Sorta annoying how everything just returns to "normal" at the end of the series, I really enjoyed the "good guy joker" and the effect of the pills "wearing off" felt like a copout to the fact that the good guy Joker would've eventually solved all of Gotham's issues if he wasn't in his Joker state.

Yall forget that this is still the same, manipulative joker that rivals Batman in both hand to hand and in intelect, even if not at the same level; just sane. Of course Joker would be able to make people believe him, despite what he's done. After all, Harley's backstory most of the time is that the Joker just made Harley fall for him with nothing but words, especially in this continuity that takes from the BaS. It stretched a bit, but considering what continuity we're talking about, it's not that unbelievable.
There was one comic I saw (I never read it personally, I just saw it covered on a vid something like this) where Bruce travels into the past, some weird shit happens, and he ends up gunning down two people in an alley. He realizes he just shot his own parents, and realizes that the sobbing child was his younger self. His sanity shatters into pebbles, and he becomes the Joker.

This story is just strange honestly. Like I'm willing to suspend disbelief to a pretty far extent but there's just too many things I can't buy in this. Like the dude has a massive body count, yet suddenly is accepted as a normal guy because he took "normal pills". Accepted enough to be elected a politician? (ok well maybe) but this isn't happening in some other city in America, it's happening in THE city he terrorized and tortured people in dressed as an insane clown. Even if we're supposed to look at it through a symbolic lens, it's still just too absurd. Like maybe with a different villain like Two Face or Penguin it would work. But the Joker? Can't buy it.

Trump got elected and could well get elected again, despite plenty of evidence to demonstrate his monstrous behaviour (i.e. "grab em' by the..." clip). That guy didn't even take "normal pills" and wipe his make-up off. Women voted for him, black people, Latinx folk... You never know the kind of person people are willing to trust when they're desperate, no matter the severity of their crimes, for better - as in this fictional case - or for worse - as in Trump's. Also I think the clip of Batman forcing said "normal pills" down Joker's throat is supposed to do a lot of the legwork vis-a-vis Gothamites re-evaluating their understanding of good and bad in the city, and who perpetuates it vs. who perpetrates it. The one thing the working class (should) hate is a fascist. Batman filmed beating down on an unarmed man who's already restrained whilst the cops watch on - it's a video of essentially police brutality. Joker was many things: a murderer, lunatic, paradoxically idealistic and nihilistic at the same time, a criminal, an abuser, a terrorist, but he wasn't exactly a fascist. I don't think Batman is a fascist in the normal continuity of the comics, but he looks like one here, at the start.
These video clips are getting better and better. Please never stop I’m counting on it
Man's mic quality from two weeks ago to now is night and day
A lot of people are talking about how they didn’t like that the story was skewed in Joker’s favour, making Bruce look like the villain. But I think it’s shown in the story that this version of Batman isn’t as noble as others because Jason simply left him instead of being killed, whereas normally he would be killed believing in the cause and not forgive Batman for essentially letting the Joker get away with it. Him running away shows that Batman could’ve possibly been unhinged before the events of this story
Might be me but this story reads like a fever dream
It seemed good but hapving him beat batman in a fair fight made no sence the joker isnt known for being a phisical fighter and yet it has him beat batman!

Batman just had to deal with the loss of a loved one, an entire fight with his whole rogues gallery, and an injury from having entire buildings fall on him. Meanwhile, we have Jack Napier, in peak condition, and had memories of Joker confronting Batman on multiple occasions. He knows Batman's moves and since they're slower (due to Batman's previous encounters) he is able to counter much more effectively. This was a battle of alignment. Everything that has happened led up to this moment. Joker won that fight, and Batman lost.

