The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing

[Aahz]

I'm confused

spoilers:

The fake Joker is the one we've been following through the whole series and the real one is the one who was in LA?

Seems at least like it, I guess we get a full explanation in the next issue.

This isn't going to end well for Jason, is it ?

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Well, this was a complete waste of time and the only thing that was achieved was thoroughly assassinate Jason's character. Nothing was solved, everything was left at the same point that started and Rosenberg even had the gall to rub it on the reader's face.

Seriously what the hell is wrong with the Batman editors?

[NOCTPHOENIX]

So what was up with the multiple Jokers thing?

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Seems like not even Rosenberg knows

I hope Rosenberg never touches Jason or another Bat Book any time soon.

Hopefully, but chances are he will be in the Beast World Gotham anthology.

I actually liked this ending tbh One of the points of the Joker, in general, is that he's ultimately a bit of a random nobody who just happened to grow into what he is now due to happenstance, hence why many stories trat his backstory as somewhat meaningless when all is said and done. So this kind of ambiguity works for his character. Who the Joker was doesn't matter and never mattered, what matters is that he's the Joker now.

Yeah, but that wasn't the theme of the book, it was about who was the real Joker. By saying that didn't matter, then the whole book becomes entirely pointless.

And also some really bad usage/writing for Red Hood.

On Hand i currently don't see any of the regular writers at DC who really treats Jason much better.

The only recent story (outside of Anthology stuff) t´with Jason that wasn't a massive disapointment was imo "Legends of Gotham".
