Wow

Hype
HOLD THE PHONE MAN THIS GOODDD
I think they should have never revealed his name or like you said make it Jack Napier White. Though I can understand why they went with Jack White as that is one of Joker's alias.
I think Bruce had it right in The Three Jokers. "It doesn't matter what The Joker's real name is. It never was." Meaning it's what he does that defines him.
I guess that's true after all a names just a name.
The last vestige of understanding that not everything NEEDS to be explained in order to be enjoyed. Same as Wolverine (although, I understand why Marvel did it... they didn't want Fox To tell the origin of Wolverine, so they did it themselves), modern writers simply don't understand that a big part of the appeal of certain characters is the mystery surrounding their origins. All those different versions of the Joker that have appeared in different media for decades... none of them would've been the same (and probably not as good) had the Joker had an origin story and a name.
Oh well. Nothing good lasts forever.
@@lincolnpascual I mean I think most people who like a joker pretty much has the killing joke origin and name as canon. It's a small grain of sand dropped into the sea compared to the desert of the character. They can still give him different origins.
It doesn't matter what Batmans name is, it never was...
@Artisan1979 way to quote Batman Begins. 😆
Batman and Joker knew who each other were but they didn’t care about that, they cared what they become, the persona.
They both were smart and crazy the perfect fit that way it's deadly
Joker never knew Batman’s name, as he never wanted to know it. He always felt it would ruin the mystique and the joke for him. He even killed someone in the comics who was trying to tell him who Batman really was.
Cap
The symbol
@@jeffreysimms2318 thats true but there have been adaptations and stories where joker always knew he was bruce wayne but he still didnt care as he viewed bruce wayne as boring and batman as who he was really was
For those who don’t know, the jokers real name is Jack Oswald White.
Thank you. I’m not watching a 10 min video to simply find out his name.
@No Such Channel thx bro
They shouldn't have given joker a name, it just takes away the mystery of who he really is
I was thinking it's Jack Napier because of that 1989 film. Like the rest of you guys, I'm not wasting 11 minutes to find out.
Arthur, actually
It's interesting how they made his name Jack White since that was apparently "one of his oldest aliases" according to Oracle in Batman Arkham Asylum. This reveal basically tells us that it WASN'T an alias. Joker used his REAL NAME for certain things, and no one ever knew. I don't know how I feel about this, but it's definitely intriguing.
Damn another reason to love the Arkham games
Ask Joe.
A genius move if you ask me. Throw enough bullshit out there and no one will know what of what you said was true and what wasn't
sounds like something the joker would do lol
Hide the truth in plain sight. Gotta love it!
Yeah. Giving a name to one of the most mysterious characters in comic history really does take away what made the Joker so iconic.
It can, but if it's that important then writers should never have Batman know or even hint that he knows Joker's real name ever. All that does make a plot point that you have to address eventually and if you don't it stops being "iconic" or a "mystery" and starts becoming more of a cop-out where the meta reason is right there.
Basically, if you mention that Batman knows who is behind Joker's mask rip it off, but if you don't want to don't set yourself up for it. Personally, I get it with the iconic shit, but it's been several years just take the mask off. Everything is gonna get rebooted shortly afterwards anyway.
DC and WB are always in Crisis mode. Literally.
Ok that's an exaggeration.....
There is like three of them sooooo
They called him Jack Napier in Batman ‘89 & the animated series, and everyone accepted it. It’s only recently where everyone insists that he shouldn’t have a name.
"Jack Napier" was always a fitting name as not only a Jack is the J in a deck of cards, but also 'Naipes' is the name for Spanish-suited playing cards 🤔
I think they should kept it too, as not like Jack Oswald White some deep or better name.
Also, _jackanapes_ is an archaic term for an ape/primate.
Bruce making sure Jokers family is safe is so heart warming.
that's in a separate cannon is not in the main cannon
I honestly loved the fact that The Joker didn't have a name for many years and instead represented a dark comedic twist that basically made viewers and readers alike scratching our heads trying to debunk his true name questioning our own sanity. I thought his name was John Doe like the one mentioned in the tell tale series Joker Origin. That is why I love The Joker he can be anything or anybody you want just like in the three Jokers story. He literally gives any writer the freedom to go crazy lol
I guess if you love contrived nonsense then enjoy. DC treats his insanity as superpower, but the reality is the police would had little trouble figuring out who he was. He is entirely too infamous of a criminal to not have his past dragged into the light. It remained a mystery purely due to lazy writing to drum up drama where there wasn't anything noteworthy happening.
