  • Welcome to a brand new video! In this video we will be talking about the Joker, but far from your normal run of the mill joker. This Joker is the mother of Bruce Wayne and Wife of Thomas Wayne, after seeing her son passed on to the next life Martha Wayne loses her mind and becomes the Joker to Thomas Wayne's Batman and I'll be going into Why Martha Wayne's Joker Broke My Heart. This has to be one of the saddest Joker's ever and she does give some sort of reason for Batman to not kill her.

      Though if she learned of the Death of the Family Joker she would likely try to kill him before he could harm her son and grandson before going out herself. Though that Joker is far more ruthlessly deceptive and maliciously cruel then her especially in how he critically thinks to outwit her.

      Which is why we need a spin-off where Batman uses time travel to not only save his parents, but share his knowledge of future events, leading to them working together to create the Bat League in the new timeline, which is a non-lethal version of the League of Shadows run by a still surviving Wayne family.

So at least you know that the writer isn’t happy with what they did to his work either and he wasn’t responsible with what they did to his character and he wasn’t the one that ruined it but he did get to fix it.

    I share your sorrow for this woman. She's not like the other joker, she's different. She's not killing because she finds it funny, she's killing because she's grieving over the lost of the child she loved so dear and died in her arms. I'm guessing that in her mind, she's thinking that the world took something previous from her, so she's gonna strike back at the world.

    • @astrissterne

      I mean... How is that different from the original joker? If we go with the mainline version of him, he also fell off the deep end after one bad day. While we may not know exactly what happened, he remembers it as being as traumatic as losing his pregnant wife. And it's not like he's just being silly and happy killing people. Isn't showing that life is just a cruel joke that makes no sense a way of striking back at a world that took everything you had?

      @trickthemisfit3256 2 місяці тому +8

      I think the difference is the backstory. In Flashpoint, we know how Martha became the Clown Queen? Princess? of Crime, her breaking point is her son died. The Joker's breaking point is when first come face-to-face with Batman in the chemical factory, fell into a vat of chemical, got flushed and came out changed. Way back then, there's little backstory of the Joker and often times, whenever psychologist/therapist/doctors tries to psychoanalyze him, he goes "Oh pick one, my past is a multiple choices". I think only these recent comics the DC decided to give him a backstory... cause the only concrete backstory for the Joker is his first meeting with the Batman in the chemical factory.

I don't actually want DC to give the joker a definite backstory, but that's also bc I don't think joker could continue existing if he (and us) knew what that was. I think fundamentally it's not the backstory itself that separates them, but the fact that Martha remembers it and Joker doesn't (and doesn't want to). And knowing her trauma makes her more sympathetic to us, of course, but my point is that that doesn't make her breaking and actions more justified than Joker's - our perception's different, but that doesn't make it true in-universe

    I mean.. the reason batman don't kill the joker does make sense, he is afraid that if he takes that first life.. that he will lose himself and kill every villain. so I do understand that.
    What I can't understand is why the court or the law execute the joker already.. like sure in the beginning they may have thought they can cure him.. but at this point the joker should be executed by the law and sent to death. Batman wouldn't save the joker if he got sentence to death by the law.
    So again.. not blaming batman for not killing the joker, I am blaming the world batman lives in the city and the law of the city.

      There is a due process to these things. But Joker always manages to escape. If they pushed for the death penalty for him, he’d get out of jail while he waits to be executed. He’s also got connections too to get himself out of anything. He’s even put plans into action while incarcerated. He’s even set up for chaos to occur after his death. It’s not the most realistic, but I mean seriously, it’s superhero cartoons lol. Joker always has a trick up his sleeve.

