COMICS: 'Batman' Becomes SPOILER  In JUSTICE LEAGUE #42 & Discovers 'Joker''s Identity

Today's issue of Justice League was an eventful one... to say the least! Find out what went down with the Dark Knight and the true identity of the Clown Prince of Crime in the latest chapter of Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's' Multiverse-spanning "Darkseid War" right here...

So basically, Batman is now Bat-God! After the League discover that it's Metron's Möbius Chair that holds the answers to Earth's salvation and not the New God himself, Wonder Woman removes him from his seat and Batman decides to take his place, essentially gaining access to all of the knowledge in the universe. He tests this by first asking a question he already knew the answer to (who killed his parents), but then inquires as to the true identity of the Joker.

Whatever name he's given shocks him to his core, though he doesn't share it with his team-mates or us the lowly readers - but this will no doubt factor into a future story arc at some point. Be sure to speculate away in the usual place after you check out these pages from the issue courtesy of Newsarama.

Fabok is the best artist in comics right now. One of the reasons I started getting back into Justice League.

They're going to have to bring Zatanna back in to wipe Bruce's mind.

I think I know why Bruce says "No. That's not possible."
He asked, "What is the Joker's true name?" Of course the Mobius chair would give him the answer to his question.

THE JOKER'S TRUE NAME IS... THE JOKER.
The Joker's clown prince personality is who he truly is, it doesn't matter if his name was John Smith before he became Red Hood and then Joker. His true self is the Joker, which is why Batman can't believe that the chair that knows everything couldn't give him the answer he wanted or thought he would get.

Maybe the chair said Tilda Swinton

@Doopie Thank you. It's Geoff Johns writing, it's most likely going to be that.

@ManCalledSting I would love to see Alex Ross take on the New 52 version of the Justice League

@ManCalledSting

Reread what I wrote.

Fabok is the best artist in comics right now.

I mean we all know Ross is the GOAT of comic book artists but I was talking more among the current artists.

And Ross doesn't draw comic issues currently. Just covers to comics.

I would have thought Batman would have known Joker's true identity by now. Joker's true name being The Joker is kind of lazy, but makes sense.

I think it would be interesting if The Joker turned out to be either himself, or his Dad from another reality. Stuff like that can get intriguing if done and handled properly.

Wait Batman can't even interface with the power ring? Batman or almost any other person would be better than Hal Jordan. The joker's Name? I hope its nothing and the joker only exists because batman does.
