shows how joker can't live without his bats it's pretty funny
when you think about it
Batman, Batsan, Batshn, Batshi, Batshit! That's how it works! Batman makes the Joker batshit crazy!
I mean
He would have been fine if Batman didn't come back
Wouldn't matter. Crime wouldn't even stop those two. And even if Gotham was peaceful if it did happen...it's only a brief calm before the storm.
But he could've lived without batman,a nice life even
One true Zimbo And yet, if all it took was Batman's death to move on, only to go right back into it as soon as he heard Batman was alive, then it only proves that he's relying too much on his death to have a good life, when he had a choice to not fight with batman anymore many other times before. I feel insanity does have its cons when you had all that time to just walk away and not come back, and not care about it anymore. But that never went through the Joker's mind. Batman came to be because Bruce lost someone important to him, and this whole thing with the Joker happened while Batman was still green at the time. Joker in his insanity ultimately chose to go back to that life. It seems he can't even live functionally without a crime fighter he knows running about. So what if Batman had something to do with the Joker's creation, he still had a choice then and now.
The best stories are the ones that show a bit of humanity of the Joker.
Yes
i mean not always
@@macafromthewired I guess it really depends on the story. Also, read parts of that book, pretty horrifying.
At least there's more personality than this one dimensional serial killer in clown make up who kills people for absolutely legitimately no reason besides killing for entertainment he literally has no characterisation besides his crush for his edgy boyfriend.
ghost of death sucks u can’t enjoy him🤣
*Kills Batman*
"Welp, fuck it. Let's get a job."
"They even played _cards."_
He said it like it's a big goal in relationships
~it is~
How many times have batman told joker "it ends here" or something along those lines.
does diffrent realities couny
less than "I'm Batman"
+Ress He never actually said that.
he did in All Star Batman and Robin, or to quote him, "I'm the god-damn Batman!"
He says "I'm Batman." in the conclusion of I Am Bane.
Whoever the artist was on this run clearly only learned how to draw one female face.
Yes
I’m saying.
Joe Staton, his art is an acquired taste
@@barriolimbas never heard of him
@@abysswalker2594 Nobody asked you
ok, your tellin me...that batman DRIFTED 200 miles, and woke up in a town where no one has either seen or heard of both batman AND bruce wayne?
the coincidences are too much
The doctor probably knew of Batman and she might have known he was Bruce Wayne but she played dumb due to his saving her before. Other than that it would have been just those kids who saw the tattered costume, but not necessarily the symbol and probably wouldn't recognize Bruce Wayne. Alfred wouldn't have reported Bruce missing and would've probably told people he was away for business or something so anybody else in Acordia probably wouldn't think the "guy in the strange costume" that looked like Bruce was really him and really Batman.
she found him in a strange battered costume and she handed it back to him before he left. they knew but won't say
She knew he was Batman, but it is perfectly understandable that someone living in a small town wouldn't know a celebrity. Mohammed Ali moved to a small town specifically for that reason after he retired.
....not in the modern age.
I like the way Rebecca still meant something to Joker even after he went insane again
This is one of those stories that actually makes you feel sympathetic for the Joker. These are my favorite kinds because they're not what you normally see in a Joker story. This one especially because it's here that you discover that the Joker's insanity is actually partly Batman's fault.
It’s not Batman’s fault at all.
Nathamiel watch the new one
@Daniel Appleton your right batman did drop him, but joker could have chosen not to let that insanity consume him like that.
@Daniel Appleton joker will always be the psychopathic murderous clown and he's shouldn't be anything else well he's been pretty much the same since he started lol
feel sympathetic for rebbeca he ruined so much of her time
It makes me sad... Joker could have a normal life... a wonderful live. And it's kinda ironic that he would be fine, without the person that tries to help him.... Shit that really made me sad...
I am a bit sad Joker diden't act like "Why? WHY!? I was finnaly happy, I had a woman who where gonna be my wife, then you came back, and ruined everything!"