    I believe the Adaptation of Joker from the 2019 film made me feel emotionally connected. This Joker we see a broken man who suffers from schizophrenia and is poor living with his elderly sick dying mother. In this universe or in Joker's head because at the end it is revealed that this is Joker retelling a story but because he suffers from schizophrenia, he is not a reliable narrator, it is believed that Joker's mother was one of Thomas Wayne's maids and that he cheated on his wife with her, and she ended up pregnant with who we see playing the Joker in this film, however in order to cover it up, he fires her leaving her to be poor and raise Joker on her own, Joker grows up and learns of this and attempts to confront Thomas Wayne and tries to talk to Bruce, but to no avail. Joker also worked at some locker room and would get picked on all the time, and beat up all the time. One time he had to hold up a sign for the shop he worked at, and some thugs took the sign and ran and when he caught up with them he got jumped. Of course throughout the entire film Joker is treated horribly, and his mother is dying. Joker also attended therapy consistently and had medicine he had to take. However eventually that therapy office got shut down, even tho he felt like it didn't help anyway. After this the downward spiral went even further. Joker became Joker, in one scene he kills his mother while she's in the hospital suffocating her, and then he win's a spot on the murray show, a show him and his mom used to enjoy watching it's like a midnight show similar to like trevor Noah or saturday night live or the tonight show. One day as he's getting ready, 2 of his co-workers come over to the apartment, and I don't remember what words were traded but he kills one of them a super tall guy, the other was a midget, and he let him go. Fast forward to the show everything is going normal however he peeped that Murray just wanted to invite him on the show just to make fun of him(which if u see the film I agree he only wanted to make fun of him) and then he ends up Killing Murray on live TV. Back track a little bit, 3 wallstreet boys were attacking Joker and he had a gun on him and killed them this was the talk of the town and Murray mentioned it on the show and Joker admitted to killing them. After the Murray show incident Joker Starts a riot, with a bunch of goons wearing Joker masks. now Joker from the murray show got arrested, and then the police car he got into got into an accident, and some of the goons pulled him from the car, and he was the center of the riot, before I get to the end here, I believe this moment spoke to me because through out the entire film Joker has an issue with being/feeling invisible society has never cared about him or his needs or his mother's needs, and people have ignored his cries and his problems when he did ask for help, and now he feels somewhat happy because now people finally see him, deep down I believe he had wished he didn't need to become a insane person to be noticed. So during the Riot we see Thomas Wayne, Bruce, and Martha, and this is where things get interesting because the same events we all know, take place in this movie, Martha and Thomas are killed by one of the Joker Goons from the riot.
    Now this storyline makes things interesting because this means that the Joker is Bruce wayne's half brother. But in this case Joker would be his much older half brother because at this point Joker is a fully grown adult looks between the ages 20 and 30, meanwhile Bruce was about 10 years old possibly slightly older. I believe this film truly showed that 2 people can both have tragic events happen to them but regardless you can always try to go down the right path. But I felt for this Joker because a lot of the same feelings he exhibited during this film I have felt as well and understand that the things that happened to him are very realistic and happens everyday to people.

    It appears like there is a unseen force or a spirit of somesort with each individual DC reality that preys upon individuals who are very mentally compromised and unstable enough state in the right behavior and attitude traits and seeks to influence, afflect, and/or possess them to become a maddening Joker across the DC multiverse. Martha in this timeline's case would become it's host that it found desirable enough to be the Joker at the time whenever it targeted her in the Flashpoint paradox universe.
    For the original Joker it seemed like it took longer for it to find a suitable host to inhabit and afflict with it's criteria and wicked intentions of madness since that man became the Joker when Bruce was a young adult at the very least.
    It seems like who ever is the Joker can still have their own seperate personality traits, motivations, perspectives, and even dare I say valuing of a emotional attachment for something else then the other would. If Martha Joker still being horrified that Bruce would become the Batman means it so.
    I would imagine she would be extra horrified even in her insane state if she learned that her son would be force to fight a Joker even worse and far more creatively cruel then she is. The nightmarish terror the Death of the Family Joker would inflict upon not just her son but even her grandson Damian a kid who grew up in a organized cult of mountain dwelling terrorist ninjas and could take care of himself and yet would still be outwitted and scared by that Joker who cut his own face off would give her extreme horrific anxiety.
    Let's not forget about Emperor Joker who literally broke Bruce mentally. That would break a loving mother's heart to learn and see her son experience such a terrible suffering and him despite his strong will finally crack from it. Especially at the hands of a wicked person who has taken up the mantle you held and committed great evil with.

