Guarantee with the amount of foreshadowing they keep doing with the Red Hood mantle, Jason through his own sense of revenge to beat the Joker once and for all, will be pushed by the other two jokers. Thus leaving him in a state of identity crisis, through some convenience it will be revealed Todd becomes that new Joker they seem to be looking for.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Totally agree...Jason Todd will end up being THE Joker by the end of this run...Food or bad that’s where this is going...

@Se4M4NSt4ine - that’s an interesting thought, didn’t think of that

Decent idea for an Elseworlds, I guess
But I don't accept this concept as "canon" at all.😂 How many different versions of Batman & Catwoman have their been? Instead of dividing the character's history up into sections, I want DC to always try to honor the past iterations, when they tell new stories with them. That helps to make the relationships & interactions a lot more interesting.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - True, the idea of multiple Jokers might have worked better in the Earth One series, but making it part of the main DC continuity is just Johns grasping at straws to do something different with a character that is grossly overused.

@soberchimera - Good thing it's not part of the main universe yet then. But I do remember him saying that if the story proves popular it could be added just like Killing Joke was.

Hven't read the issue yet but this has been my most anticipated comic book in all my time reading. Something about it looks really well done.

The art?😆

How many years ago was this meant to come out? Also, despite looking forward to this, I'm not keen on the idea that the original Joker who shares all that history with Batman apparently isn't the one from The Killing Joke, which - despite largely revolving around Barbara being brutally injured and Jim being psychologically tortured - is ultimately about Joker trying to make Batman understand him and get to know him in his own twisted way, to show how they're kindred spirits. That's all lost if he wasn't the original Joker (unless the original disappeared when he apparently died in his first appearance, and The Joker that appeared ever since was The Killing Joke version).

Still, could be a good read as an Elseworlds type story. Unless of course there's some twist down the line which reveals there's only ever been one Joker all along and this is just some elaborate game he's playing with the Bat family.

@AC1 - Wouldn't be the first time the Joker "died" and someone took his place, only for the original to return. I still remember a storyline from the 80s where that happened.

the revelation that there's more than one Clown Prince of Crime is undeniably mind-blowing

Change 'mind-blowing' to 'stupid' and you've got an accurate article. Seriously, Johns chose to do this over Batman: Earth One Vol. 3?!?!?

@soberchimera - IDK that first issue was pretty damn good. Guess it all depends how it ends though as with most mystery stories. So too early to judge maybe?

I could have sworn this event had already come and gone.

I wish comics weren’t so impenetrable. I read occasional runs, but comics as a whole are so convoluted with seemingly random numbering and various crossovers/tie ins.

I tried reading the Metal event, but I must’ve missed a huge chunk of it, because I didn’t even see any of the other “evil Batmen” that I had seen advertised and the story didn’t make any goddamn sense to me lol.

@PicolasCage - Read the DARK NIGHTS: DEATH METAL GUIDEBOOK #1. Apparently you are not the only one that didn't follow from the beginning. It is a wicked good run if you read them all as I did.

If the Batman Who Laughs is canon shouldn't the person that kill Joker get infected by that toxin in his heart and "Jokerize" himself?

Or was that only if the heart was pierced?
Unless that counted only for that parallel earth.

@Darth258 - Only 1 Joker had that done....Most likely the 4th Joker. I believe he is the Joker in the currant arcs in Joker War. He knows all the Bats...just like Jason...

Four years we've waited for this.

Darth258
Darth258 - 8/25/2020, 9:36 AM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Bet they're planning to kill all three just for anew Joker to emerge.
Until the next reboot.

Nice art, but Johns' writing is wildly overrated.😏

@johnnymarr - No, it isn't. He's a writer with some work that's better than others, just like every other human that has done a thing. They can't all be hall of fame seasons.

@BackwardGalaxy - I think Johns is a 'special case'. Some DC fans are really overprotective of him, treating him like some kind of 'sacred cow'.

I realized when I bought this today on Comixology I have three subscription services with Amazon. Prime, Comixology, and Audible. Amazon taking over the world is inevitable.

@blackandyellow - Yeah, realized that not long ago about comiXology. Don’t really see a comparable alternative! I genuinely prefer the digital comic experience

blackandyellow - 8/25/2020, 12:28 PM
@SanFranLand - Yep. I love having my entire comics collection available to me as long as I have my iPad and an internet connection.

blackandyellow

@DioFurrrio - I’m all digital nowadays. I gave away everything except for a few trades a few years ago and switched completely.
