I was getting more jack Nicholson vibes
Phoenix wasn't funny.
@@jamman9569 you're about to get what you deserve.
Benjamin Ruggles His character was trying to make it as a comedian
@@HB448 Nah, thats the 4th one...the gangster
"If I have to have a backstory I prefer it to be multiple choice."
Ok
Legendary line. Legendary novel.
Mr Maj It’s only from one of the best written pieces of Batman history ever but ok u do u boo
One of the best Joker lines ever!
@@OnewingedAngel69 he needs to get on that book asap! It makes my nerd heart sad he didn't recognize it
That whole "I'll be your Robin" thing was absolute ACE writing. How Hood being a thorn in Batman's side by being his ultra violent self made him Joker's unknowing sidekick. My goodness... ~Chef Kiss~
nobody like jason todd anyhow..
campkira actually, the fans love jason and the transformation from robin to red hood
campkira yo i like jasonwdym
@@manolovillarojo302 ithink he meant no one liked him initially because he was dick 2.0 but when he came back as red hood every one liked him
@@shaunstorey23 tru tru his old backstory was a reprint of dick before crisis i think
Every deck has two jokers but three? Now that’s true madness.
New way to play "Go fish"...and Jason found a new way to play too! :D
Cringe.
Lmfaooo
I just want a live-action R-rated Red Hood movie
Same man
We'll get it one day
I think we all do!
Same
I'd like that but I think we would need to be a decent length into a DC universe. Enough that we had Dick Grayson as Robin, then Nightwing and then Jason Todd as Robin.
But if Joker's over there, and he's over here...THEN WHO'S DRIVING THE TRUCK?!
Hired goon.
OH MY GOD BEAR IS DRIVING HOW CAN THAT BE!?
Nos feratu
The other joker
I think
The one thing that’s missing, that would make this the best Batty Bat comic ever? If Batman had pulled out “Bat-Shark Repellent” from his belt and sprayed the Joker Shark. That would’ve been amazing.
Batman doesn’t carry the repellant ..... robin does
@@microwave4928 Yeah, Jason should have had it.
@@microwave4928 wasnt it on the helicopter tho?
Wait i thought the bat shark repellant was a joke for the lego batman movie its cannon?
@@WinterSWW are you being serious?
Batman: who is the joker?
Joker 1: allow me
Joker 2: to itroduce
Joker 3: myself
Batman: \grabs gun/ welp the code can be broken twice.
Love it 😂
Itroudouce
Jay Z: My name is hov, H to the O V
You forgot to mention that after Barbara said she didn't want any of this, Jason replied with "When's the last time you missed Barbara?". Kind of showing she sort of really wanted the Joker to die. And that is just so... *mua*
Subconsciously she did and we all know Damn well she isn't missing with that batarang. That's why she got upset,she wanted him dead but feels like taking a life is wrong regardless if it's someone who paralyzed her and raped her.
Musa Mansa, because it wouldn’t be justice, but personal vengeance.
@@callmev3531 Killing a rapist is justice, lol.
@@davidlazaro5362 no lies detected 🤷🏾 lol
@@callmev3531 true
Holy shit, that “I’ll be your Robin” line is amazing.
No.
That shit set Jason off but honestly he was a kid getting his face and skull beaten in with crowbar. A lot of adults would've said anything to make him stop as well.
Musa Mansa shit was just unexpected and it hit me in the feels.
@@hunterknox4756 hell yeah. Jason will never get over that shit. Joker is great at mentally damaging people.
It's amazing and heartbreaking
He's Joker! "Jack Nicholson dancing with a cane"
He's Joker! "Heath Ledger telling another scar story"
He's Joker! "Jared Leto doing his stupid laugh"
I'm Joker! "Joaquin Phoenix dancing down the stairs "
Are there any more Jokers I should know about!?
"Cesar Romero comes out with his mustache even thicker..."
Blue jay3022 Jeremiah from Gotham - I’m just J 😂 but you can call me whatever
Spongebob Reference, I Like It.
Don't forget about Mark Hamill.
Look I took the whole 3 Jokers thing and made it into a whole theory: One Joker is Heath Ledger, the other is Joaquin Phoenix, and the mastermind is Mark Hamill. Why Hamill? Because how else can he ‘Jedi mind trick’ two regular ass people to become 2 whole Jokers?