Astrid Nipflake or when he was dragging batman's body to the river why didnt he atleast removed batman's cowl to have an advantage on his identity
+Andre because joker was afraid that if he discovered who batman really was, he'd find less fun being around him
@@Andre-zi1gb didn’t joker think Batman was Dead?
I can tell a kid wrote this like the writing is easy mistakes kids make
He still could've been happy. It was his choice to become a criminal again
What a sad story about the joker.
ironic since jokes are meant for comedy instead of tragedy
Grant Spitzer true it makes me tear up when he says "I love you please don't forget it".
All jokes stem from some sort of tragedy though
Not all
:(
Personally, I think it would be cool to see Joker legitimately try to be Batman. Maybe sort of 'beat him at his own game' sort of thing. I'm thinking Batman disappears for whatever reason, and Joker is upset because he needs Batman. He waits, hoping one of the Robins or someone will pick up the cowl, but nobody does. Eventually, he decides he might as well do it himself. Who knows Batman better than the Joker? Then he does Batman things, all the while trying not to do Joker things. It's a weird idea that would take a lot to get off the ground, but it could be an interesting 'what if' story.
Something like that happened in a one off episode of The Batman. Joker hits batman with some joker venom, slowly turning him into a giggling nut. In turn, Joker decides to become the new batman, just more violent and petty.
11 items on a 10 item lane.....she had it coming
Kind of like superior Spiderman
Javier Perez Yeah kinda like that.
Kraven's last hunt
Actually knowing how happy joker was due to getting a new life it truly shows that if his insanity was to go away he would actually be some form of of a nice guy
Or it shows nice guys are one bad break away from being manic criminals
And oldy, but a goody
you stole the first commet
The day the Joker goes sane is the day we all go insane
when will we do nova again man?
yes more nova

Joseph Kerr is about as solid of an alias as Alucard.
Pst. Alucard is Wolfman spelled backwards!
I thought it was frankenstein backwarda
I got that reference
Cough(Dracula)Cough
Thanks for clearing it up, Toxic Python. I don't think anybody would have gotten it if it wasn't for you.
kash smith Dr. Acula
This story was one of the inspirations for the Joker movie. The movie even references the bit where the Joker is watching Charlie Chaplin in the movie theater. The writer J. M. Dematties was also mentioned in the end credits of the movie.
so,without the batman in his life;the joker would become sane?
can the same thing be said for the other rouges
No because other rougues have other reasons to exist, other motives. The Joker's only purpose in life is being the opposite of Batman.
Maii Half-Blood good point.
the part I found rally interesting about this story wasn't just jokers brief encounter with sanity, but the fact that both joker and batman got the chance to break the cycle and lead a normal life for one, and yet in the end their obsession with each other pulled them back. It's actually kind of tragic in a way.
then again I always liked the batman stories that analyze the minds of certain characters. Mr. freeze trying to turn over a new leaf in batman beyond. mask of the phantasm where Bruce Wayne's ex fiance shows up and you get a peak at the happiness he could have had if he hadn't decided to pursue vengeance as well as a vengeful murdering vigilante who shows what batman could have become with out his code.
Also there was a really good two face side story from the no man's land arc where he wound up helping out at a clinic and and having a relationship with one of the doctors because his coin kept turning up heads. At the end a bunch couple junkies rob the place, and beat the hell out of the doctor. A furious two face beats the living shit out of them, and is about to flip a coin to dermine whether or not her should execute them, the dr. tries to convince him he doesn't need the coin anymore. He flips it anyways, claims it landed heads so the junkies live, and walks off. the last panal has him looking at the coin one last time to reveal it landed tails and he was lying his ass off..
Very good comic rins indeed kyriss12. I never understood why batman didnt just let joker lead a normal life, but ur right about their obsession with each other
No. No one has the level of obsession Joker has for Batman. Without Batman, Joker literally has no reason to exist.
Human Joker looks creepy. Actually, all the faces look strange.
This is one of my favorite Batman stories because I believe it inspired one of the greatest episodes of Batman The Animated Series. It's called "The Man who Killed Batman" after a man supposedly "kills" Batman the Joker feels empty committing a crime since he knows his greatest enemy will never show up to stop him.