Him having name is just a mundane detail. They list tall he is and other physical traits in his profile, having that single box unchecked wasn't leaving much to the imagination. Honestly putting the context of his name went unsaid because Batman and the police were protecting his family makes way more sense than everyone in the DC is magically bamboozled by the Joker's craziness into something not being able to figure out his indentity. That is just silly and makes no sense in a world where people with psychic powers can easily probe his mind or talk to ghost or some other crazy tech to deciper his identity.
I think he should have a name without an identity he’s evil for the sake of evil with no origin.
He pondered the different potential origins of how he became the Joker, saying "... sometimes I remember it this way, sometimes I remember it that way. If I have to have a history, I prefer it to be multiple choice." That mystery has been maintained for a lot of years.
Pun intended ?
I dont believe that will be his name.
Because like joker said. Sometimes i remember it one way and sometimes another if i am to have a past, i would it to be multiple choice.
It’s worth noting that in Arkham asylum that Jack White is one “Jokers oldest allies”
Oracle says “oldest known alias” I believe
@@Grandmaster1up No it was Batman who said that
true!!! the point is, its a name mentioned related around the joker before it was issued to his identity
Yes I remember this moment, I believe it's from the first Arkham game, you're in the sewers or catacombs some where under Arkham and Batman says it.
@@ardent9422 Yea it was in Asylum in the sewers after getting Killer Croc's door
I actually always thought his name was jack Nappier until I’ve read issue 5
In The White Knight series and in Batman '89 it is but not in any other continuity
Smh
Same here
I just say his real name is pablo.
Joseph Kerr
I understand your perspective on keeping his name a mystery. But as a 40 year old comic book fan, lifelong comic book fan. I get happy seeing this kind of stuff. It's like Logan (James howlett) finally getting a name after 25 years. I'm glad to have something solid even if it's not meaningful. But I'm sure they'll make something of it
i agree
Same I agree it cool they gave him a name and I cant wait to see what they come up with next and even if we know it still is intresting to think about
Old Joker looked like Willem Dafoe and Green Lantern looked like Jensen Ackles
I'm surprised that, so far, there's no fan of the Arkham video series made a connection that "Jack White" is a reference to the alias that the Joker used while he was funding Dr. Young's Titan Project in Arkham Asylum. After going to the Batcave for the first time, in the sewers where you find the door to get a Killer Croc jumpscare, Oracle mentioned a "Jack White" and Batman confirming that it's one of Joker's alias.
Exactly what I thought of. I thought it was his Alias 🤔
Yes^
I cant count the times ive played through those games and didnt remember that, nice catch!
First thing I thought of actually.
I knew I’d heard the “Jack White” name somewhere else before.
I love how what this really tells us is that Batman tested an all-knowing cosmic chair against his own knowledge to make sure it wasn't a sham...twice
In my opinion Gotham is great especially the Riddler and Penguin, and thier "jokers" are very underrated, Cameron Monaghan is a phenomenal actor
huge batman fan here, and I will say that most people that didnt like it because they werent able to stop themselves from comparing the two entities. In order to enjoy the show(as much as you and I both did) you need to detach yourself from what you know about batman, and enjoy the show for what it gives you; great acting, and better story telling
I actually kinda do like that Joker has a name now( he always had many names figuratively). Hear me out: Giving a name(s) to Joker made him human in doing that, it proves Joker is no longer human but a monster we all love. Since whatever reason DC says that made Joker become Joker; it holds true to what Joker represents/essence,” It just takes one bad day, one person, one fruit fly, one joke, one push or thought to make a human go mad”. It also makes it sort of creepy and cool since his boring somewhat common names shows anyone & everyone is Crazy.
Joker’s real name is Joe Kerr
Um... It doesn't make sense that the Joker would only have one name given that we just had Geoff Johns' Three Jokers story. Each Joker would have his own name... So, theoretically, Jack Oswald White, Jack Napier, and Arthur Fleck could ALL be canon names for the Three Jokers in current Canon DC Continuity. The question would be which Joker came first.
Also, remember that Geoff Johns described his Jokers as the Comedian, the Criminal, and the Clown...
Arthur Fleck was a professional clown. Jack Napier was a gangster. And per the White Knight story, Jack White was a failed stand-up comedian, similar to Alan Moore's The Killing Joke (which is now Canon). So there you have it... the Comedian (Jack Oswald White), the Criminal (Jack Napier), and the Clown (Arthur Fleck).