😳😑 I’m Outta Here
The Criminal - Golden Age
The Clown - Death in the Family & Laughing Fish
The Comedian - Killing Joke & New 52
• The Criminal (Presumabely the Golden Age Joker, same clothing, same pose, indeed a criminal.)
• The Comedian (The one who appeared in The Killing Joke and shot Barbara Gordon, the *failed* comedian so to speak.)
• The Clown (The original Joker that appeared in almost all post-crisis Batman stories like Neal Adams’ 70’s stories, the one in the Laughing Fish story, and the one who ”killed” Jason Todd in A Death in the Family.)
Predator good point, very possible
Predator indeed, how is he alive in this continuity though? That’s the question.
So are they different people?
@@astukokiotili5496 we don’t know yet
Crisis on Infinite Earths was in 1985, not the same as the silver age joker from the 1970s
A thing that I noticed is what Red Hood said to Batgirl "When was the last time you missed." It's like Batgirl wanted it to happen, and missed on purpose
more like in her head...
That's the point thon
Even worse why would batman leave RedHood alone with the joker...
You didnt just notice it
That was literally his point
That was the point lol. You didn't notice it, it was blatant.
The fact that Wilem Dafoe has never played Joker is just wasted opportunity.
Been saying this for years. Biggest missed opportunity and wasted potential in casting, but at least he was the Green Goblin.
Might be in the future
Given that the recent "Joker" movie was said to be one of many versions of joker, it could still happen.
“You’re the one who’s out Joker! Out of your mind!” -Batman
“Gee, you think?” -Gordon
“Misery, Misery, Misery” -Joker
That's my dream
When I read “I’ll be your Robin” I felt my heart sink. The dialogue at the end between Jason, Barbara and Joker is honestly phenomenal!
For real. That shit was amazing story-telling.
4:01 no one seems to have noticed that the jokerized men look exactly like the two criminals who went with Joker to Ace Chemicals and the Joker himself in the original Killing Joke story
Joker once raped one of his henchman's ex wives as a form of punishment in the Graphic Novel "Joker." I don't believe it's mainline canon though. To be honest their isn't much off the table for Joker.
He doesn't like racism and any sort of bigotry if the Marvel crossover is anything to go by.
Weren't they shot dead by the cops in The Killing Joke?
20 seconds later it literally says they were chosen to represent those 3 men.
Batman: Who is the Joker?
Mobius Chair: Yes.

@@punk5585 thats a fanart
Dude, I'd do ANYTHING to hear Mark Hamill deliver the "I'll be your Robin" monologue...
For aome reason I picture John DiMaggio as The Clown, Mark Hamill as The Criminal, and Troy Baker as The Comedian.
Batman: What's the identity of The Joker
Mobius Chair: There's three actually
Yes, what I been thinking...
I thought he was going to say it to Jim 😁
is this an into the spider-verse reference
@@kodiakkk no
@@kodiakkk no...never say a DC thing is a marvel reference
I guess Joker was never a person, but a really crazy idea
And ideas are immortal which makes him undefeatable.
You hit it right on the nose buddy
meh....he been around so long it don't matter anymore.... you kill one.. there another 2...
@Moises yeah they didn't really succeed in that though
The real Joker was the friends we made along the way
*3 Jokers*
Batman: Aww, 💩 here we go again
Maybe three conversations of jokers happen in a mind palace of the real Joker
ach scheiße...nicht schon wieder
Yo wtf I see you everyday
@OneAboveAll Unless the dead one gets replaced so "three" remain.
"It's not what I Doo Doo that defines me..."! 💩👈🏻... - BATMAN!
Anyone: FINALLY HE'S DEAD!
Everyone: No he's not.
Anyone: LET ME DREAM DAMMIT!
there 2 more...don't foget one that can rise from the death... so it getting pointless..
@@campkira And with all these "jokerised" people, Joker become an idea rather than a singular being, rendering him 'immortal'
Fun fact: in the original jokers first appearance, he died at the end by accidentally being stabbed with a knife, but the editors brought him back
Clearly they’re trying to convert Jason into the new better joker
Joker's unpredictability and insanity, plus Jason's violence and skills, those are deadly insane formula to be a new Joker 🃏
@@aditkoel Yes, yesss, yesssssss!
