On to Issue 2! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbKqhZeVrZbVpIE.html

I love how everyone puts their own spin on Thomas and Martha's murder, but nobody ever violates Frank Miller's decision that Martha was hit in the necklace.

Towards the end of Joker’s crowbar attack, Jason would be barely conscious or unconscious, so the Joker could claim he said anything and Jason wouldn’t know. I have been avoiding Joker war due to Joker overload, but I really enjoyed this issue.

Shout to Sasha for making sure the content keeps flowing while she's literally bringing life into the world. You deserve to reap all the rewards your seeking for this channel.

Commissioner Gordon is giving Batman a disapproving look about Barbara because of the animated Killing Joke 😉

My biggest issue is that Babs and Jason were attacked the same year-the first time we ever see her in a wheelchair is at his funeral, for crying out loud! How can those have been two different Jokers?!

When Jason Fabok tweeted you can "take or leave," the Killing Joke I believes he means the Joker's backstory specifically because the Joker is an unreliable narrator. You said yourself people enjoy the Joker's backstory to be "multiple choice," which the Joker would agree with, and even in the pages of Killing Joke mentions that this is only how he recalls events some of the time. I think Jason Fabok means that Three Jokers is going to be left intentionally vague so in the end you can either accept or reject the three Joker theory, the same way you can accept or reject the Joker's backstory the way its presented in Killing Joke.

I love that Hal's construct chair has a construct bag of chips :D also , totally stealing "sass-quatch" . that's freakin awesome . greetings from Ottawa

Glad we can all come together and enjoy Jason being drawn like an absolute snack....nearly makes up for how much this book made me cry about him YET again....please DC, just let my poor boy be happy for five minutes.

So there is a theory that in this canon the Joker didn't kill Jason, but nearly did, hence why Jason has scars on the back of his head; and the Joker talks about taking him to the edge. Discuss!!

It’s kinda fuvked up that they popped the tire on the ambulance they probably could of just asked them to pull over and they could yank out Jason

Are we getting a video on Sebastian's cheetah, I'm praying

8:55 Alfred: "What was it this time?" Sasha's Batman Voice: "AN UMBRELLA!!!" Have not stopped laughing, well done!!!

jason todd did the thing i wanted him to do for years.

11:36 - "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." - Oscar Wilde

I have a great idea. You haven't touched Damien Wayne yet.... Wait.... That came out wrong.

Sasha, checking out Jason now 😱 Dick Grayson disappointed 😭😭

"Three Jokers, it's not, that's impossible! " Joker: (stonefaced) Mmmhmmm I maybe tired of Jokers, plural, at least this was actully alright, plus I get to see Batgirl in a good costume, it's been awhile, and nice to see Jason all caked up, Dick is a bit of a pig, hogging all those slices.

I hope the actor from titans is young jason and the the actor how play red hood in under the red hood comes back

Welp... there goes another treadmill 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm also in the liking it more than I expected camp, mostly because having this and Joker War at the same time proved that I'm able to get a little bit of Joker Fatigue which I didn't think was possible, usually I'm down to clown pretty constantly, and guess when they're both at least interesting, still am. Just really wish they weren't coming out at the same time...

0:26 "Grandma Sasha, what are you laughing at?" "Oh dearie- I'm never getting out of this chair!"

I bought the Killing Joke when it came out. It was originally a Elseworlds book. When the brought it in to continuity the impression was that they didn't bring the entire story in. Barbara got shot, much of the rest of the story was not acknowledged, however. Probably because they weren't considered appropriate for an all ages book (The Killing Joke was a "mature readers" book). Barbara was a good representative because she was never intended to be one. My objection to making Barbara Gordon Batgirl again is the simple issue that she was a much better character as Oracle than she was as Batgirl. The existence of Oracle contributed deeply to the existence of Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordan, Batman, Nightwing, anybody who happened to be Robin that week, and any character who had taken up the cape and cowl of Batgirl. Personally I think Stephanie Brown was the best Batgirl as the editors on the Bat-books never let the writers of Cassandra Cain's book give her a personality.