    First of all, YES, an Original take on the Joker, and the MOST TRAGIC given her origin.
    Ignoring all the criticisms over gender swapping characters, THIS is a female Joker that makes 1000% sense.
    Now i AM going to disagree on one point here.
    We're not seeing a lot of the Martha Wayne Joker, this is VERY true, BUT it is in NO WAY lessening her impact.
    While much of the conflict between her and her Husband [Batman] is off screen or implied, it IS none the less very effectively felt.
    There's an old show business saying;
    "Always leave them [ the audience] wanting MORE".
    The Flashpoint take on Martha Wayne is doing that and doing it so successfully that a character who had only a couple of actual panels is PIVOTAL to the character and development of a main character.
    In the Novel "Dracula" The eponymous Vampire has very little "Screen time" yet his presence LOOMS over everything, his actions off screen or implied, and yet he utterly dominates the narrative.
    His presence is SO powerful it launched the character into legend status.
    Martha Wayne's Joker is in this same mould.
    She is DOMINATING the whole batman arc without appearing in more than a few token frames, yet her influence remains omnipresent.
    The LESS we see of her the MORE we want, and the MORE POWERFUL she becomes as a character.
    This kind of writing is what sets the medium of comic book writing head and shoulders above anything Hollywood could put out.

    What any decide parent wants for their child is to have a better life than they had and I think knowing that Bruce would end up in such a way that he suffers just like his father with no hope of a joyful or peaceful life broke her more than losing Bruce. It's one thing to mourn the lost potential but it's something entirely different to see that potential ruined never to be used. In a sense it is worse than her son dying, he would live a dark, lonely life with no reward or happiness at any point in it. Which is the tragedy of Batman as a hero, he has no super powers so every wound or injury he just has to suffer with nor can he save everyone no matter how much he wants to along with the fact he will never be thanked or have time for a real family. The man for pathological reasons ends up sacrificing his life and happiness to try to stop two bullets he can never catch over and over until his body is too broken and old to do it anymore. That's why I think how Bruce ended up in Batman Beyond fits perfectly what being Batman cost him, alone in his home with everyone bitter over his need to be Batman just a physical shadow of what he once was still aching to stop those two bullets causing him pain that's as sharp in that moment as it was when he was 8 years old.

So mad to the point no only gets revenge on his son's killer, but kills anyone who tries and stops him only for Martha having to be the saving grace, taking on the mantle of Batwomen.

    The normal joker is good cuz even if you can’t relate to him from what he does but you can see the reason why he keeps doing those crazy stuff is because he wants to get Batman’s attention and to try getting him to his limits and even break his rule of not killing, and the joker also works for Batman is cuz he is almost the entire the opposite of Batman

  • @user-ni2bo3mu5p
    @user-ni2bo3mu5p 2 місяці тому

    I think it could be an interesting story if this Joker was somehow able to be moved to the main DC universe, and when she figures out what Batman is, since she knows her son turns out to be Batman, and all the allies/enemies he has. And her crazed mission is to kill all the main enemies of Batman ending with this universe’s Joker, while making sure to never hurt any of the bat family, don’t cause her son more pain, leaving all of them perfectly fine and punish those who gave his son pain, since she couldn’t prevent it. Would be more interesting of an interesting story if it ends up with Bruce’s perspective, on how an alternate universes Joker, ends up killing only villains of his who have wronged him (knowing Comic books she will probably only be able to kill small villains that no one cares for), and when he finds this new Joker, he is shocked to find out it is his own mother. Would be an interested talk between the two, considering against killing Bruce is and how against this life Martha is.
