

Support some clarification, since the current title can be easily misunderstood to refer to the DC Joker. I don't have strong feelings about what the clarification should be, but probably lean more toward "(UK comic strip)" on the grounds that it's likely to be better understood by more people.
