@@DISGUYR8HERE If we're taking Yandere at its origins, it's someone violently jealous towards their romantic partner. If we take that definition, then it's arguable that Joker is a reverse yandere because he's violently jealous towards his enemy.
With all the craziness going on in DC, a quiet story where neither the world, nor the multiverse, nor even Gotham City is in peril is refreshing. Just three members of the Bat Family, three clowns, and a story about forgiveness and moving on. That moment Batman forgave Joe Chill and held his hand? May go down in Bat history like holding Jason’s body, the bat through the window, Bane breaking the Bat, etc.
That’s def one of the things that’s been rly annoying me is when every DC comics storyline revolves around some major “end of the world” type stuff. Like it needs to be balanced with more grounded storylines
The crazy thing is, is while Barbara was lashing out on Jason bout killing the Clown Joker, He says” When was the last time you missed barbara?” Because she is considered the most accurate throwing batarangs in bat family.
Imagine this in an animated movie, it would fit great in the “under the red hood” universe and use the original actors and animation. They need to make this happen
Maybe the Joker keeps modifying the formula frequently so Batman has to constantly make new antidotes for the Venom. It seems something the Joker would do.
It's always changing. The stuff he mixes up in a janitor's closet is going to be of a different make than what he'd acquire from a lab. And he CAN make it with cleaning products. He's done it before
The joker toxin isn’t a virus or bacteria, it’s a chemical compound. It’s impossible to inoculate against toxic chemicals. You can build a tolerance, taking minuscule amounts over extended periods… But… I don’t imagine that would be healthy lol. Bruce would never compel the people of Gotham to dose themselves with the J Toxin. That would be an amazing story though… especially if Joker tampered with it and transformed most of Gotham into Jokers… THAT WOULD BE DOOOPPPEEEEEE
I think this story had a bit of Joker's envy towards Joe Chill, where he's never been the number one pain in this life, and wanted that spot for himself. But yeah, it's a story of healing for the Bat family, not a villain story for the Joker
"He used the world's worst tape so it falls to the ground" C'mon Jason, all the gadgets you have and you can't make your own TAPE? If Batman made a dam- shark repellant, how come you can't make a TAPE? Still love Red Hood though XD
The only thing about this Story that kinda kills it is Batman knowing the Joker's identity at the end and isn't able to mention it to protect the Joker's wife and son, it's always been one of the biggest mysteries for Batman to work out the identity of the Joker, especially after the end of Death of the Family where Bruce was bluffing about knowing that and Joker killing himself (or trying to) rather than learning the truth - after all, Joker says "If I'm going to have an origin story, I'd prefer it be multiple choice," which perfectly captures just how even his own identity isn't important to him, almost like it's his Kryptonite - having Batman knowing this name, but being legally unable to mention it just feels like it's one step away from the revelation to the greatest unknown in comic book history, and like the mysteries of Pulp Fiction and Groundhog Day, maybe it's better that we never know.
Can't agree at all that that aspect "kinda kills it" at all. I can SEE where you're coming from but I would say that this story is just a single interpretation of the killing joke continuation.
It's get more fucked up when you remember that Bruce also canonically told the Joker his identity shortly after he captured him for the first time as well. Revealed in Death of the Family, where Leatherface Joker (Seriously what in fucking hell DC?) had the murderous dinner party with the Batfam.
Dude, The entire monologue from 35:45 to 37:26, has now been cemented in my mind as Jokers greatest plot. Its extra, its complicated, its obsessive, and it encapsulates the Joker perfectly, truly one of the greatest villain moments ever written.
The only joker who really lost was the criminal joker. Clown joker got his wish to drive Red Hood into killing him and comedian joker got to become Batman’s #1 after making him forgive Joe Chills; whereas, criminal joker was never able to pull off his plan to make Joe a joker or kill Batman and Joe after that failed.