This is probably my best batman timeline I've ever seen/read.
Ultimately, there always has been a limit of what Batman could do for Gotham. Political reformation was the logical next step. However, Batman was absolutely necessary in the beginning as anyone who would have been willing to step-up to take on the corruption, would have been destroyed by the numerous corrupt elements in Gotham. It would be Batman's protection against these elements which would allow the political reformists to ultimately last long enough to have some effect.
Wow that was awesome
But the joker was never insane he suffers from super-sanity or hyper-sanity he’s so sane that he seems insane to everyone around him
I imagine in a different realm, a variant of The-Joker, his broken mind finally is fully fixed, and he decides to be a carpenter.
Tbh, this alternate universe story by Sean Murphy is imo really interesting and might actually be one of my favorites. I love seeing references to other batman titles, look at the batmobiles or joker's cell (that panel is so cool). I also really love the art. I still follow the series to this day, just a few days ago another comic is added to this Murphyverse, "Batman: White Knight Presents - Generation Joker". It might not be perfect but imo this series is one of the most interesting and fun alternate universe story from the black label. Tbh, knowing that this is an Au, it made me feel more invested on the characters' well-being cause the writer can kill a character and make actual impact, like ngl I did become sad when one of the characters died. Seeing the characters age is also like a bonus cause finally they're not stuck on a certain age.

Same here, easily my favorite "What if? / Spin Of" comic. This would be amazing as a movie.
I hope this becomes a movie in the DCU or the Robert Pattinson Batman universe.
Don't like it, severely nerfed the bat to the point of absurdity. Character acts so out of character it's barely the same character, along with some retconning like Jason Todd not dying to humanize Napir. Feels like the "Maleficient" or "Cruella" of batman stories.
I thought White Knight was when Joker "killed" Batman and became sane
White Knight is one of the best Batman comics of all time. Up there with The Dark Knight Returns. Sean Murphy really did an amazing work.
This is not what I expected
To be honest, I've always questioned Batman's methods. To me, it always seemed like he was majorly influenced by Gotham's dark history. I always wondered how Batman would have been if he became a true hero instead of some form of anti-hero. What would happen if he found a way to remove the evil that is at the root of Gotham City. What if Gotham became something like Metropolis? That bright, shiny city that good people are attracted to.

The point of the Batman was to show that hope was possible. The city was politically corrupt and no one believed in it enough to fight for it. Batman was created to give the people hope to change their own city.

Batman, The Joker (Sane Napier) and Harleen Quinzel vs (Neo Joker) Harley Quinn.
The Art and story is amazing, I just really wish Napier Stayed as himself, I feel really bad for him
Considering that this is an alternate DC universe, it’s a possibility that this could happen
Idk what your talking about Alfred was just napping.
Was very surprised to see that uninjured Joker/Napier was able to best injured Batman/Bruce on a 1v1. Though I'd guess that if Batman wasn't injured he probably would've won.
This came first before 3 jokers.. I wonder if 3 jokers got inspiration from the 2 harley quinns

This a unique story for Batman and the Joker. It give both of them so much character development for a what if story. Is this canon to the main comic book universe?
Please make this a animated movie
This story is great, but only if you are talking about one of the integrations where the joker never destroyed cities or killed thousands. Notice that batgirl can walk, no red hood, this is obviously one of less violent jokers.

The second one was a bank teller with serious mental issues, whom Joker mistook for Harley. She decided to become Harley after that, while Harleen did jail time and then just stayed in the background. (She's the one who told Batman where to find Jason and the Joker, and in a conversation at the end, it's revealed that she most likely developed the pills that temporarily cured the Joker.)

So Joker goes from full villain to corrupt politician? I think you need to change your title bud, cause he ain’t even close to being a “good guy” unless you think brainwashing (taking away their free will) villains to make them cause problems for you to look better is a good thing, which is a helluva hot take. Sorry, but this just comes off as shitty fan fiction to me, since we just conveniently ignore other issues. Actually, now that I think about it, if they would’ve shown the court of owls supporting joker, it could’ve made it work, since they’ve been thwarting Batman’s attempts to make the city better from the inside besides the main villains. I could see them do it out of spite, just because they hate batman and there’s more benefits than cons.
