Yes, Batman's backstory have been a solid one for a long time. It fits the order he seeks to bring, his opposite should have at best a multiple choice one just to show his chaotic existance. Unless the finale shows this might not have been the "real Joker" it is a bad idea.

I really dig the idea of a separate personality that you can consciously draw out to help you when you need it. It reminds me of a mini-documentary I watched about the personas that professional fighters call on in the ring. The average person doesn't have it in them to casually beat someone bloody into unconsciousness, sometimes fighters disassociate themselves with the person they are everyday vs the person they have to be, often accepting the nicknames or ring names as a separate person. You might not be the strongest, the fastest, the toughest mofo walking, but that guy wearing your skin when you step in the ring is, he's got this. I think they used Mike Tyson as an example, can't remember, but it was like Mike Tyson is just a man, but Iron Mike...woe be to the man who has to face Iron Mike, the baddest man on the planet.

Honestly the Joker needs to go back to being just a crazy guy who makes fucked up jokes (that kills a bunch of people) and commits crimes because he thinks they're funny. I'm tired of the "Super Joker" we've been having in comics for years now. He's literally just a crazy guy

To everyone who didn't read the book. Daniel isn't the Jokers actual father, he speaking metophrically. And even in the issue Daniel finds out that The Joker night have even tricked him in order to learn from him. And people acting upset that they made someone his dad are missing the actual details.

I have to agree, I don't hate the three jokers idea but this feels just more inline with the kind of man the Joker is the guy that can switch between three different modes the clown that who may let you off the hook if the mood strikes him. The monster that is going to take its time plucking your limbs off or making you suffer in the most sadistic way possible. Finally The Devil generally reserved for the only other man capable of surviving it.
The writing wasn’t too and, but The Joker does NOT need an origin! He works better mysterious .
Ya know, I always really liked how joker was pretty much a boogeyman in a way. Almost too unhuman to be human. His past being such a mystery especially in endgame. But this, this humanizes him and kills his image for me. But that’s just me.

Don't let the explanation leave you out there are a lot of things being left out in these videos specifically. I would check out the book and run directly. Joker tricked Daniel. That fear was a ploy. The Future Story The Joker showed he always could have beaten Batman he was holding back. At the beginning of the last issue we saw that The Joker was physically and supernaturally split into 3 because of Batman 135, when Bruce went after Red Mask in the time paradox.

I absolutely love Joker stories. I love the Batman and Joker stories, man. It is always good to have something different. Something different like the villains winning or a hero dying or different things like that to build up drama and suspense and actually draw people in. However, with Joker stories, Joker actually wins if you look at it. Joker is not as simple as other villains. Other villains, they are relatively simple, and they have simple goals, such as conquering the world or the universe, killing a certain hero, or robbing a bank. Those are relatively simple goals. And with those goals, those villains will fail if the villains stop them or capture them or whatever. With Joker, yes Joker might do some wild and crazy things from time to time like killing a bunch or people with guns or joker toxin, or robbing a bank, or even poisoning the water supply, things like tha. However, despite all of those plans that Joker makes, his goal is not really to achieve any of them. Joker's only goal is to mess with Batman. Joker will only do things to get Baman's attention and draw Batman to him. Joker's only goal is to mess with Batman. Joker doesn't want money. Joker doesn't want Batman dead. Joker loves the cat and mouse game that he and Batman play. Joker's only real goal is to mess with Batman. Just like in Batman Death of the Family comics or the comics where Joker seemingly cut off the faces of the Bat-Family and he asked Batman why doesn't Batman kill him and after that he basically explains that as long as he is alive he is winning. And with everything that he does, poisoning people, killing people, stealing things, whatever, it really doesn't matter if Batman stops him and captures him and throws him in jail/prison, because as long as he gets Batman's attention and Batman is focused on him and he just gets to mess with Batman, then he is achieving his goal. So he is succeeding, which means he is winning. Joker is just getting what he wants all of that time, so really Joker wins. That is what I really like about Joker stories because they are different from other villain stories. Joker is a villain who *never* loses.

This is why I find this video and origin story to be alright in my book. Because it not only explains how Joker switches between his personas, but also erases whatever past he may have had.
The door scene reminds me of the mask how they don't take him seriously until he starts killing everyone
I wouldn't say he trained the joker to be the joker as some are saying. I'd say he gave the Joker tools to make him better. I like this idea.
It's interesting that they still subtley try to incorporate the Pale Man idea into his backstory. Something they borrowed from IT. It doesn't really make sense for Joker origin. But there was potential there for something.
With this, another "reboot" of Joker's origin story, I'm reminded of an infamous quote from the OG Joker origin story: The Killing Joke. "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"
@sakomanlee
3 ай бұрын
It is a great quote; and, it was a phenomenal idea. I just wish (almost) every writer since hadn't decided that it meant they could create whatever stupid origin they wanted and there would be no conflict. It was an insight into his character. It wasn't an invite to write any backstory the author thought might be neat.
Absolutely a must have for the collection.
This evil doctor's statement that we can "be whatever we want" comes across a lot like that cartoon "Monster".

NGL this story actually pretty 🔥
I had to watch this Joker meeting his father Is a thing to watch
The Joker is 6'5" & 191lbs in canon; J's length, reach, unpredictable combat style, inhuman pain tolerance, & hving Batman as his sparring partner are what makes The Joker so formidable at H2H CQC. The Joker could kill or at least defeat more than half of the DC Universe in H2H CQC. Joker is very underrated at combat.
I love this. I heard about Batman The Knight and read it for myself. I don’t know what to read following that if I get the name of this coming series I can read it now. I love Batman, and comics in general but I’ve always found it hard to read anything besides one shots, miniseries, or self contained stories like DCeased. It is very difficult because starting to read any comic I like then they site other comics/events, and managing chronology is hard on my own. Thats why I read manga any stories I’m into are self contained, and while they might have sequels or retcon certain things it’s still single characters contained to a single story unlike comics where other characters with their own long running series and lore crossover with one another. That’s why I wish I knew about DC Rebirth/New 52 when they relaunched making it more friendly for new readers I would’ve started reading then but “sigh” it’s too late.
Daniel literally said hey i made a such a good super hero i needed to make a villain for him so he doesn't get bored
One of the better and more enjoyable origin stories of the Joker as well as Batman.
Only in the comics,can cops get in trouble from with video evidence...

@JiotheYasuke no. we don't. the way this character works is much better off when his background is left unclear. On top of that, the comics have relied way to heavily on his character the past couple years and have taken away much of the mystique of character, he's much better left as an unknown force of chaos. It's also taken away in my opinion from the mainline comic by overusing him and not letting other rogues have more drawn out and elaborate stories such as Mr Freeze and Two-Face etc.
This guy would be super handy for me. Pick and choose when my did happens? Awesome.
Sounds like an interesting story.
...rememeber that time he told Harley quin about his father. and how he was beaten? or given scars?
Joker: would you laugh with me?, I'd laugh with me, I'd laugh with me hard..so hard
Add on to a continued already laid out origins story. Enhance and play up upon.

the guaranteed higher power structure is called virtue
So is this option c of the multiple choice origin?