I disagree, he doesn't have the right to kill the Joker, to me it's a failure of the justice system that allows the Joker to escape. I think Jason killing a man who's tied up in a chair should never be condoned because it sets a standard that certain individuals have the right to determine whether someone deserves to live, rather than society making that choice.
@@kyraptor2521 exactly, it's part of what makes the moral dilemma, the Justice system is what Batman stands behind. It routinely fails the people, but to abandon it is to take the same side as the Joker.
A Joker. Jason killed *A* Joker. And probably not the one who beat him with a crowbar. The entire plan was to bump off the Criminal and the Clown.

Wait, so...if Batman already knew The Joker's true identity already a week after they first met, then why would he ask the Mobius Chair what is Joker's true identity?

I was thinking it was to test the chair ( asking it something he already knew the answer to) but that just seems like a lazy writing. Have I missed something ?
I just got the Hardcover today and read it, Here's what I think about your question and this is just my opinion not fact but, I think Batman asked the Chair to 100% confirm his suspicions, but the chair gave him an answer he didn't expect which was that there were 3 Jokers. We have to also remember that Batman in this Comic is probably in his late 30's or early 40's, in the continuity which is usually updated to modern standards Batman has only known Joker for 20 years not 77 years, yes he's met all these Jokers over the Years but in our time we've known Batman and Joker for 77 Years, Batman in Comics has only known Joker for 20 years at the most, he never knew there were three until he asked the mobius chair, but that doesn't rule out that he hasn't at least figured out ONE Joker's Identity, and asked the chair to confirm his suspicions.

Sure. How do we know this was the right Joker? Later the Comedian claims he did it. If true, Jason shot the wrong man, breaking his promise to Batman for nothing. If I was the Comedian, I would totally set the Clown up for that. It's a pretty funny joke.

We could of had an out of control Jason Todd losing his mind and becoming joker, alll while fighting the jokerization. Taking/searching nonstop antidotes like batman did in prior stories.
Hm also is the joker a good martial artist how can hebatman get scars from the joker cant batman just also use prep and use the same underhanded tricks like fight fire with fire
I've always thought that would be a fitting way for the Joker to finally die. He wouldn't get the last laugh, and he would die knowing he failed to break Batman's moral code.
@@DoratTheKiller ngl it would be a great comic, the joker shot to near death by a nobody and watching the jokers mind as he goes through memories and thinks about all the ways it could have ended and the joker dies with a frown and a sense of loss. And if it was the real world the guy that shot him will be kept anonymous and will get a high five from the police, take an easy W in a self defence open carry case even in New York and spend the rest of his life in whiteness protection in Florida, Iowa, Denver or Arizona hiding from the joker gang Of course in the DC universe he’d be sent to Arkham and forced to join the suicide squad or something the poor bastard
@@nathansteele4358 Well the idea of J is he is the rising chaos that shadows the order. The existence of Batman who uses fear to better the world makes a unfearing evil that laughs at it's face for trying. The rebel against The fear, The Laughter against The Stoic, The chaos against The Order. Roles may change and conflicts may occur else where or in another time but a battle against opposites with only 1 remaining alive is an old tale. If the hero falls the villan will make the status quo and vice versa. As long as Batman exist and as long as Arkham exist, as they are now, the Joker will exist.
I think the story perfectly sets up what and who joker is. The idea is that the joker is a manifestation of chaos, he's unpredictable, insane, and he can be anyone. The thing that is most interesting about joker is that we know so little even though we see so much. Once you give him a true identity it takes away from his "chaos" because then we can start questioning why he does what he does and come to reasonable conclusions. With the joker having no identity, we are always left guessing, its chaotic. I think he kills the other jokers because they still have a sense of what they wanna be and we can see it, one wants to become an image a symbol, the other wants to just cause pain. The third and final one however, we dont know what he wants which brings us back to the fact that he IS chaos, there is no meaning or reason behind him.
the writing abused a little with barbara being all female power, specially over Jason who seemed just like an angry confused little boy (he usually isn't really like that). Other than that, it's a pretty decent comic book. Same level of Black Mirror, imo. Black Labels I still prefer Azzarello & Bermejo Comic Books, they're the best.