That’s a very good point
Building on that too, we actually see all 3 versions in Gotham
The circus version (Clown) the lead of the prisoners/face re-attached (Comedian) and then the twin (Criminal)
It's referring to the main joker which three jokers also established that the comedian was the original joker
Mean that's the joker with the jack Oswald white name
His name in white knight was jack Napier lol
my mind is blown
Hey. They actually mention Joker's name "Jack White" in Batman: Arkham Asylum during the part of the game when you are climbing up the sewer back to the surface. But "Jack White" was actually Joker's alter-alias according to Oracle in the game. But I am surprised that Jack Oswald White is Joker's real name. But yeah. I wanted to remind you about "Jack White" in Batman: Arkham Asylum. Fun little fact that I wanted to tell you.
funny
jack white, in arkham asylum, is described as one of his oldest aliases, so i like the idea that it's his real name, and nobody realized. like, you spew enough BS, nobody knows whats real.
yeah this was revealed in the Batman Arkham games. Originally on the batman Arkham website it had character profiles of everyone in the game much like in the game that you could also unlock through riddler trophies. Before the game was released on the Jokers profile it read Real name: Jack White. so really this was softly revealed about 11 years ago. Later the website changed it to unknown as it says in the game. The Oswald part was a new wrinkle though.
I remember in Batman Arkham Asylum, Oracle mentions that Joker went under the pseudonym: Jack White
Yes, that's one of his alias that he used to help fund Dr. Young's Titan Project. I'm literally playing the game right now and it surprised me since I found out that they revealed Joker's "name" a few days ago.
Exactly!
I had the same idea too bro
@@callen78 so this wasn’t a surprise to me.
I think the joker is infamous enough that revealing his name does little to affect his place in the comics
I mean, it makes sense. When the Joker gets going, a seven nation army couldn't hold him back.
What music do you guys use in your videos? Especially at the end when listing new interesting comics, it gives me goosebumps!
The long term plans are my concern. I don't mind them giving him a name like Jack White as it is so generic. The Oswald does make you think of Penguin but there shouldn't be much connection as Oswald is Cobblepots first name and the jokers age makes it clear he wouldn't be named after him, like a long lost son. The fact they confirmed the Joker's backstory did concern me and now that they gave him a name linked to it makes me worried they indeed will go ahead and give some dumb meaning. As it is, it doesn't really change much. It narrows some options but not many. My hope is they are setting this up so they can get one last publicity payoff on the three jokers plot since it was such a long event, before retconning everything back to start anyway. They realize there are a lot of people who love an Elseworlds esque one-shot where the Joker is confirmed, that people are a little done with the string of reboot crisis lately and won't like keeping the joker revealed forever. To soften the blow of the current crisis, they will do everything they can with the Jokers origins as a gimik during it and them wipe the slate clean to satisfy the masses. Most do not want Joker yo have a revealed backstory and most don't like the retconning Crisis we've been given so it will only be incentive to go along with another. Expire the what-if?, then immediatly undo it to fix the Joker back.
Jack White is also one of his fake aliases. Like “Joe Kerr”.
The jokers name should Biff Webster, Buster Crowley, a man's name Chuck Steak
A mate of mine’s name is literally Jack White
@@nihilsnake4017 looks like he's got a new nickname now 😋
I didn't know his name before this. And before I even clicked on this I said to myself "His name is Jack White." I managed to stun myself without meaning to.
So he could actually be the White Knight. I guess he is in that one elseworlds book.
Man looked into the future
Are you a fan of the Arkham video game series?
Is he the lead singer for the White Stripes?
Exactly my thoughts! Are you an Arkham asylum fan? He uses that name there
You guys plugged that sponsor is so effortlessly 😂
In one version, mainly in Capullo's stories, the Joker's real name was though to be Redmund Hudd, aka Bruce's psychiatrist
I tend to like the anonymity of the Joker- he could be anyone and everyone, kind of deal. That's what makes him so scary- he could have been your next-door neighbour for you all know. Certainly interesting, but I'm not sure about it. I'm more curious about where the storyline is heading.
Honestly I prefer when the origin is never perfectly confirmed which means that there’s room for fan interpretation. However it doesn’t bother me that they revealed his origin and real name, especially since (let’s be honest) all of this could get ret conned away after one bad day at DC comics.