What if Jason kills batman becoming the joker but it's a bit more permanent than it usually is. And starts targeting the bat family starting with Tim drake. And nightwing takes over batman's mantle again and has to grapple with stopping his brother for good.
You can call it issues Cane and Able.
@@thegooddinggleberry
*Crickets*
Btw very dumb idea
He is faster, stronger, more ruthless
He is.....
The superior joker
@@thegooddinggleberry It seems a bit too fanfic-y but otherwise it could be enjoyable as a non-canon stand alone story
I’m pretty sure this will NEVER happen.. but how sick would it be if they were setting up the three jokers…
Joaquin Phoenix: the criminal (golden age, classic joker)
Jared Leto: the clown (there have been hints in Batman vs. Superman that Jared Leto’s joker is the joker that is in death in the family.. robins suit being cover in ha ha and it also says something along the lines of “of you let him die”
Barry Keoghan: the comedian (he appears to be the most demented joker we’ve see since ledger and I could totally see him being the killing joke joker)
Jack Nichelson and Heath Ledger were more of a criminal than Phoenix tbh
Jaw dropped after hearing "I'll be your robin!" Like jeez
Also, casting calls? Maybe these jokers are seeking out importers..?
I love all of the little details they add in the artwork to go along with the story. Like the comedian that was killed, his shirt matches the shirt on the killing joke Joker. The smiling shark was a nice touch. This is an amazing first issue!
I think it's important to add that when Barbara threw her batarang to stop Jason, Jason implies she missed him on purpose
If the killing joke joker is in this comic does that mean Batman didn’t kill him at the end of the Killing joke storyline
Or he was replaced. They all seem to have the same memories.
We only know that there is currently 3, we don't know if there was only ever 3, but no, he probably didn't kill joker at the end.
A popular theory is that Batman didn’t actually kill Joker but instead injected him with his own toxin. Some evidence is that in one of the earlier panels, Batman specifically looks at his hand after Joker loses his toxin buzzer and killing joke takes place before Joker is established to have an immunity to his own toxin. I honestly think it works quite well
The end is always a point of contention, but for the most part the parts that remain the same is batman's dealings with joker and what joker did to barbara gordon. Now some say that she was "raped" by the joker and some say he didn't. I have to be on the side of he did in the case that he did undress her and violate her by taking pictures of her nude. If we go by those things it CAN be constituted as rape for those acts
The “boss one looks like he has a faint mustache and now I can only think of him with Caesar Romero’s voice.
I'm 14 years old, and I'm obsessed with this book. I've already got it all set up to have my grandparents drive me to my local comic shop on the 29th when it opens, so I can buy all the issue two covers!
they all could be clones with all his memories and that would explain why they all look alike
It would be dumb as hell
But that wouldn't explain why the Mobius chair told Batman that there are three Jokers instead of telling him his real name.
Roi Bar-Yosef joker has taken on many different appearances over the years to where we don’t know which is the one true joker and which ones aren’t him
No. No Clones. Clones is one of, if not the worst trope in comic books, perhaps all of fiction. That and alternate reality duplicates. it's just so lazy.
Issue one explains it. The chemicals mutates your DNA and features into the Joker's look.
There is no indication that they have his memories. “Sometimes I remember it one way... sometimes another.”
Then maybe each one has all their memory.
Man I really don’t blame Jason, good on him.
"I'm da Jokah Baby!"
- Jokah Baby
The Kings of Comedy are here and ready to turn Gotham upside down.
Warm Lillie
Now I want to see Mark Hamil sing The World Turned Upside Down
“But if he’s over here, then who was flickering the lights?”
This basically gonna most of this series.
It was Nosferatu
I was hoping that the Three Jokers would be a case of multiple Personalities Disorder... That'll explain how exactly the joker is mad coz for a mad man he always committed crimes that seemed well thought out to me! But I'm ready to be surprised!! I really don't want the joker to be reduced to a mantle or persona like Robin, Ronin etc
Nah usually with superheroes with disorders they try to stick on how they realistically work and edit it a bit I’m pretty sure he’s just insane I remember reading somewhere actually that he was so insane he was the most sane character and realized he was in a comic book
@@biletyt8339 That was in one issue only where at the end of the issue he winked at the readers
He isn’t super sane in the main canon , he is just crazy
This is masterclass writing and art man. Honest to god future generations should study stories like these in school alongside Macbeth and Beowulf.