Love the artwork of this comic. I would love to see Barbara, Jason, Dick, Tim and Stephanie all come to life in live action. I'm afraid we're never gonna get to see it done right though. Sure, we have a Batgirl movie on the way, but they chose to cast an actress that looks nothing like Barbara Gordon, so she really isn't coming to life. It's just a chick in Batgirl cosplay.
I think this too, personally I also like to think the criminals Joker is actually the joker we saw from the joker movie as he does seem to be older than the two other ones as well as he seems to be in pain when he laughs. He laughed after Jason mentioned killing his comrade and it could be that it was involuntary compulsion from grief/anger. The comedian is obviously the origin from the killing joke as he had a wife that was expecting in his backstory.
@@johnpodziewski4219 Yeah I also think that he's the OG one, later taking someone older and putting his place during some moments of the classic era while he plans some big plan to attack Batman, like for example The Killing Joke with James and Barbara
I love the comedian the crime joker and the clown joker amazing as well but they seem a bit more calm than the comedian I truly love to see the amazing voice acting that you do on all your characters thank you
This story is so bad it literally brought nothing to the table besides "batman knowing who the joker is all along" no point for three jokers for that conclusion. It could have been explained as bat mite just fucken around and pushed batman's limits but no1 is creative I guess
This was never meant to be a joker story, he's involved to be the catalyst for Batmans pain. This is a story that highlights the difference between doing the right thing and landing somewhere in that grey area. There's so much rich character development here and I was personally very pleased to see red hood shoot and kill the joker. Jason said he'd do it and he did and nothing was going to stop him. He has to walk that path not because he wants to but because he has to know where it ends and if redemption can be found after walking such a bloody path. If Batman can forgive joe chill then there may be some hope for Jason someday. It's a brilliant story.
Nope, sorta. Criminal: Heath Ledger, ok. Clown: Cesar Romero. Comedian: Jack Nicholson. Joke: Jared Leto. Tragedy (The Opposite of Comedy): Joaquin Phoenix. THE Joker? There's only ever been ONE: Mark Hamill!
Man your amazing at your voice overs and the way you tell the story it captivated me! Joker is my favourite of all! I loved how he done all of that just to be Batman’s greatest pain lol
There is one thing I don't understand: If Batman has known Jokers Identity since their first encounter, why did he ask the Mobius Chair about his Identity?
Heath Ledger was the criminal, Mark Hamil was the clown, and Jack Nicholson was the comedian. You obviously don’t know anything about the three jokers.
@@Theendisnearasuouknowit I dunno...Hamill and Nicholson seem to be playing the same Joker. Sure, the TAS version was sillier like the Clown, but then there's the Arkham Asylum Joker. Free of the restraints of Saturday morning cartoons, he goes wild.
What makes NO sense is that The Three Jokers Story acknowledges the Killing Joke Origin, in which Batman CLEARLY states "All these years and still DON'T know him" "I don't know him, anymore than he knows me" but then Batman says he knew who Joker was a week after he showed up. Not only is this story Paradoxical or Circular, but its is completely contradictive of its own exposition. Of course the simple fact that there are 3 Jokers makes absolutely no sense in of itself, especially if you want to take into consideration Harley Quinn or Dionisis. This "story" was nothing but marketing hype and BAD writing. There are some things that DC really doesn't need to follow Marvel's (Disney's) lead on and this type of "writing" is a HUGE one.
Wiat a minute. Doesnt this happen AFTER the Darkseid war? Where batman asks the chair for the identity of the joker? And then torture Joe Chill who doesnt regret murdering Thomas and Martha?