Joseph Kerr
@@eruss4373
I liked that name too
@@eruss4373 That's waay too on the nose. Even for comics. I groaned when people used that name, Joe Kerr.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
Great vid my brother loved it all now I can choose what to read this year
They should of at least kept The Joker's real name mysterious since I don't mind that The Killing Joke was made as his canon origins but revealing his real name kinda destroys the mystery behind the Joker.
Not really, as what batman said. His name doesn't really matter. It doesn't change anything
But cmon it been 70 years
Of course DC will reaveal it fast or slow ly
should've*
Demystifying the Joker is just.... No.
True
Don't really need the Joker name. Just give me more of Batman vs Ghost maker.
I don't mind not knowing about Joker's back story. But at the same time I don't want him to be some mystical encarnation of chaos. I just want him to be some dude with enough bad days on him
Awesome Video Bro.
I like the idea of the Joker not being a singular person, but rather a sequence of notjobs always trying to outperform one another against the Bat. Of course, this would have to be re-conned in as the Joker was often in Arkham or prison which would have allowed the others to step up and they didn't. Either way, having the Joker as a man with no name was better.
His Real name is actually:
"Jack White Joker"
Honestly, the best Joker name of all time in my opinion was Joeseph Kerr as in Joe Kerr from Batman: Going Sane.
And his dad Steve being the real monster for naming Joker's brother Nick
No, that's entirely too on the nose evne for comics. I groaned that the first time I heard it. I'm glad that never stuck.
Going Sane was amazing.
Jack Napier was also inspired by a slang name for the Joker as a playing card - Jack of Naipes. But I've always thought of the original origin of the Joker - a villain with a red mask who fell into chemicals that disfigured him.
I loved the origin story that the three jokers gave us because it gave more detail on the joker's origin without spoiling the mystery and thrill of who he is. It's like we know him without knowing who he really is. The story confirmed that the killing joke origin of joker is legit, not only that but he also have a child and wife somewhere, but they still hid his identity by introducing 2 more jokers. We were left with a question? Is he a old criminal that went insane? did he really fall in the vat of acid? is it even an accident? did joker created joker? If so who is the first joker?
Exactly. This only revealed one Joker, not all three.
I do like the Joker creates Joker idea as after the 2019 Joker came out and saw similarities Jouaquin's Joker had with Heath's Joker lead me to believe that Joker was a prequel of sorts to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Sounds farfetched I know
@Will N yes! I could agree with that.
The three jokers was just jokers from different eras.
I like the idea of nobody knowing his real name it was so unique to his character. It’s upsetting that DC has been running itself into the ground lately.
What's so unique not knowing shit about Joker? Nothing unique at all. Maybe finally some backstory to him so he doesn't look like Heath's Joker.
@@leniwsek wdym so he doesn’t look like heaths joker you realize that heaths joker is a portrayal off of the joker and not the other way around right the joker is meant to be mysterious and his character is composed of the twisted shit he does and nothing is matters to it
@@ilikeyt414 I don't think Joker needs to be mysterious character to be fans favorite one and interesting. He can do much more than just being unknown nobody that came from nowhere.
character’s been alive for so long, it was bound to happen eventually
And Marvel as well. It's a race to the bottom.
Shoot For years I thought his name was Jack Napier and the second close name I could think of was Jack White from Batman Arkham asylum
Napier is his name but in the Burton films
That's a cool watchband you got there! Looks awesome! My opinion of name of Joker is I like his answer for the "One bad day" series... "If I'm going to have an origin, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice!" Not knowing, and knowing he's crazy to begin with, keeps him unpredictable. Batman follows Logic which is structured and leaves a trail, but the Joker is crazy with a trail of twists and turns... it makes them mirror very well.
Man, I really loved the Joker in the White Stripes. Who knew he was such a talented musician.
The Three Jokers is imo one of the best Joker stories. It's got a lot of depth and while I don't like how Batman defends Jason in it at all, I think it portrays the Jokers in a very interesting way
I will say that in this case, if fans are really really upset by this reveal, they can easily retcon it as only the name of Joker of the Flashpoint Universe.
That’s a good point! Didn’t even think of that
It's not as if his name hasn't been retconned several times before.
Wait martha visits the joker (before changing) in her universe? Not the main universe?
@@Lastjustice Yep. Honestly I'm surprised anyone at DC is even bothered to give the Clown Prince of Crime a name at this rate.
@@redrobin2682 I think so
“Anonymity is the best of line of defense” in writing. Open ended explanations are the best source material to draw from for future stories.