Going sane is one of my fave batman stories. I love how they dont overexplain jokers mental condition but just show it as a natural part of the story. They also dont labor over his origins, unlike every writer out there ripping off the killing joke. But the absolute best bits are of joker leaving his fiance, both of them seemingly knowing exactly what hes doing as he lies that hell be back and she timidly waits in the dark forest. There was also a good parallel of bruce liking the quite village life with the pretty doctor. These characters were already icons but not as heavily self referential as the batman and joker of the early to mid 2000s. Lovely story.
the thumbnail says batman going sane
*joker going sane*
The story is called Batman going sane, I just threw Jokers name in the title so people would know hes in it
TRIGGERED
Oh hey! It's you!
Xandalf The Great haha hey man!
10:00 remember when Batman bragged about how barely anyone can cut his cables in under the red hood? Lol
Griffin Patrick that's literally what I thought immediately after seeing that. lol
First thing I thought of
this story reminds me of when Batman was declared dead and Jim Gordon took over and the Joker turned "normal" too. I kind of wish that Bruce was allowed to stay that way, a life without the Batman and the same with the joker personally I think after all these years they deserve it
Vasun05 what about bane killer croc mr freeze clayface
Here's a proposition... kill batman off in the comics. Let Joker become Joe Kerr again. This time though, make sure batman is actually dead. Let Joe live a normal life until one day he is too appalled by the terrible things he sees going on in gotham. With that he ends up becoming either another batman... or becomes a "good" incarnation of the joker who fights crime. I'm sure this may have happened, I wouldn't honestly know as I don't read the comics a lot but I want joe back... I don't know why.
srry gotham needs batman/bruce wayne
That'd be an interesting alternate universe.
without batman the whole bat universe comics will get cancelled lol. but yeah it could be a good different earth storyline.
maybe he tries to be both joker and batman
Maybe it's like a split personality thing. As batman he's constantly chasing the joker and as joker he's constantly evading batman, but doesn't know that he's both of them.
Anyone agree it is a shame this was never adapted for BTAS?
BTAS joker was a mafia thug before, watch Mask Of Phantasm movie it gives a glipse at joker backstory there
olserknam what is BTAS?
Skynone 5099 Batman The Animated Series
olserknam oh ok thx
Fun Fact: "Seph" ( from Joseph ) means "god will increase". Seeing that he crossed out the Seph, god was not able to increase.
Kerr means man of strength, swamp, from the marsh and spear in 4 languages.
Crazy how the names kinda tells a story behind the story...
I think they should make "Batman is the reason Joker is insane" canon. That would add so many layers to his character.
The thumbnail says batman gone sane but the title is joker gone sane
they forot to put the coma Batman, Gone sane
ok
+The Phantom jesus christ that was a spelling fuckup man
Alfie Buckley lol ur right
Has anyone else seen the "The Joker is Super Sane" theory if you haven't its based off of this story and is really good.
KingLouieGaming The "Super Sane" thing is cannon but the whole thing of Joker being aware he's in a comic is a theory.
Wyatt Iden An awesome theory at that.
There is a series where he does talk to the audience. Joker was one of my favourite characters for his complex nature and desire to be the opposite of Batman i saw from The Dark Knight is what drove me to comic books in the first place. However with this theory, it just adds a layer that places him at the top of my list.
He basically has a god complex, that is with reason, as he knows anything he does actually doesnt matter. All he does, its for entertainment factor, and helps boost the sales of the comics.
Hence why this video about him going sane, makes so much sense.
He doesn’t feel bad about killing because they are fictional and not really dead
KingLouieGaming “That’s right Batman! You’re not dealing with the average criminal anymore. I am a Super Sane!”
why cant batman just leave him alone. Joker had recovered and was happy he no longer was the monster anymore so much tragedy always for batman and his villains stories.
