Joker has had it with more than one version of himself.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Spoilers for The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #10!In 2020’s Batman: Three Jokers, it was revealed the Joker had a pair of doppelgängers running around the DC Universe who, for years, had helped him execute his villainous agenda against the citizens of Gotham City.
Pulling the curtain back on three distinct Jokers called “The Criminal,” “The Clown,” and “The Comedian” to explain the Clown Prince of Crime’s ever-evolving evil tendencies, Batman: Three Jokers, by Geoff Johns, Jason Fabok, and Brad Anderson, was a three-issue arc that dived head-first into a story met with critical acclaim yet a mixed fan response.
Killing off two of these characters in brutal fashion, The Comedian is eventually left as the lone Joker in DC Comics, making this an intriguing if ultimately unsatisfying tale, with the Joker now telling fans point-blank that the idea of having more than one of him — a la Three Jokers — is “just dumb.
Not specifically calling out Three Jokers by name but rather drawing criticism towards the entire idea it hangs its narrative on, Joker being perturbed that someone else is making themselves out to be his equal makes far more sense than him sharing murderous duties with another version of himself, let alone two.
The Idea of Three Jokers' Storyline Is Called Out By Joker And although Three Jokers’ narrative began back in 2015’s Justice League: Darkseid War after Batman asked Joker’s true name while sitting on the Mobius Chair, it all turned out to be a bit anticlimactic and head-scratching in the end, with “Dying Is Easy, Comedy Is Hard!” proving there only ever needs to be a single Clown Prince of Crime at a time.
