So... no one is talk about how Joker actually HELPED Red Hood? I gotta admit I hated how Bruce neutered Red Hood, but it's the darkest twist of irony that the freaking Joker of all people is helping Jason overcome his fear. Of course, Joker being Joker, I'm sure he's got an ulterior motive but holy crap it took an interesting turn
@@high_maintenance No Joker was the first Red Hood, Jason was the second. He wears the mantle for the same reason Batman dresses up like a bat; bats used to be Bruce's greatest fear, the Joker used to be (and still probably is) Jason's greatest fear so they wear the guise of their greatest fear to strike fear in the hearts of criminals
@@hermanmunster1054 He did say when Waffles broke the news about who's the fake that the fake Joker recognized Waffles as one of the other Doubles Real Joker made.
Isn't it obvious neither of them are the real joker. This is the sort of sick joke joker would play having two fakes fight each other over who's the real one.
Joker is the king of trash talk😂😂 Joker: no disrespect lady but I dont know who you are Manhunter: I'm your worst nightmare, Joker. Joker: My worst nightmare is being bored! Classic joker😂😂😂
"How many people do i have to get killed to get taken seriously around here" for fucking real the joker is doing terriost shit all over LA and the people just assume its a guy in a costume. 😂
I'm just guessing but I think the fake joker won. After they hit the water the fireball train hit the fake one who is already dead (this is why hair is burnt off etc). In the panel the real joke pops up with a knife to kill him, but was surprised that the other couldn't die and killed the real joker.
Also just thought about this at the end how he was acting and what he actually said. I feel like the real one would have just yelled at his men, and made it clear he's the real one, then saying a pun, or joke before reviling what is left of the other.
Also the way Solomon Grundy referred to the joker at the end as still being alive. I don’t think he was referring to him surviving the battle. Remember how he befriended the “dead” joker down in the sewer? I think Grundy was literally trying to say which joker had emerged the winner.
Yes but Solomon said not dead and remember he told the fake joker he was dead like him so maybe Grundy saying not dead was a hint that this joker wasn’t the dead one in the sewers
This is my favorite channel for comic stories. I love the voices and inflection you put into the reading. It adds a real intensity. Plus it reminds me of storytime hahahaha.
I don't think either of them are the Joker. from what I understand about the Joker is that he is in a toxic relationship with Harley and is obsessed with defeating Batman. the other thing that I understand about the Joker is that he is both a genius and a borderline chaotic psychopathic monster.
divorced from whatever is going on in current DC (because i dont know) this reads like an external Arkham Knight. in the game even adopting a fractured aspect of the Joker allowed random civilians to accomplish far more than anyone reasonably should and this story shows an almost average person adopting the essence of Joker in its entirety. it invokes that same feeling of Joker being in Batman's head or Joker taking over Tim in beyond, the idea that on some level Joker isnt something you can just punch away, that even physically killing him isnt guaranteed to solve anything. it speaks to the idea Joker occasionally posits about himself being an agent of chaos and the opposite to "Batman", that anyone could become like him under the right conditions
We need a full on opposite of The batman who laughs, The Joker Who Doesn't laugh, unless my pre watch comment is on a story that is LITERALLY this, I want that weird batman virus inside of joker.
I mean there's a mguffin that can give anyone all of batmans memory so there's always a batman in the world. Let's make it so joker does kill batman and soaks in all the chaos but feels nothing so he tries to start a new with family and everything till a mugger kills them. With that he sees that the world needs a batman so he breaks in the batcave (he knows batman is bruce) and finds that devices and uses it on himself becoming a batman himself
@@denzellizasuain563 i left a comment saying awesome id love to see it but some of the online moderators still think my very powerful friends wont get pissy over the shadow bans
I love the ending where it leaves the viewer guessing which joker came out the victor, It doesn't even matter really who's the winner, Its the Joker identity that even the fake would accept the title if it was him who won. I Mean This is something they pulled in the Three Jokers story where it didn't matter who was the real one as long as "A" Joker was left in the end, Joker IMO isn't the man but an Idea of Chaos Incarnate, Its why I think Like there'll always be a Batman, There'll always be a Joker
I’d like to believe that’s because even though fake joker has real jokers memories and general personality, he does not have the literally broken part of himself that real joker does, he THINKS he does but in the end he essentially watched a movie of someone else’s memories and thoughts; he’s acting accordingly to those installed memories but he’s still on a base level different. I mean look at how nice he was to Harley, and she nailed it on the head immediately
I think that if somebody were to make a comic that combined the premise of this one and The Three Jokers, it’d be almost perfect. All three would believe they are the Joker but have never met each other. Each time one of them commits a crime, they all just assume they did it. Then the inciting incident would happen where, through whatever circumstance, all three meet. They then go to war with each other, dragging other Gotham rogues along with members of the Bat-Family into it. In the end, only one Joker remains. One would have been killed by Jason (like in the 3J’s). The remaining two would have then fought each other to the death isolated and away from prying eyes. As the dust settles, everyone (Batman, Batgirl, Two-Face, Jim Gordon, Riddler, Penguin, Catwoman, Harley) looks at the two Joker bodies. Only one gets up. The remaining clown then announces himself as “The One True Clown Prince of Crime!” Roll Credits.
With the bullet wounds in his chest I'm thinking it's the fake one even though he is missing a bullet wound as I believe he had 3 or 4 previously but only two that I saw when he was walking outta the water at the end. Though he getting fixed up by the doctor could have helped get rid of the couple that were missing... Am I right or wrong who is to say?
Especially since the real joker already had his hair burnt off in la though he had it back when he was on the train so not sure if the hair would be a clue or not
I think that was supposed to be the fake because if you pay attention during their fight on the train, the fake (who was wearing a bandana on his neck because he had been dressed like he worked on a train) had a horizontal scar on his face that went from his cheeks to under his nose. The surviving joker had that exact same scar.
So my own theory on which joker survived: One of the last panels shows a purple sleeve and a glove, which almost definitely makes the joker who came out of the water the real joker Also, the real joker at this point has less motivation to kill the fake joker Edit: also very off topic but i love the hint on who the fake joker is based on how he tells the comic style backstory, as the real one wouldntve included the detail of him laughing at the end
I do like the red hood character, I just wish the writers would either have him kill Joker or get the heck over it already. It really makes his character annoying now ! Great job as always Comicstorian !!!!
Jason HAS killed the Joker but it's always revealed later that "oh that's a fake one" because stories with the Joker sell well and people will keep buying comics if he's in it and won't be interested if Joker is killed off due to his importance in DC. At the same time, they can't have Jason "get over it" because Jason is and always will be the only Bat Family member that prefers lethal force to the no-kill rule, and the fact that Joker was his killer and the Lazarus Pit doesn't make you forget that kind of thing and that sells well too. People will always buy comics to see if Jason will kill the Joker. Always. So... marketing is why characters can't evolve.
I know Gotham Knights gets a lot of hate and there's even further hate due to how Jason is now utilizing the no-kill rule but his character in that game is so fleshed-out and layered that he might as well be the main character of the game, especially due to how much of the story revolves around the Lazarus Pits. Sure, combat and virtually everything could have been better but the Bat family dynamic and interactions between the characters is why I love the game. Best version of the Bat Fam I've seen in videogames.
Who cares which Joker survived? We still have The Joker! But I think it’s #2 that’s still around because he’s undead, as confirmed by Grundy early on. But then Grundy at the end said “not dead”… but still seemed friendly with the surviving Joker.
It was the original, solomon said look he's not dead and comicstorian called the one that came out the water second with the knife the other one and the winner took his whole head because the other couldnt die.
This story is so much better than 3 Jokers. It actually has a really damn good ending. I love endings where you as the reader decide what happens. Just like that Two-Face story where he harasses a firefighter and his wife. You decide at the end with a coin flip if he kills himself or goes back to his wife.
We got the Batman Who Laughs. Now get ready for the Joker That Doesn’t.
😂
thats just bizzaro joker
That's literally the white night
To complete the trilogy: The Robin that doesn’t die.
I like to think the joker that doesn't laugh is just a depressed ordinary clown
So... no one is talk about how Joker actually HELPED Red Hood? I gotta admit I hated how Bruce neutered Red Hood, but it's the darkest twist of irony that the freaking Joker of all people is helping Jason overcome his fear. Of course, Joker being Joker, I'm sure he's got an ulterior motive but holy crap it took an interesting turn

