Rob said "inhuman" without saying "Blackbolt" or "sucks" directly after... That's growth

If Daniel was the smartest man in the world, I'd hate to meet the dumbest. He sees a clown man and thinks "...But what if I made him scarier?"

I'm still a hardcore believer that the joker shouldn't have a solid backstory, it makes him more mythical like Batman if no one knows who he actually used to be or how he became the joker we all love to hate today

Joker's dad The Drinker

Oh man, I can't wait for when they introduce the brother of the Joker, he should have a really menacing name, like Melvin or something like that

Love the Heath Ledger Joker reference with the line “I hated my father!” Legendary

Joker locks the door before saying "Manners maketh man" and freebird starts playing

I really dig the idea of a separate personality that you can consciously draw out to help you when you need it. It reminds me of a mini-documentary I watched about the personas that professional fighters call on in the ring. The average person doesn't have it in them to casually beat someone bloody into unconsciousness, sometimes fighters disassociate themselves with the person they are everyday vs the person they have to be, often accepting the nicknames or ring names as a separate person. You might not be the strongest, the fastest, the toughest mofo walking, but that guy wearing your skin when you step in the ring is, he's got this. I think they used Mike Tyson as an example, can't remember, but it was like Mike Tyson is just a man, but Iron Mike...woe be to the man who has to face Iron Mike, the baddest man on the planet.

I'm still waiting for DC to come out and say batman is the joker the whole time

When Rob J. uses the redhood gang to adequately describe how the los angeles sheriff's department works Without even knowing it. LMAO

The joker should never have an origin, the fact we know NOTHING about him, is part of the appeal, his is almost like a force of nature, chaos made incarnate.

Every time a new origin story/ammendment (GOOD ones) comes out, it's a new way to enjoy a classic ensemble. I almost always love new origin stories.

To everyone who didn't read the book. Daniel isn't the Jokers actual father, he speaking metophrically. And even in the issue Daniel finds out that The Joker night have even tricked him in order to learn from him. And people acting upset that they made someone his dad are missing the actual details. (And well didn't read the book I guess)

I gotta say out of all the joker beginnings this this is a masterpiece I never really understood what they were tryna do with the three joker but this is so much better

I prefer this over the musical that is coming to theatres. That aside this fixed some blank spots in the Three Joker's story line.

So basically 1.The 60 joker 2.Animated Joker 3. The Dark Knight joker

His dad must be even crazier than him!

Quoting CJ from GTA SA. Oh shit, here we go again

Honestly the Joker needs to go back to being just a crazy guy who makes fucked up jokes (that kills a bunch of people) and commits crimes because he thinks they're funny. I'm tired of the "Super Joker" we've been having in comics for years now. He's literally just a crazy guy

@7:17 reminds me of the King Ramses Curse episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog 😂

I absolutely love Joker stories. I love the Batman and Joker stories, man. It is always good to have something different. Something different like the villains winning or a hero dying or different things like that to build up drama and suspense and actually draw people in. However, with Joker stories, Joker actually wins if you look at it. Joker is not as simple as other villains. Other villains, they are relatively simple, and they have simple goals, such as conquering the world or the universe, killing a certain hero, or robbing a bank. Those are relatively simple goals. And with those goals, those villains will fail if the villains stop them or capture them or whatever. With Joker, yes Joker might do some wild and crazy things from time to time like killing a bunch or people with guns or joker toxin, or robbing a bank, or even poisoning the water supply, things like tha. However, despite all of those plans that Joker makes, his goal is not really to achieve any of them. Joker's only goal is to mess with Batman. Joker will only do things to get Baman's attention and draw Batman to him. Joker's only goal is to mess with Batman. Joker doesn't want money. Joker doesn't want Batman dead. Joker loves the cat and mouse game that he and Batman play. Joker's only real goal is to mess with Batman. Just like in Batman Death of the Family comics or the comics where Joker seemingly cut off the faces of the Bat-Family and he asked Batman why doesn't Batman kill him and after that he basically explains that as long as he is alive he is winning. And with everything that he does, poisoning people, killing people, stealing things, whatever, it really doesn't matter if Batman stops him and captures him and throws him in jail/prison, because as long as he gets Batman's attention and Batman is focused on him and he just gets to mess with Batman, then he is achieving his goal. So he is succeeding, which means he is winning. Joker is just getting what he wants all of that time, so really Joker wins. That is what I really like about Joker stories because they are different from other villain stories. Joker is a villain who *never* loses.

It's interesting that they still subtley try to incorporate the Pale Man idea into his backstory. Something they borrowed from IT. It doesn't really make sense for Joker origin. But there was potential there for something.

The writing wasn’t too and, but The Joker does NOT need an origin! He works better mysterious .

This reminds me of a moment from the Killing Joke where Joker says something along the lines of: If I'm going to have an origin story, I prefer it to be multiple choice

I absolutley love this. I pulled and read each of these issues. I enjoyed them. But hearing Rob explain it with his enthusiasum just fired me up so much. I will re-read them again now. I love it man. Batman the night is an all time Bats story and it ties to this perfectly. Man...got me again Rob, Thanks brother.

Absolutely a must have for the collection.

Nice I love comics

The door scene reminds me of the mask how they don't take him seriously until he starts killing everyone

I wouldn't say he trained the joker to be the joker as some are saying. I'd say he gave the Joker tools to make him better. I like this idea.

Ya know, I always really liked how joker was pretty much a boogeyman in a way. Almost too unhuman to be human. His past being such a mystery especially in endgame. But this, this humanizes him and kills his image for me. But that’s just me.

