How would Jason Todd react to this?

Unlikely allies

Write some dialogue for Jason Todd reacting to meeting an alternate version of the Joker who claims to be a superhero.


How would current main continuity Jason Todd react to meeting the Jokester, the old good guy version of the Joker, and what do you think would have to happen to convince the two unlikely allies to work together in the absence of other superheroes?

I may think the scene in Countdown to Final Crisis #31, where the Crime Society gangs up on them, and Jason thinks they are in so much trouble that he just gives up and says, "someone, just hit me with a crowbar now," and then the Earth 3 Jok(st)er shouts, "that's a cue if I ever heard one," and comes in with a trick mallet and basically saves everyone's bacon, is one of the funniest scenes ever printed in a comic book.

Alas, they rebooted Jason Todd, and the whole DC universe now, so that story is no longer part of the "official" continuity. Perhaps it was at least cute, though.

I might kind of like to read an Elseworld comic where the two team up...

I don't think current continuity Jason is much different than Countdown Jason, to be honest. He's maybe a bit more cold and less angry, but I don't remember that version much different that what we have now.

He’d hug him.

Considering Jokester had no part in Jason's death, and ISN'T a psychotic killer like Joker, and actually a good guy, Jason would let him be. Wouldn't willingly interact with him, but would let him be, regardless.

Fun fact, at some point Lobdell played with the idea of bringing the Jokester back and teaming him up with Jason.
