Will you consider the Joker's revealed real name canon even though all the men who created the Joker are dead and none of them had any input in the name?
>>
>>83818750
which of the three names?

>Batman never noticed it was three different dudes he was fighting

world greatest detective.

At this point, it just don't matter

it was so shocking his hair fell out

>What's the Joker's true name?
>*Joe Kherr*
>>
>>83818750
Twist: Joker has no true name because he discarded all that he started identifying as his True Name. This is due to living in a world with magic where having a True Name endangers you to those who know how to use it.
>>
>>83818750
Joker's true name is Frank Liebowitz
>>
>>83818750
Why wouldn't I?

Sheev Palpatine? The joker is a SITH LORD?

Still better than the twist we actually got

What, is he mentally hooked up to the 70's TV show's bat-computer?

No. Canon is for freaks and sissy boys. Stop it.
Batgod is forever.

what twist did we get?

At this point, only Stan Lee can name the Joker, and if he does that the universe will implode.
>>
>>83819402

A Canticle for Leibowitz, great book.
>>
>>83819384

Skullduggery?
>>
>>83818750
His real name is Eddie Blake

>implying the 3 Jokers won't be retconned because people were already hating the idea before JL50 came out
Either two of them will be impostors or it'll be some meta bullshit.
>>
>>83819557
This. No one but a character's original creator should ever give it's true name.
>>
>>83819619
They will uniteto create the Joker-Force
>>
Joker's true name is Ping?
>>
>>83819529

Fucking casual.
>>
>>83819674
Yes. Ping of Jokes versus Bat of Gotham.
>>
>>83818820
Neither have you, dipshit.
>>
>>83819721
You think no one noticed different art styles? Because that's what it is. There are no different art styles, just different Jokers.
>>
>>83819546
There are actually three Jokers. Reveled in Justice League #50 -- Editors Note

Shh, don't tell anyone I posted.
>>
>>83819818
Which book going forward is going to address the three Joker thing? Detective Comics or Batman?
>>
>>83819965
Nobody knows yet.

I dislike it because it's made to address the problem of Joker acting differently throughout history, despite Morrison already explaining that.
>>
>>83819209

you can't see his chin in the second panel. he's shaving.
>>
>>83819384
Rip Hunter pls.

This is only the third or fourth most stupid idea to come out of Rebirth.

What was his explanation?

fuckin wat
>>
>>83820400
Flahpoint Joker was surprisingly good.
>>
>>83820411
He recreates himself as a response to new stimuli. Silver Age Joker turned into Bronze Age Joker when he decided to take a hit of Scarecrow's fear gas, post-crisis Joker turned into Thin White Duke of Death Joker when the fake Batman shot him in the face, and that Joker turned into a Black Glove-killing detective when Batman died and so on.

>>83820501
this is just as retarded as three jokers and only gets a pass because its morrison

Why is it retarded?

Say what you want about Bald Wizard Man, but I thought the idea of Joker "being good" while Bruce was dead was pretty on point.
>>
>>83819384

Bartemeus, is that you?
>>
>>83820400
Makes sense
>>
>>83821410
I know some people just found it dreary that the joker was reduced to homo lusting for Bats

>I'll be good so I can find my Batsy again

I personally liked that twist. But didn't Damian accidentally reveal Batman as Bruce Wayne to him? He asks Sexton/Joker if HE is Bruce Wayne, and Sexton/Joker just freezes up with that revelation. That's basically the same reaction Snyder's Joker has to Batman's real identity, that is, not caring in the end.
>>
>>83819721
Do you not understand how retcons work? No reader could have noticed the Joker was three people because until that issue, the Joker wasn't three people.

Someone with taste

>>83821528
Basically yes, except Morrisonfags call it shit when Snyder does it.

After Rebirth however, we don't even know if it's the same Joker.