Pimpin great video as always. Can you please do a video on Batman's information connectors? Does he have a secret organization that only works for Batman?

This was awesome

With this, another "reboot" of Joker's origin story, I'm reminded of an infamous quote from the OG Joker origin story: The Killing Joke. "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!"

This evil doctor's statement that we can "be whatever we want" comes across a lot like that cartoon "Monster".

Yo this was dope

This shit almost made me cry even before you started speaking bro 😔. It feels like I lost a family member…

Rob... I hope this ain't too outa place but u gotta show some love to Akira Toriyama... He's that big. RIP to a Legend

Awesome

I'd love to see more of the "focus" personality of Joker. That's a really terrifying version of him thats interesting to see how he acts.

i like how this joker has the white dot eyes from the animated batman joker

I'll give it a read bc the story is good and the art too

rob please answer this. @ 5:50 you say "in service of something greater". Are they talking about trigon? isnt there a story that said gothams crime problem is because of some ritual involving trigon a long time ago? what are your thoughts?

I love this. I heard about Batman The Knight and read it for myself. I don’t know what to read following that if I get the name of this coming series I can read it now. I love Batman, and comics in general but I’ve always found it hard to read anything besides one shots, miniseries, or self contained stories like DCeased. It is very difficult because starting to read any comic I like then they site other comics/events, and managing chronology is hard on my own. Thats why I read manga any stories I’m into are self contained, and while they might have sequels or retcon certain things it’s still single characters contained to a single story unlike comics where other characters with their own long running series and lore crossover with one another. That’s why I wish I knew about DC Rebirth/New 52 when they relaunched making it more friendly for new readers I would’ve started reading then but “sigh” it’s too late.

This story is AMAZING!!!!!! 💥

Can you do a Merged Sentry vs Superboy prime video

Joker in a hoodie and sweat pants😂😮

I had to watch this Joker meeting his father Is a thing to watch

I like it. I wish you covered that other scene in the story( the joker jokerized the entire planet earth).

NGL this story actually pretty 🔥

R.I.P Akira toriyama 🌹🌹

I NEVER would've thought that THE Joker himself, actually meets his father in person in this Comic.

Haha nice with the Bronx tale reference

I'm not sure you can get more intimidating them smiling while walking into a room with people, closing the door behind you, and then locking it.

This some real joker shit....bout time. Love it.

This guy would be super handy for me. Pick and choose when my did happens? Awesome.

One of the better and more enjoyable origin stories of the Joker as well as Batman.

this opens the door for us to FINALLY meet Melvin Melvin, Brother of the Joker Melvin Melvin, Brother of the Joker Melvin Melvin, Brother of the Joker

Changed the title fast huh rob 😂 thought about it

Is there a full series for this story? Can we cover it?

Daniel literally said hey i made a such a good super hero i needed to make a villain for him so he doesn't get bored

Sounds like an interesting story.

Add on to a continued already laid out origins story. Enhance and play up upon.

Only in the comics,can cops get in trouble from with video evidence...

Oh god, am I excited for this video

...rememeber that time he told Harley quin about his father. and how he was beaten? or given scars?

The Joker is 6'5" & 191lbs in canon; J's length, reach, unpredictable combat style, inhuman pain tolerance, & hving Batman as his sparring partner are what makes The Joker so formidable at H2H CQC. The Joker could kill or at least defeat more than half of the DC Universe in H2H CQC. Joker is very underrated at combat.

Feels criminal to be this early robcore

we really don't need a back story for the joker.

Cannon or not it's a good story and thats all i care about, did it bring me joy and did i feel like i lost time by reading/watching something?

dumb question. so like, did Joker unlock 3 other Personalites, or only 2? IE Which one is the "original" and which 2 were unlocked

ive always had questions about how joker could take beatings from batman, i think this works in terms of origins

The Jokers Father still alive?

The power to compartmentalize is a superpower too, right.....right?

Better content, finally.

daniel is such a self insert is crazy

3:39 no, it was not "like a comedic concept"

top tier villian hands down, him and Darkseid

I like this Origin story 🔥🔥

So is this option c of the multiple choice origin?

Beyond omega level: The Divine Creator

I actually like this story of joker honestly

Now Rob...you know you wrong for this click bait title😂

I can’t wait for the origin in 2 years

We need more multiple origin story characters like the joker 😂. I love the idea of a character having no define origin / beginning and letting the viewer decide individually.

How come I feel like I've watched this before? 🤔

Finally the reveal the Batman and Joker are brothers.

Waiting for Zdarsky run full story, it'll probably end in 1 or 2 yrs.

Joker: would you laugh with me?, I'd laugh with me, I'd laugh with me hard..so hard

"Here ya go. You just *control* your *insanity* . That's all. A little meditation... I say some grandiose bullshit... maybe we take our shirts off.... bada boom bada bing." This sounds like a hilariously bad story.

This story would have been a good Arkham game

😂 Man this is different when joker explained about his dad back at the Harley Quinn animated series 😮

Joker Ak in one hand and a flashbang in the other.😱

Jim Gordon alwaaaysss rooting out corruption lmfao

whoa what happens next?

Never wanted to see a story about Joker and his dad🤦🏽‍♂️glad I stopped reading and collecting comics.

When the Red Hood gang becomes the Strike Team 😆

Love the DC content. DC top 20 most powerful characters hierarchy please.

Why? Just why? Leave some mysteries

I'm not mad at it, but I think this whole story would have been a great way to prop up new characters.

I actually really like this so far.