Its like an "oh, okay"moment where you learn it but its underwhelming.
Kinda like that skit in Harley Quinn when the scacrecrow took off Bruce's mask but Joker was more annoyed how Wayne Corp still isnt getting their electric car out.
Jack White happens to also be one of the Jokers alias's that he uses when he needs to hide the fact that he is the Joker. It's the name he used to get Doctor Young from the Arkham Asylum game to make the Titan formula.
Wait Jack Napier was just the names of a couple actors? That a crazy coincidence considering Jack Napier is actually a perfect pun for someone who would be the Joker since a deck of cards has both Jokers and Jacks and in spanish a Deck of cards is sometimes refered as "Naípes" which is pretty darn close to "Napier" (even if the pronunciations is kinda different "Nah-ee-pehs")
It's also a play on 'Jackanapes' ;)
It could also be a reference to the word "jackanapes".
I thought this too lol
Jack Napier is actually a play on the word “jackanapes” used to describe a sardonic, vain man. It’s rather archaic. But it fits with the character traits displayed by Jack Napier pre-Joker.
Thanks you for your video and channel
Joker's real name is Jeremiah Wayne Bruce Wayne's older brother reveal through the TV series of Gotham the 2014 version goes on the path of the same character of Jerome. Character story arc.
This was a stupid thing to do, I liked how his name was a mystery
Like others have said: "It's not his name that matters, it's the mystery." Or something along those lines
Jack Oswald White later formed a band where he pretended his ex wife drummer was his sister. The perfect cover for his twisted night time persona.
What's very interesting is that I've always thought the jokers true name could be Melvin White. In the Dark Knight, Alfred is looking through possible identities of the joker and that's the one they mentioned in the movie. I do kind of wish it was Jack Napier White though.
How long till you do history of Alfred Pennyworth since you did so many Batman related videos?
I really hope Jack White isn't his real name, and if it is then I won't consider it Canon. His "real" name doesn't matter, he is and always will be the joker
It don't matter what you consider, word is from the creator
@@ratedr7845 it does to me
I'm glad they dropped his name. I always thought that the 1980s Killing Joke Comic issue came before the 80s Batman film. I read that old comic, and "Jack Napier," was his name in his memories. Alternatively, I feel the comics still hold Canon and drop bits and pieces here and there. I would say that his Canon name for the original Joker being Jack Oswald White still holds true to the Killing Joke Joker, as in the Flashpoint comics, Martha talking about Jack and the panel for it mimics the same art style in Joker's flashbacks of his family. As Killing Joke Joker said, "Sometimes I remember it one way. . Sometimes another. If I'm going to have a past, I perfer it to be multiple choice." What Martha said actually matches up canonical, and now we have A) A real Canon name, and B) we now know what parts of The Killing Joke Joker's memories were altered or he was in denial of.
Me who has already known it was "Jack Napier" my whole life.
Who knew the lead singer of The White Stripes was Batman's arch nemesis?
Batman vs The Seven Nation Army
He took his divorce alot harder than we realized...
I wish they would stop trying to reveal the jokers origin or name. It can never be as good as the mystery. They keep revealing this stuff, then backpedaling or retconning. That nonsense make it all irrelevant. And the 3 jokers was dumb.
The Morbius chair is just an uncomfortable, broken, sticky theater chair you can't get out of until you finish watching Morbius.
WOW, I can't believe I never thought about The Joker's real name until this video. I was so use to hearing The Joker.
Although I did like the name Arthur from the movie, I do think Jack has a better ring to it so I'm glad they're using that. And I think White as the surname is interesting because you could say maybe it represents The Joker's white face paint/make up that he uses. That's how I see it at least.
Just don’t get it confused with Jack Black
well a seven nation army couldn't hold him back....
So I'm almost wondering if the first joker from the original Batman trilogy is a real origin, just like the mask of Phantasm is a real origin, just like the killing joke is a real origin, and we're slowly realizing we're getting the actual origin stories for all three individual jokers? So they're not entirely wrong. It's just we had no idea that they were all the joker
One comic I read, it had 2 jokers as one jack Napier passed the mantel of joker to Joe white, it also revealed where joker had his money hidden
Jack Oswald White. How crazy! I like it and I hope it sticks.
I honestly always knew the joker’s real name as ‘Jack White’ from the Arkham games, cause he used that name while tricking Doctor Young, so this doesn’t honestly surprise or change anything for me, but it’s cool that it is actually now his official comic name!
