      Joker once raped one of his henchman's ex wives as a form of punishment in the Graphic Novel "Joker." I don't believe it's mainline canon though. To be honest their isn't much off the table for Joker.

      A popular theory is that Batman didn’t actually kill Joker but instead injected him with his own toxin. Some evidence is that in one of the earlier panels, Batman specifically looks at his hand after Joker loses his toxin buzzer and killing joke takes place before Joker is established to have an immunity to his own toxin. I honestly think it works quite well

Now some say that she was "raped" by the joker and some say he didn't. I have to be on the side of he did in the case that he did undress her and violate her by taking pictures of her nude.

    Loved the book, there's just one thing that bugs me. I mean, there's been years and years of joker stories and even in this book they acknowledge the fact that Joker's been there for a while and then all of a sudden he becomes sloppy and let's people see him in three different places at the same time? I mean I don't think the mobius chair was necessary for solving that one if the three Jokers are running loose and not caring much about being seen at the same time. I know that's not the point of the book, and it will probably have bigger reveals that will make me forget that point, but I still find it a little annoying.

I believe that the real joker is pulling the strings from behind the scenes this entire time. Like we haven't seen the real joker probably since shortly after he was first introduced.. somehow he's giving is clones is memories but they still develop a little bit of their own personality which would explain the different looks they different sidekicks and as time went on he got better at making exact clones which is why you're such a long time we had a joker that pretty much consistently stayed the same with Harley Quinn and whatnot she probably had sex with six different clone Jokers and had no idea in fact I don't think Harley Quinn has even met the real joker at all and Batman hasn't fought the real joker since maybe the first couple of times we seen them fight it could go as deep as the joker that killed Jason Todd glitched out won't ever really kill Batman and Robinthe reason he wouldn't kill Robin is because he could cause more pain to that man leaving Robin alive and beating the crap out of them or nearly killing him all the time the joker doesn't kill the people close to Batman he tortures them to torture batman

Jason killing is exactly what Joker wanted, he played Jason as a little pawn so much that even his "revenge" is set up by Joker himself and will probably escalate to even more problems in the following issues. Jason lost by killing and playing right into the Joker's cards.

    @chrisbrown7175 4 роки тому +1

    The Comedian Joker and The Clown Joker both have really similar face profiles. Not to mention I dont think the Joker would recycle his Killing Joke outfit the way he did in this issue; almost like real Joker wanted to "relieve the past". Notice how the other Joker retrieved the Ace Chemicals chemical truck, which would ALSO be an instance of the real Joker reminiscing on the past, the beginning of his past. The last Joker, The Criminal, has a very different face from the others and is the currently presumed Ringmaster of another one of his grand carnival-capers. Keep in mind If this Joker is the Golden Age Joker, that would explain how he knows about Baggy from a LONG ass time ago. The title of this Joker, The Criminal, speaks for itself as well. This Joker, given his namesake, has the most criminal knowledge. If either of the other two Jokers were the real one, this wouldn't really fall in line with his character at all. If there's anything I know about Joker, it's that Jokers always the boss. Any instance where he has been in a momentary position of servitude, has always been a means of manipulation simply in order to come out on top and pull back the curtain to show who's really pulling the strings shortly after. Joker doesn't take orders, he makes them. In these instances, it's usually a higher power like Darkseid or some villain the equivalent of him that Joker couldn't outright defeat without setting up the board in preparation firstly. But in this instance, that isnt a factor because all three Jokers are just people, Jokerized people, but still just people. So Joker would have no reason to play along to a facade simply because neither of them would be a real threat - at least not comparable to the real deal. So in short, I'm calling out The Criminal as the real Joker. Challenge me [constructively]

    My gut tells me that it's probably multiverse shenanigans. With each Crisis essentially collapsing universes into each other, 3 different people may have been the Joker & now those 3 people in this universe are Jokers at the same time. Honestly I'm hoping that these 3 Jokers have always been around & the other 2 were transformed by the original & alternated over the years. Could also be the boss Joker is the original & the other 2 are indoctrinated people just for this plan & chosen specifically to get under Jason & Babara's skin, hence The Killing Joke costume on one of the Jokers & the other targeting Jason's trauma.