This sounds cool so far. Jason finally gets to kill a Joker. Must have felt good. Good for Jason I think that Joker was just making stuff up to get to Jason. That is simply what the Joker does.

I am in the camp of "UGH JOKER" generally, but I like where the comics have been going lately. They can keep the focus on him in the comics, and put it away in the films, and I'll be happy.

Trying to give Comicstorian a run for his money with those voices, huh?

So I'm guessing there was no (Bat-Shark-Repellent) in this story?

Plot twist: Sasha is the fourth Joker.

My favorite part was the little nods to their physical appearances like how the Death in the family Joker was distinctly thinner which was meta wise due to how they chose to draw him at the time Or the fact that they add a significant amount of age lines to the original and he isn't stuck in a permanent smile and seems to be very methodical about how he's going about this

I was a kid when Killing Joke came out It was very awesome and fresh at the time The Image of Joker laughing hysterically after coming out of the chemicals grabbing his hair Every kid wanted that on a Tee Shirt

I am gonna miss this Joker though. The acid flowers and throwing cards will always be iconic

DC Continuity has gotten so bad, EVERYTHING is take or leave.

Loved this issue, can't wait for more and I loved how Joker and Todd's relationship was depicted in this

Definitely agree with the elseworlds thing. My favorite things seem to be either vintage or elseworlds in comics. My heart goes all happy if someone mentions Flashpoint, M2, or 2099. Still, even as an alternate take 3 Jokers feels like diluting the one. Am I supposed to really accept the world's greatest detective never picked up on fighting 3 different people? And if they are going to that extreme, why not lampshade the ridiculousness and make it a council of Jokers. Joker clone saga! Joker Corps!

I don't think I want a "three Jokers" that is actually three different physical dudes. Even so, I've loved pretty much all of the Black Label stuff, so I'm in for the ride on this one. It's good, but I'm hoping there's more to this than it literally having been three different guys this whole time. I'm a big fan of the Pale Man from Joker Ghost Stories (Endgame), so I was kinda wanting to see that factor in. Who knows? Maybe it will.

"He's got untrademarked fish! Get him!"

Yes. My God. Why is nobody else saying The Killing Joke being canon is not up to us in response to Fabok? Thank you.

"Hurts like a crowbar to the head." - SAVAGE

You’re one of the best KZfaqrs ever. I love every video you post. So thorough and witty.

I'm in the not caring all that much camp. I like what I like and I dislike what a dislike. I honestly couldn't care less whether or not certain stories are "canon" as that is in a near constant state of flux. DC comics for example has been around for nearly a century so of course the continuity is gonna be a hot mess after all that time.

The "three Jokers" reveal that came at the end of New52 didn't fash me at all. If anything, it intrigued me. Batman is supposed to be THE detective. THE! And he didn't trip to there being three Jokers? How did that puddin' just slip past his all seeing self? So, intrigued. This first issue was well done. The art was pretty well paced for the story, and the writing was on the mark. Awaiting the next issue.

This is far better than I expected it to be.

I read it the minute I brought it home and it was one of the best comics I ever read! Also thanks for The Mask reference. One of the most underappreciated comic book films ever made.

I died laughing when you accused batman of stealing his nemesises clothes.....the image of him stripping them down and stuffing the clothes in one of his batpockets.....