@@Theendisnearasuouknowit Nonsense. The Comedian is the boring one. It's just the same mindless violence out of him. Give me a cunning planner or a maniac with razor cards and twisted logic any day over Mr. Cuts-His-Own-Face-Off.
this is one of the darkest comic books I've ever read and Jason Todd with Barbara that's just bruh and whereas dick in this story and this just might be dark enough for the dark multiverse
Good Lord I hated Barbara in this story she is just annoying 🙄 Like girl are you really whining about him killing one of the Joker's!? He should've done worst
I 100% agree with you. It seems like there has to be a continuation because they just leave it with a unknown note where probably Jason will mention the note accidentally and Barbara will mention she never got a note. Also don’t forget this is his second failed attempt to tell her about his feelings. Third time is the charm!
...why did a 5/10 three part series take 4 years...dear god. And suggesting the Jokers past from The Killing Joke with a LAST PAGE retcon that says his wife secretly fled when there was NO allusion to that ANYWHERE before this vs keeping it multiple choice? 5/10. The punchline. Wasn’t funny, or good.
i dont like there being 3 jokers, ive thought this since batman realized this. Joker should really not have a origin or explanation. He should also be chaotic and switching his actions and (not drastically) personality. Splitting these chaotic different actions by joker between different jokers is dumb, the 3 jokers also gives an explanation to joker, and an origin
Hm. Red hood with a joker smile (21:50) is actually way more menacing than the usual - and a incredibly cool design considering why Jason uses the moniker.
Love your voice, you do an amazing Joker, the laugh is perfect who are you? And why don't you voice the animation you're better than most of the actors they have. Absolutely love your series just found out about it recently still catching up all of your videos are excellent thanks it's a lot of fun
the joker takes himself like such a big emotional deal but after so many years if i were batman i would just be on my phone while taking him to prison. The only two things that joker did was attacking jason and barbara but they are practicly emotionaly fine so i would not give a fuck about his intentions anymore and i know he just do crazy things to be noticed by batman and the world but i would just tell him "you are boring now" breaking his spirit
@@stonemims159 joker has batman in such a big gey pedestal that it would brake his spirit and he would go into depression, also yeah he could try something horrible but at that point if jason finds him first and kills batman would just forgive him since he is always a son to him, if is barbara she would just send him to arkham like any other robin
Joker's motivation here kinda reminds me of Gotham, where Jeremiah tried to recreate the Wayne murders with Jim and Lee because he can't stand the thought that a random thug is much more important to Bruce's origin story than he is
This story sucks for what it's supposed to be. A mystery! Who are these mysterious new Jokers? What do they have planned? In the end, it was nothing...but hey, look, Bruce Wayne turned this around with Joe Chill. That's worth an issue.
So Joker's whole plan was to make batman basically forgive Chill so that the thing that pisses him off the most is Joker? Man thats extra

@@DoratTheKiller ngl it would be a great comic, the joker shot to near death by a nobody and watching the jokers mind as he goes through memories and thinks about all the ways it could have ended and the joker dies with a frown and a sense of loss.
And if it was the real world the guy that shot him will be kept anonymous and will get a high five from the police, take an easy W in a self defence open carry case even in New York and spend the rest of his life in whiteness protection in Florida, Iowa, Denver or Arizona hiding from the joker gang
Of course in the DC universe he’d be sent to Arkham and forced to join the suicide squad or something the poor bastard
@@nathansteele4358 Well the idea of J is he is the rising chaos that shadows the order.
The existence of Batman who uses fear to better the world makes a unfearing evil that laughs at it's face for trying.
The rebel against The fear, The Laughter against The Stoic, The chaos against The Order.
Roles may change and conflicts may occur else where or in another time but a battle against opposites with only 1 remaining alive is an old tale. If the hero falls the villan will make the status quo and vice versa.
As long as Batman exist and as long as Arkham exist, as they are now, the Joker will exist.