The reason why is because although Joker had become a some what sane man he still is responsible for an untold number of death and destruction he still would need to answer for his crimes.
not only that but he saw the newspaper with the words HE IS BACK and a picture of batman, that didnt help.
i think a better solution is for batman to use a new outfit
It's Joker's own fault for being obsessed with Batman. Joker will always be the monster he is. The only reason he developed the Joseph Kerr personality was because after he thought Batman died Joker felt he had no purpose so he started a new life. And oh yeah Batman's really going to leave the evil psychopath who kills innocent people for a laugh alone isn't he "sarcasm."
Well not to be bias but I would leave him alone in peace. He always kills more no matter how many times he gets locked up. So leaving him to his sanity would be a just punishment.
I'm watching this while I'm taking a shit
you done?
Yea,about 5 minutes ago 😂😂
Men Shut Yo Bitchass up
Done yet?
+zerothememe yes 😂
Joker breaks the fourth wall. Because notice that when batman 'died' he became sane, and then went back insane when he returned? Well, maybe thats because batman cant die, hes the hero, so he stops believing that hes in a comic.
.
Rabbitface. Charnley Ok
Joe ker you clever clown
lol
Reference to animate series where his fake name is Joe ker
pretty sure it's not a reference to the series, didn't Benny say this story was from the 60's?
it's also in batman begins
You spelled Kerr wrong. I would know.
INB4 a crazed now-older Rebecca shows up in Harley's comic as her version of Batman's "Hush" trying to enact revenge in jealous rage, saying "I was his FIRST girl! I will get my Joseph back!"
Seriously?
What issue was that???
William Riker
Dude...I'm saying it WILL BE an arc (or should be) *In Kevin Smith Voice* "YOU be the one to write it!"
No lie, I would love this.
what is it called
I think I like the Dark Knight Returns version better, where Joker becomes a vegetable until he sees Batman on the news
CoolGreen Bug darling
okay but now I can't stop thinking of a giant carrot in a recliner watching TV.
It should be noted this story is basically Kraven's Last Hunt. And I don't mean it in a bad way. It literally is. The writer (J.M. Dematteis) originally proposed the story as a Wonder Man story. After that failed he proposed it as a Batman story. It was originally rejected for being too similar to The Killing Joke. Then he reworked it as a Spider-Man story. And it was published. Then he also managed to publish the Batman story. And that is why "Going Sane" and "Kraven's Last Hunt" are the same story.
For the longest time i thought that I had imagined this one. I could only really remember the last few panels of batman looking over the lady. Going to have to pick this one up again. Now, Mr Comicstorian, could you tell me if another Batman story exists. It involves Zatanna and Joker...Joker cutting her throat and her writing her spells in her own blood. I know it sounds morbid...and I kinda hope I didn't imagine it lol.
Detective Comics 833
Ah sweet. Wasn't expecting an answer so fast. Thanks.
Did not want "Zatanna throat slice" in my search history...I have enough skeletons there lol.
+Otaku Fiend lmao gg m8
Comicstorian you're amazing
this why i love the batman stories more than any other comic book story out there
If I got half of what a penny costs everytime Batman said "It ends here",
I'd be richer than him.
What I like about this story is that it shows one of the many ways that the Joker's life could've been like without encountering Batman, and showing one of Joker's old flames in comics before Harley Quinn entered the continuity.
Just imagine Batman's reaction when he see's the joker having a normal life with his Wife and Kids
i wish it's made to a movie.
Jack Napier, William Distel and Joseph Kerr. Does he have any more names besides "The Clown Prince" and "Red Hood"?
Mr. Face cut off
"Red Hood" isn't his name. Jason Todd took that name himself after he was raised from the dead.
He wore a suit with the name joe when his face was cut off
true but joker in many forms he was the first to take the mantel of red hood
1 of his aliases in the Arkham games is Jack White. He also called himself Dr Rekoj once too.
that was a fantastic story!! they should make a movie out of that!!
Try watching harley quinn
This is perhaps the saddest story I have ever heard
On another note. Benny. You're amazing. The amount of quality content you are able to put out on EM and Comicstorian is incredible really. Its so much that I have actually forgotten the videos I had watched (and youtube's "Watched" marker is unreliable). You've tested and broken my memory. I applaud your effort man !!