3:30-3:42 You might not be able to make everyone happy, but there's often an often-overlooked happy medium, or at least, certainly, better alternatives to some decisions. For example, if they wanted Babs to be an ambulatory Batgirl again, there were ways to do that *without* erasing or atrociously reinventing/retconning her successors.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I miss Oracle. I've never forgiven DC for turning Barbara back into Batgirl. And not just because she was far more inspiring and unique and believable as Oracle, though all of that's true. But also because it's symptomatic of major publishers' stubborn adherence to nostalgia that constantly regresses characters, eliminating progress in favor of perceived archetypes. It's why Poison Ivy had to split up with Harley Quinn and be a villain again. It's why Hal Jordan bounced back from being Parallax and became Green Lantern again. It's why Barry Allen is the Flash again. It's why Peter Parker is single again. It's why Batman couldn't marry Catwoman. It's why Dick Grayson couldn't stay Batman. It's why Jason Todd is alive. And it's why Barbara Gordon is now just another costumed acrobat jumping around kicking people with legs so super good that she DESTROYS TREADMILLS. The list goes on and on and on as character progression circles a vast drain. I get so tired of it. Stories are meant to go places! Where's the thrill? What does it matter if a woman can grow up, get shot, lose the use of her legs, create a new crime-fighting career, lead a team of heroines, and then give it all up so she can go right back to hopping across rooftops? I loved Oracle. I loved Harley and Ivy being hero girls together! I grew up with Wally West as the Flash, carrying on the legacy of a hero who nobly sacrificed himself. And I really liked some of the other Batgirls, too. But I guess it was all just a passing fad. Oh, look, the whole DC multiverse is exploding again. Come back next Spring. They'll have new costumes for a few months! There's something to be said for movies and TV. At least they can't stop the actors from aging. That's one thing that Marvel Studios understands.

Honestly, not a big fan of the idea that Jason would have offered to be Joker's robin. Jason doesn't seem like one to even beg for his life, let alone work for his enemy.

I noticed that, when reading the Joker, I hear YOUR voice for him in my head instead of Hamill’s 😂

The Arkham Knight writer would like some credit for that reveal at the end of how far Jason got broken...

I remember buying Killing Joke when it came out. At the time I wasn't burnt out on the Joker like I ended up being so it was good then. I suspect I never bought into the Alan Moore hype.

"I've had stories I really enjoyed MESS UP CANON FOR YEARS" This... This really makes me feel represented as a comic book fan.

I am in Love with this Comic and Jason Fabok is Incredibly Talented in his art. Thanks Sasha. Love the Channel

"Take that, Dick!" Punctuation is very important

18:15 Damn Rich Little your impression was on point!

Ooh, a longer video. I stan.

heyyy I was the one that left that comment bout Jason suffocating! I legit saw in a comic(probably under the red hood or lost days) that they showed his death certificate and it said he suffocated, so yeah also wow I was also wary of this comic but it seems to be kinda cool so far?? I hope you do more of it XD

I want this to impact canon. My pet theory, which will probably be proven wrong with this series, is that every time there's been a multiverse reboot a new Joker comes about. They don't get folded into each other or fade from existence because the Joker is hyperaware. He knows of the 4th wall, and knows he's a character in a comic book, so things like editorial mandate and changed worlds amount to nothing for him. Also, that the Jokers, knowing this, work together because they think they can put on a better show for the fans.

Absolutely love your channel! Stumbled into it my accident and so happy I did

"A...or B? Forehand...or backhand?"

Come along... you belong... to the cult of coo-coo cola.

Sasha: I'm always down for Batman fighting a shark. Batman: Robin, hand me the shark repellent.

I’m loving the longer videos with better analysis 🤩😋

I’ve been binging so. So. Many of your videos. I am in love with how much the second issue of Harley Quinn black white and red when originally you thought it might be forgotten. Ahhh I love all your videos.

I can't personally see Jason saying something like the "I'll be your robin" thing, I just see him as far too stubborn for it. But I do think that line still works purely because he was being hit in the head and there's a lot that happened in between then and now. It's entirely possible he doesn't remember all the details. So Joker could very well be saying Jason said that just to play into the probability that Jason doesn't remember everything and couldn't be sure he didn't say that. I think that would be just as tormenting.

5:17 If it were really "the 90's or something", it would have been drawn/ruined by Erik Larsen. Yeah, I went there. And yeah, I know that he scribbled for Marvel. Probably because DC wouldn't have touched him with a 12-foot Ukranian. 5:42 I was gonna say you'd be a Wendigo coming from Canada, but I checked. Sasquatch was part of Alpha Flight, so you're golden =]

19:03 I adore the art in this panel. It gives me major Clarice Starling FBI training vibes and I am here for it.