Knowing the Joker's identity from the first week doesn't mesh very well with him asking the chair who the Joker is.
he did it because he wanted to know if the morbius chair also know it
tbf he also asked the chair who killed his parents
Leave it to Geoff Johns to make Jason Todd stop killing, even if just temporarily.
I think the story perfectly sets up what and who joker is. The idea is that the joker is a manifestation of chaos, he's unpredictable, insane, and he can be anyone. The thing that is most interesting about joker is that we know so little even though we see so much. Once you give him a true identity it takes away from his "chaos" because then we can start questioning why he does what he does and come to reasonable conclusions. With the joker having no identity, we are always left guessing, its chaotic. I think he kills the other jokers because they still have a sense of what they wanna be and we can see it, one wants to become an image a symbol, the other wants to just cause pain. The third and final one however, we dont know what he wants which brings us back to the fact that he IS chaos, there is no meaning or reason behind him.
Love your channel Benny! Keep it up! Favorite comic right here
22:13 Jason really didn't make his helmet strong enough to withstand a crowbar? You'd think a bitch would learn-
the writing abused a little with barbara being all female power, specially over Jason who seemed just like an angry confused little boy (he usually isn't really like that). Other than that, it's a pretty decent comic book. Same level of Black Mirror, imo.
Black Labels I still prefer Azzarello & Bermejo Comic Books, they're the best.
Love the artwork of this comic. I would love to see Barbara, Jason, Dick, Tim and Stephanie all come to life in live action. I'm afraid we're never gonna get to see it done right though. Sure, we have a Batgirl movie on the way, but they chose to cast an actress that looks nothing like Barbara Gordon, so she really isn't coming to life. It's just a chick in Batgirl cosplay.
Got here just in time.
I started crying when Bruce Wayne read the letters from the man that kill his parents.
The clues tell me the Criminal Joker is the original. The clown he created then took over
Yeah, even his appearance is a dead giveaway that he's the original
I think it was the comedian cause he’s the one with the origin story. He prolly just picked an older man
The older man is the original joker because there needs to be many joker just like cinema. Every joker define a decade
I think this too, personally I also like to think the criminals Joker is actually the joker we saw from the joker movie as he does seem to be older than the two other ones as well as he seems to be in pain when he laughs. He laughed after Jason mentioned killing his comrade and it could be that it was involuntary compulsion from grief/anger. The comedian is obviously the origin from the killing joke as he had a wife that was expecting in his backstory.
@@johnpodziewski4219 Yeah I also think that he's the OG one, later taking someone older and putting his place during some moments of the classic era while he plans some big plan to attack Batman, like for example The Killing Joke with James and Barbara
Red Hood was right to kill Joker
I really like this story because of the way it’s expressed. I know people don’t like this story but I do a lot.
I love the comedian the crime joker and the clown joker amazing as well but they seem a bit more calm than the comedian I truly love to see the amazing voice acting that you do on all your characters thank you
This story is so bad it literally brought nothing to the table besides "batman knowing who the joker is all along" no point for three jokers for that conclusion. It could have been explained as bat mite just fucken around and pushed batman's limits but no1 is creative I guess
Plus I kinda feel like the Jason Barbara thing is just here to act like a light version of shock value
This was never meant to be a joker story, he's involved to be the catalyst for Batmans pain. This is a story that highlights the difference between doing the right thing and landing somewhere in that grey area. There's so much rich character development here and I was personally very pleased to see red hood shoot and kill the joker. Jason said he'd do it and he did and nothing was going to stop him. He has to walk that path not because he wants to but because he has to know where it ends and if redemption can be found after walking such a bloody path. If Batman can forgive joe chill then there may be some hope for Jason someday. It's a brilliant story.
So these jokers are...
Criminal: Heath Ledger
Clown: Mark Hamill
Comedian: Mark Hamill
Nope, sorta.
Criminal: Heath Ledger, ok.
Clown: Cesar Romero.
Comedian: Jack Nicholson.
Joke: Jared Leto.