Anyone else hear Jensen Ackles voice when they read Red Hoods dialogue
He did a really good job in the movie. I also prefer this design for Batgirl as opposed to the New 52 one. I think Arkham Knight's Batgirl design is perfect.
He even looks like Jensen Ackles in this comic
Joot to be fair he’s the only one who’s voiced him
Joot oh shoot I didn’t know that
Right....
I want an animated movie of this story line with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamel.
Three Jokers & Joker War at the same frikin time is just nuts & awesome!
I think "The Three Jokers" would be one of the topics that are gonna be discussed at this Saturday's DC FANDOME
Three Jokers!
I thought 1 was enough that’s tuff
I wonder if they want Jason as their better Joker, that'd be an interesting take
This was sooo awesome! I can't wait to see the rest of the series unfold! Thanks for this breakdown!
So basically, Joker may have implanted himself into other people like what he did to Tim Drake in Batman Beyond?
I didn't consider this.
Or just tortured them into believing they too are the Joker.
Oh my God. This story is so original and spectacular! I love every bit of it! Especially Jason when he killed joker. That was badass
Nah it's the opposite of badass, what the scene is implying is that Joker has manipulated Jason up and even past the point of shooting him. Jason killing is exactly what Joker wanted, he played Jason as a little pawn so much that even his "revenge" is set up by Joker himself and will probably escalate to even more problems in the following issues. Jason lost by killing and playing right into the Joker's cards.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat but I am sayin that anyone killing the joker is cool. And plus, yeah I knew joker wanted him to do it. That was part of the bad assery
@@GuyWithAnAmazingHat yes your hat is amazing
Can we just appreciate how much of a great and underrated Jason Todd is?
I love this show! And the hype and geeking out on every episode you do is great! I would love to have my own show about this but you have more knowledge than myself. You make it seem as a mini series with each episode. I'm always waiting for the next episode you will do! Always great work!
Great wrap up! Thanks for the video! Excited for the next one!
He left out the “when was the last time you missed Barbara”. That’s gold.
I remember when Geoff Johns could actually write characters while respecting the work of other creators. this feels like at best an elseworlds story; I look forward to whatever unfolds in 3 Jokers being ignored by next year.
They purposely published it under DC Black Label so that they could see fan response before deciding to make it cannon or not
It was a pretty bad comic book imo, it prolly will be elseworld
But there are actually 3 jokers throughout the Batman comics tho lol
@@Shadowant25 Yeah, they prolly wil remake the thing for the current universe
Geoff Johns-king of unnecessary fanservice
Wow I cant believe you did this off the request! Thanks for you and the team just being awesome dude 🙌🏾
I'm just glad they used Bullock he is my favorite batman mythos good guy and he is so underused :(
I'm low key just enjoying the enthusiasm of this man.😍
I’ve been waiting for this... even tried to lazily wiki it
I love this series so far. I think this will become one of the seminole stories for people to read alongside Killing Joke, Dark Knight, Death in the Family, and Court of Owls.
Excellent video my guy !!! Very thorough , all the important details included , watching this review/recap is the next best thing to actually reading the issue !!! Yup !!!
Cringe
Loved the book, there's just one thing that bugs me. I mean, there's been years and years of joker stories and even in this book they acknowledge the fact that Joker's been there for a while and then all of a sudden he becomes sloppy and let's people see him in three different places at the same time? I mean I don't think the mobius chair was necessary for solving that one if the three Jokers are running loose and not caring much about being seen at the same time. I know that's not the point of the book, and it will probably have bigger reveals that will make me forget that point, but I still find it a little annoying.
After all these years, we finally can enjoy this masterpiece.
Amen! #ThreeJokers
Nah they are just rehashing Batman beyond return of the joker.
I dont read anything so normally I dont care about spoilers in videos like this but this is one thing I'm actually going to get and read, that's how much I love the joker
Dude i watched this episode for not even 4 minutes then stopped. I then went stright to Amazon. Bought it and loved it. Its so good. I love the writing its AWESOME!!! Cant wait for book 2 :D
Right when I finished the hulk video? THIS comes out? Perfect c;
Who would dislike this yo? Good storytelling, fantastic artwork, etc, etc.