I love your videos so much !! I’m just getting into comics and your videos are so fun and helpful! Thanks for doing what you do!!!😊

Off I go to read the issues of Batman on the know-it-all chair. You're right, Sasha. As soon as they know someone needs to sit on it, he makes a bee-line for the chair. He is clearly happy as a clam. I love Jordan calling him on calling it 'my chair' three seconds after he sits down. Clearly he would count himself a happy Bat to just have that chair and know everything. Also, his black outfit blends in very well with the chairs colour scheme.

Unrelated and a year late but I really like Jasons costume here- it’s darker and more disconnected from the Bat Family which suits the story well

"...and he's got untrademarked fish! Get him!" Hilarious.

We need to remember the after learning there were 3 jokers Bruce never asked how many batmen were there. Depending on how medha it gets we could find out that there were 4 or 5 Batman dealing with 3 or more jokers. I just blew my own mind .

Great channel. Thanks for the video!

Just read it, thinking about how back in the 90's there was Tangent Comics, great read btw, and in that world there were 3 jokers. Did was this an old 90's idea that they never did? Was this some kinda internal secret that they have been wanting to reveal for decades? Did they accidentally or purposely rip of the tangent story? Or is it just a coincidence? Inquiring minds want to know!

I just finished reading a comic series called Invinsible, I would love to hear your perspective on literally anything to do with it.

Well this is intriguing! The mystery of why there are three Jokers,why they work together so well,and why this doesn’t feel like over-saturation. Part of the Joker’s allure has always been that we (and Batman) don’t know who he is. In contrast to Bruce Wayne,a prominent member of society, he’s a nobody. Or anybody. That’s the point. Does the presence of a number 2 require the presence of a number 1? Regarding the other stories, it does beg the question: what is cannon -this week? Some of the Elseworlds books in a previous continuity were relegated to being different Earths. Gotham By Gaslight/Amazonia was Earth 19. Kingdom Come 22, etc. No wonder it’s multiple choice. Also when did Batgirl take a shot? What did I miss?

I was nervous about this three jokers story, but I'm kinda interested now. Thanks for the review Sasha!

In love with the official Casually Batman Voice. More dialog readings please.

omg! I love your eyeshadow on this one!! 💛 and it matches the shirtttt 😫

10:12 Chaos War is also a Marvel event where Hercules fought Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the Chaos King.

Enjoyed both the comic and your commentary, but now I really wonder if the next issue will be called Two Jokers, since you know, Jason took the shot and boy did he!

So far looks awesome!

Thank you for commenting the same thing I thought about when you mentioned how many scars Batman has and no one seems to notice them.

Having it be an Elseworlds would make it a lot less messy.

Love your hair!

love the new hair style god bless you and the new lil comic connoisseur

I'm mixed about the ending with Jason's note getting sweeped away, but the art is amazing. Especially love how Batgirl is drawn here

Whoah, nice eyeshadow/shirt match! Looks awesome!!

A good read. It was good to have a Batman story where the violence is not nice, and leaves scars. Which is as it should be. Hopefully it will end up being something more than a project that ties up loose continuity. I have read the occasional doctor who story like that and thought at the end 'did we really need to know that?'. The art was gorgeous. It's hard to reconcile what's going on here with Joker war, but I think this is the kind of thing, like Killing Joke, that will stand alone but be referenced in everything else further down the line. Looking forward to part two.

Wow so cinematic with that sudden gun shot!

Great vid and breakdown

Great analysis, and your best hair yet :D

Please complete the Cheetah series by making a video on Sebastian Ballesteros, the male Cheetah 🐆!!!

This... You... You are amazing x Thankyou

"Sas-squach" 🤣 I'm going to use that!

People gate-keeping Joker and I'm not here for it. DC doing something daring with the character and I like that.

Woah! I love how striking your hair is!

Your hair looks amazing! Very Harley Quinn/Punchline

Your pronunciation of the word "spoilers" is my second favorite. My first is from River Song.

The cold open was a third of the video. I approve of that sort of opening.