Tragedy (The Opposite of Comedy): Joaquin Phoenix.
THE Joker? There's only ever been ONE: Mark Hamill!
Seriously how has anyone who has seen bruce even just shirtless not realized he's batman
Normal people don't have that many scars
There needs to be an Arkham Game with this storyline, it reminds me alot of the mood of Arkham Knight
Batman saving joe chill will always hit different
Ahhh a great ending......but they brought something back in me the question something I didn’t want come back the identity of the joker 🃏.
If his name isn’t important why’d you ask the that stupid chair what it was?
Man your amazing at your voice overs and the way you tell the story it captivated me!
Joker is my favourite of all! I loved how he done all of that just to be Batman’s greatest pain lol
There is one thing I don't understand:
If Batman has known Jokers Identity since their first encounter, why did he ask the Mobius Chair about his Identity?
In terms of live action jokers, Jack Nicholson is the criminal, Cesar Romero is the comedian, and Heath Ledger is the clown
Heath Ledger was the criminal, Mark Hamil was the clown, and Jack Nicholson was the comedian. You obviously don’t know anything about the three jokers.
@@Theendisnearasuouknowit I dunno...Hamill and Nicholson seem to be playing the same Joker. Sure, the TAS version was sillier like the Clown, but then there's the Arkham Asylum Joker. Free of the restraints of Saturday morning cartoons, he goes wild.
What makes NO sense is that The Three Jokers Story acknowledges the Killing Joke Origin, in which Batman CLEARLY states "All these years and still DON'T know him" "I don't know him, anymore than he knows me" but then Batman says he knew who Joker was a week after he showed up. Not only is this story Paradoxical or Circular, but its is completely contradictive of its own exposition. Of course the simple fact that there are 3 Jokers makes absolutely no sense in of itself, especially if you want to take into consideration Harley Quinn or Dionisis.
This "story" was nothing but marketing hype and BAD writing. There are some things that DC really doesn't need to follow Marvel's (Disney's) lead on and this type of "writing" is a HUGE one.
man I really hope we get more Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon romance story. Dick and Starfire are already great together.
Rest in paradise 😢
Wiat a minute. Doesnt this happen AFTER the Darkseid war? Where batman asks the chair for the identity of the joker? And then torture Joe Chill who doesnt regret murdering Thomas and Martha?
biggest letdown since punchline. Only good side is the GOAT Jason Todd and Batgirl hooked up. My ship is real at least for one comic :(
You will be missed old friend Rest in piece
The criminal joker was the most interesting joker
He was a little boring though
@@Theendisnearasuouknowit Nonsense. The Comedian is the boring one. It's just the same mindless violence out of him. Give me a cunning planner or a maniac with razor cards and twisted logic any day over Mr. Cuts-His-Own-Face-Off.
Yes, but the Clown was the most fun. I miss the razor playing cards and explosive chattering teeth.
I really like how built up into a full joker laugh when he started saying louder and louder and then broke down into a joker laugh
this is one of the darkest comic books I've ever read and Jason Todd with Barbara that's just bruh and whereas dick in this story and this just might be dark enough for the dark multiverse
It was a good story and I enjoyed the twist at the end but considering the hype they created for this it felt rather underwhelming
Good Lord I hated Barbara in this story she is just annoying 🙄 Like girl are you really whining about him killing one of the Joker's!? He should've done worst
Jason and Barbara! This could be such a good storyline. Maybe she is the one who can fix him? I really want this to happennn
I 100% agree with you. It seems like there has to be a continuation because they just leave it with a unknown note where probably Jason will mention the note accidentally and Barbara will mention she never got a note. Also don’t forget this is his second failed attempt to tell her about his feelings. Third time is the charm!
...why did a 5/10 three part series take 4 years...dear god. And suggesting the Jokers past from The Killing Joke with a LAST PAGE retcon that says his wife secretly fled when there was NO allusion to that ANYWHERE before this vs keeping it multiple choice?