They’re going to retcon this in some way. How Martha was fooled.
personally, I like the name Arthur Fleck from the Joker movie. Dunno how to explain it but it suits the Joker.
1:13 - Batman : yes , teeth needs work
Why's the name of Gotham's_Joker such a big secret apart from him being called Jack_Napier in the 90s Batman Movies and him being called Arthur_Fleck in Joaquin phoenix Joker movie?
I strong side with the theory that Arthur Fleck is in the future. I think he just inserted himself into the mythos. He's the second Joker. He heard about the Joker, Batman, all that happened decades prior, and just imagined himself being the Joker and in turn, becoming the New Joker.
If they're committing to a reveal, it's likely they're committing to a pretty large-scale retcon as well, which likely means that this reveal is relatively worthless to the upcoming DC comics universe after the dust settles if that's the case. There will be no payoff to be had for anyone knowing that the previous universe's remaining Joker's real name was Jack White if the new universe's Joker's real name isn't Jack White.
Batman: "What's the Joker's TRUE name?"
Later...
"I always knew his name, since a week after we met..."
I read both these books when they came out, and I now just realized this. Comics are messy...
Well, I don't think The Three Jokers was supposed to be canon anyway, unless fans wanted it to be.
It’s funny, asking the chair who killed his parents was an obvious test, and then we thought as readers the next question was genuine, but it wasn’t: he knew the jokers name and knew only something with all the knowledge would share that info. So that question was also a test of the chair, it’s just that he was expecting the name he knew and not that there were 3 jokers.
The Joker isn't a name, he's a force.
Yea in Arkham asylum, Oracle went over joker's alias "Jack White" when referring of the conversations between Dr Young and Joker himself. I like how he used that name despite actually being his real name making people assume that its more than likely not really his name ultimately throwing them off his tracks. Maybe I'm overthinking this but that intrigued me when making that connection
i already knew the name and i still watched the video cause your videos always hit.
When are we getting variant podcast back?
When I saw this I’m like, “Oh great. Whats new with the Bat-Man lore this time 😒?”
Stare at the title again: Jokers🃏 name revealed.
Me: “Wait!!!!!!🤯”
Until it get retconned again. Just like Magneto been named a couple times.
Jack Oswald White... Are you fucking kidding me? Jack (shocker 💀), Oswald (derivative 💀), White (ok I guess).
Anything else would've been better.
come up with five
Before I watch I’m guessing his name is Jack Napier
Edit: I was close but wrong his name is Jack Oswald White (Jack White)
Wasn’t Jack White the pseudonym Joker used to legally acquire the land for the abandoned amusement park in The Killing Joke?
To save you time, The jokers name is not revealed on this video.
I honestly dont think the joker need a real name, yeah i know he had alias in diffrent media which i didnt mind along as the joker real name is never revealed which allows him to remain mysterious.
I hope Geoff Johns's work with the Joker just gets retconned. Making the Killing Joke origin canon, missing the story's point, demystifying the Joker... Ugh.
@@fynnthefox9078
I agree, I hope it undone since it would complete negate the "past has multiple choice" line in the comic.
Who cares? The Joker having name has little bearing to he currently is. His name could be Ben parker for all it matters.
i think him not having a definitive name was what made him so mysterious, but the way my mind works makes me have to know
Another Crisis?!? Glad I jumped ship on comics YEARS ago!
They F*cked Up. The mistery of The Joker Charater was somenthing Special. But...Now......
You had Decades of Mystery
Wait, it's not Joker McJokerson?
I voted for Joe Kerr. If you said this earlier i would have voted for this instead. Be clever faster... hahahaha
But IT IS.
That Joker statue looks amazing!
WOW now the Mystery is over but, in the end, I like it
Meh…
Not your video. The reveal in the comics, just doesn’t hold any weight, that is worth making it canon.
Why ever reveal who he actually is?
Joker’s exist, regardless of what happens in many universes.
I really thought she was going to tell Thomas, that he had put another bun in her oven(whether with the tampering of another character or not), the last time they were cozy, and she had the child, who then somehow ended up in the main DC universe, etc.
That would be been too soap operatic, but I just don’t think any name would’ve worked very well.
Its part of the history, not really knowing, or it just not mattering, except for falling into the chemicals, when Batman is coming for him.
Yeah I agree with you
Taking away the wisp and wonder and mystery after all these years jus kinda flatlined the mythic
