What the hell is going on with the Joker in these new Batman comics?
This Batman article contains spoilers.
Joker continuity is a bit messy by design.
Or was he originally a crime boss known as the Red Hood?
Is his real name actually Jack?
The fact that his story is indecipherable and ultimately unknowable makes him thatmuch scarier of a threatfor Batman.
But things are getting a littletooconvoluted now.
But this already unnecessary addition to the Jokers backstory wasnt resolved there, either.
Fast-forward to last yearsBatman#135 by Zdarsky, Mikel Janin, Jorge Jimenez, and Mike Hawthorne.
Thats why they were three Jokers running around in the main DC universe, theyre essentially clones!
And he has the power to make more whenever he wants…
But then hes joined by a second Joker.
Thisreallydidnt need explaining, though.
InBatman#142, we watch as one (?)
After all, DC got this story right in 1988.
Batman #142 is out now.