5/10. The punchline. Wasn’t funny, or good.
i dont like there being 3 jokers, ive thought this since batman realized this. Joker should really not have a origin or explanation. He should also be chaotic and switching his actions and (not drastically) personality. Splitting these chaotic different actions by joker between different jokers is dumb, the 3 jokers also gives an explanation to joker, and an origin
I have been watching your videos for 6 years now and i love it more and more! Keep it up man!
6 years...?? Tf
Feel like this story was all hype and no substance.
Art was great though, Jason Fabok for the win.
Jason should've used Flex Tape.
Their is actually a new joker phil swifi
So is this following up on when the Mobius chair told Bruce there are 3 Jokers?
Benny Thank you ❤
Goddamn Jason and his terrible tape
Thanks Comicstorian! I appreciate the Hell out of all your content.👏🏻🤟🏼
R.I.P bro. 🕊️❤️
Ik your looking down on all us giving strength to be up there with you rip ❤
Really wish they made this into an animated movie, I love the story, poor Jason though, bro is always suffering and getting tortured by the Joker 🥲😭
Hm. Red hood with a joker smile (21:50) is actually way more menacing than the usual - and a incredibly cool design considering why Jason uses the moniker.
Can you do the young justice TV series comic series please
preach
Rip
I would love to narrate this!
Please do, I can't stand Benny but is the only reliable source.
@@kennylunacy Well, there is Variant Comics...but unless someone else comes in and agrees with you, I got you.
@@attakrus narrate it
Love your voice, you do an amazing Joker, the laugh is perfect who are you? And why don't you voice the animation you're better than most of the actors they have. Absolutely love your series just found out about it recently still catching up all of your videos are excellent thanks it's a lot of fun
Agreed this was a let down of sorts.
Your Joker sounds like Scooby, bro
The clown and the comedian?
Repetitive and redundant
he must have used the worlds worst tape
3 jokers. That just mean red hood carries 2 more bullets
Man, Barb just can't keep it in her pants smh
the joker takes himself like such a big emotional deal but after so many years if i were batman i would just be on my phone while taking him to prison. The only two things that joker did was attacking jason and barbara but they are practicly emotionaly fine so i would not give a fuck about his intentions anymore and i know he just do crazy things to be noticed by batman and the world but i would just tell him "you are boring now" breaking his spirit
That wouldn’t break his spirit. That would just make the Joker like... level up
@@stonemims159 joker has batman in such a big gey pedestal that it would brake his spirit and he would go into depression, also yeah he could try something horrible but at that point if jason finds him first and kills batman would just forgive him since he is always a son to him, if is barbara she would just send him to arkham like any other robin
@Francisco Leyva Martin can you re-write that please?
I would just put a bullet in his head and move on.
The only "two things"...I guess in "this" timeline...
Man, this whole comic is just proof that Jason, Barbara, and Bruce need therapy.
Been watching these vid since I was 8 love your videos
I have been watching since 8 as well lol
Same
38:02 little bit of trolling by writers
Joker's motivation here kinda reminds me of Gotham, where Jeremiah tried to recreate the Wayne murders with Jim and Lee because he can't stand the thought that a random thug is much more important to Bruce's origin story than he is
Dang poor Jason man that sucks trying to tell his feelings and they just get thrown out dang I hope that they bring this up again
.-. Damn I am scarred from Justice League dark apocalypse war
This man is a goat at comics explained
Its a bad joker comic indeed
This story sucks for what it's supposed to be. A mystery! Who are these mysterious new Jokers? What do they have planned? In the end, it was nothing...but hey, look, Bruce Wayne turned this around with Joe Chill. That's worth an issue.
world's worst tape 🤐😆😆
Gone but never forgotten... Rest in peace and know your work inspired so many to listen to these stories. Thank you
This story took too long to come out
I love when Batman beats the shit out of joker this time. Shoots joker to death finally sorry bro.
10/10 joker story