This story was so sad... Batman is the reason that the joker is insane
"he scribbles out the 'seph' part, leaving only the 'Jo'
and then he looks at his last name 'Kerr' and then he scribbles out the extra 'r'
leaving JO-KER"
*intense sweating*
Man, Batman seems to beat the shit out of innocents a lot doesn't he?
Because he is batman.
@James Midnite he's referring to everyone who wasn't joker (or a bad guy)
I have been waiting for this for so long
I love you're videos alot, thank you for all that you do! and tell your team Thank you for all they do. i hope this channel never dies. Thank you agian
I feel sorry for "joker" honestly, batman is his weakness. He could have lead a normal life.
watching this just makes me feel so sad about Leto's portrayal of the joker.
I love it, the old classic batman comics are truly a work of art, can you please continue it Benny
love this channel. thank you for your service!
Comicstorian, maybe this is a weird request, but could you put the comic's credits in the info? In particular, pencilers/writers?
What if Jokers real name is Joseph he didn't make up a new one he let the old part of him out
You guys just made my week!! THANKYOU!
Thank you for the classic story. Please keep them coming.
if only he was that nice to Harley
hey i know this has nothing to do with batman or joker but could you please do more blue beetle jamie reyes stories :)
Hey man, I'd just like to say that I love your videos! Keep up the good work
Good vid thx!
Man that was a damn good story.
i really like this story of joker it will be cool if this os connected some way to the 3 jokers
We love these stories. You sir are good at your job
Awesome dude
If you're doing the more classic ones, could you please do the "Emperor Joker" story arc?
Anyone realise the thumbnail says "Batman goes sane" instead of "joker goes sane"?
It was an odd tale to me. I think it's been said that if Batman ever did die, then Joker would "retire" but in this story "Joseph" keeps experiencing these weird Joker trances. Can these two just sense that the other is still alive or can neither one really and truly change for the better?
loved it! need more of these, or you could try and cover knightfall? that would be epic!
It would've been better for Rebecca if joker had killed her because mental pain is much worse than physical pain which is shown when Batmans parents die. Also if you are cut or shot even you can still heal and get better but when a family member or somebody close dies the pain stays longer and you would suffer longer.
lol joe ker
...Joe care ?
blewcraft Joe mama!
Please do more classic Batman stories!
You are my main source for comic discussions
I don't know why this isn't one of the classic and top batman comics. So much detail about joker. Tbh this is probably my favourite batman comic
Thing is the thumbnail said "what if batman went sane"
would have been cool to have it branch off so the old bat had a happy little life and the Joker went sane
Great story, thanks for the video.
wow nice story ty for posting.
I love this story. It perpetuates the idea that the harder you fight something the harder it fights back. Madness, just like rage, just wants to be fed. Take away what is feeding it and it dies out.
Is there a trade out for this story or only single issues
Theres a Trade, its titled Batman going sane
cool story bro... Crisis on Infinite Earth's
I love these videos
heck I love all your videos
Loved it.
Can you do a full of Year 5 of Injustice? I think it just finished... ;)
Edit: Or at least add another part on it.
we have two more parts coming, look back next Saturday for it
Cool. I'm looking forward to it.
would love to see leto portraying this kind of joker live action.
Thanks this was a awesome story
You deserve more than already have!!!! I love your videos.
Love conquers all and Hope springs eternal.
I feel bad for the joker
Beautiful
great story keep it up comicstorian
Damn batman and joker relationship is just so toxic, wow so obsessed and dependent on batman..
If you're doing old batman comics could you do batman red rain Please
keep up the great work man
Absolutely amazing story please do more like this!!!!
They could have done this part to the animated The Killing Joke adaptation... rather than the horribly, insulting Batgirl part. It would have been thematically interesting.
that joker picture in the back is so damn creepy
Really amazing story, I mean WOW! It really is a fascinating idea and shows something that many never considered.
great story thanks