Well, the story doesn't really make much sense so far... Hopefully that will change, though.
Keep up the great work you're doing a great job
ive been waiting for this thank you !!!!!
This explains the Joker's return in the Batman Beyond Comics real well.
*sigh* I love it when writers keep things consistent.
Cringe
The clown : Mark Hamill
The comedian: Phoenix
The criminal: Heath ledger
Love the break down Aris. Cant wait to see what the future issues bring. Batman vs the joker dragon commercial is the most fitting one i have seen on youtube lol.
The way the joker told Jason he made him his robin was insane. These guys are crazy on their writing you weren’t lying they aren’t playing
Jason Todd is my fav DC character ever!!!❤️ My poor Jason 😭
people hated him....
campkira Not anymore
He’s Joker, he’s joker, IM JOKER, is there any more Jokers that I need to know about!?
Finally we’ve been waiting for this for 2 years now
Chills... Literal chills...
11:36 This written dialogue from Joker is so good that I really want to hear Mark Hamil voice it.
Damn Jason just can never catch a break
Definitely happy I went back to read this I didn’t know it came out I was super late. But this is by far one of the greatest Batman issues I’ve read in years.
I’ve been waiting for this comic for so long
12:33 that's what you call revenge.
Didn't the mobius chair tell him the joker's identity?
Drake Grey, Bruce was smart enough to then follow up with a request for all three Jokers’ identities. Right?!
@Drake Grey flash is Only Faster than teleportation in a story where he needed help from a lot of people.
The Three Jokers simplified his personality and his character, great video.
I read this as quickly as it came out. It was awesome and crazy!
At 9:20 you say “and batgirl replies” when actually it’s still jason talking. Batgirl doesn’t speak in that panel
I really hope this whole "Three Jokers" thing will be realistic. No clones, or mind transfer or anything !
Definitely agree!
Yeah totally, I mean this did start happening when Batman sat in a chair and became a god. Totally realistic
so now joker is the new court of owl...
I'm going to assume this is sarcasm...
I just love the writing in this comic man
Loved this story can't wait for the next issue.
3rd one low key looks like willem defoe or at least reminds me of him. hope that they use that as the main face of joker
Finally a new vid to see aris again!
I perceived it a little differently.
The 2nd guy wasn’t worried about walking on the light, he was just worried the first guy would shut the light on him. Meaning he was willing to try the impossible but didn’t trust guy #1. Then Batman laughs with him and mid laughter kills him, deceiving him in a sense. He shut the light on the joker. Then the panel after immediately shows the light and it shutting off
THIS INTRO OF THIS COMIC SLAPS
According to my theory Joker always had a different version of himself. And I stucked to that concept. A psychotic character always tend to have a persona of their own.
I renamed the characters as The Thug, The Mastermind and The Wicked.
The titles on the Jokers are named differently but you get the gist of it.
The Clown - Jack Nicholson
The Comedian - Joaquin Phönix
The Criminal - Heath Ledger
The Creation - Mark Hamill
The Joke - Jared Leto
Or Cesear Romero for "The Clown", but that's me watching reruns from the 60s in the 80's
Underrated comment
Give Leto a break already
Wow that is really cool start!
this is why im subscribed. as a dc and marvel fan i like seeing great videos about them.
I would say this is cringe to say but:
He's Joker, he's Joker, YOUR Joker, I'M JOKER! Is there any other JOKERS I should know about!?!?
Stupid ass joke aside, this comic is amazing and since I'm a Joker fanboy I am loosing my shit.
Gary with joker makeup on: meow
Cringe
“Stupid ass *Joke* aside...
When in continuity would this take place? Or in WHAT continuity?
Good question. Best guess is after Joker War/Heavy Metal all calms down
conon and uncanon later... nothing new... this is more like try to bring older one together..
Depends on how well the book does. So it's both canon and not canon right now
Earth-Prime, thou a lot of stories are happening and its difficult to say "this comes first, that one comes after"
Man, that's what I love about following you on this channel, but I think because it comes to our ages being so close; we have so much in common when it comes to our love of comics.
That was TOO SMOOTH, AND WAY TOOO COOL!!
Now I want a movie! (animation or even live action)