Yea I agree
No kidding one joker I can handle but another one no thanks gulp 😬.
My favourite part of this story was when Joker said, "It's jokin' time"
I'm still watching, but "I'm bat-man" was incredibly funny to me.
and then he joked all over the place!
Gggg
Aaaaayyyyyyy

Classic joker😂😂😂
"school of dead fish" big man those are rats
"Gotham trout".
he also said that he was treating the doctors wounds XD
My favorite part was when the jokers both looked at eachother and exclaimed "It's Jo-ver now, Its Joking Time!"
one of the moments of all time 🔥
Basically it will never matter who the original Joker is or was ever in any multiverse, his essence is what makes The Joker
He's in Golden age.

for me... the time i have had with comics... Joker isn't a person.. it's an idea. so, "he" never lived or never died. :) rip man❤
May you rest in pace. You were always above and beyond Comics Explained.
divorced from whatever is going on in current DC (because i dont know) this reads like an external Arkham Knight.
in the game even adopting a fractured aspect of the Joker allowed random civilians to accomplish far more than anyone reasonably should and this story shows an almost average person adopting the essence of Joker in its entirety. it invokes that same feeling of Joker being in Batman's head or Joker taking over Tim in beyond, the idea that on some level Joker isnt something you can just punch away, that even physically killing him isnt guaranteed to solve anything.
it speaks to the idea Joker occasionally posits about himself being an agent of chaos and the opposite to "Batman", that anyone could become like him under the right conditions

I'd like to think fake joker won, he seemed slightly more nicer than real one with the way he treated the sick kids and grundy
