“I healed your greatest wound , so Now I can be your greatest pain” Legendary.

The Killing Joke Joker said it best "If I were to have an origin, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice."

If the Joker's wife was so terrified of her husband that the cops faked her death so she could escape him, doesn't that mean that he was always the Joker? Doesn't it mean that his dump in acid was just the push he needed to give in to the monster that was already inside him? That's how I took it anyway. Great review btw!!

Meanwhile, The Joker in Batman the Brave and the Bold: "I'm crazy, not stupid. Of course I knew he was Bruce Wayne"

This entire comic series needs to become a animated movie.

The janitor who sweeps up the JT note, is wearing the Joker purple, and it says “Funtime Cleaners”. The door is left open for that.

This story needs to become an animated movie with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill... Like now.

Not only does it confirm that The killing Joke was canon, but it also must confirm that Batman did NOT kill the joker at the end of The Killing Joke.

This also confirms that Batman didn’t kill joker at the end of the killing joke

Stuff like this can be a reminder of how good and pure Batman can be. This is the way he should be. Likeable and loveable even. A man that can look his parents' killer in the face and not only forgive him but save his life. Then when you think that's beautiful he takes it to a new level completely unforseen. Something you'll probably never see anyone do for their parents killer. Be at his bedside with him when he dies. This story contains a reminder of what superheroes should be in comics and comic adaptations.

"I healed your greatest wound so *I* can become your greatest pain." That the most Legendary punchline i ever heard

The Ultimate joke that Batman can pull on the Joker is if he made his son the next Robin.

My man Jason never gets a break...

Pros and Cons to this story: - We lose the mystery behind The Joker *But* - We gain official canonical lore about him

I loved this story arc. But out of everything, the biggest gut punch was knowing Barbara will never see that note. Everything blew my mind, but that one just hurt.

Okay, this was good.

10:52 look at where batman's eyes should be. Looks like a tear drop

Damn that's intense. That final confrontation between Joker & Batman in the vehicle is everything their relationship conflict is about. Joker needs Batman. It's the ying & the yang at its peak.

Imagine if Gordon didn't know and was just giving advice, and then Barbara says "Dad", and he's just standing there shocked, and like "What?"

My favorite part is that no matter how talented and smart Jason is, he couldn't figure out how to slide a love note under a door......or get decent scotch tape. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Three Jokers” Harley Quinn:

Barbara has been in a relationship with Dick, Bruce, Tim, and now they're teasing Jason. Am I the only one weirded out by this? I know they are different continuities but, it's definitely...

Three Jokers really focused on the Character development of Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood. The growth in character from Jason after he sees how Barbara kept her wheelchair, along with their sparked love interet was awesome! seeing a deep dive into her struggle was powerful and straight up tear jerking. plus finally seeing Batman move on by saving the life of his parents killer and being with him in his dying moments, like woa hella powerful. My only complaint is I wish they could've downplayed Barbara as a dougheyed sexual interest a bit, even if she is a goddess. This amazing character growth , ( AND AMAZING ARTWORK BY JASON FABOK AND BRAD ANDERSON, I MEAN SERIOUSLY THE COLORWORK IS NEXT LEVEL) are the reasons these books will be felt in the Batman world for years to come!

Imagine how cool a line during a story line dealing with the family In Alaska and batman says something like "I've been laughing for years" or "I played the joke on you."

I’m glad that this story confirms that jokers origins from the killing joke is canon.When finds out that his son and wife are Still alive all Hell is gonna break loose I mean that was partially why he became the joker and now that they are alive it’s almost like he became the joker for no reason

Imagine a “Three Jokers” animated movie? The comedian: Mark Hamill The clown: Troy Baker The criminal: John DiMaggio I would watch the hell out of that!

Geoff Johns is hands down one of DC’s biggest writers that have had the most impact. And Jason and Barbara could be really great together and I’m glad this story shows that to us. He’s been “Red Hood” for so long, when he could be SO much more and I would love a canon story that gets them together and causes Jason to grow and become more. Thought?

Loving the use of the original Red Hood costume, instead of the one which literally makes it easy for someone to bash him on the head from behind with a baseball bat or a crowbar, defeating the purpose of the hood.

I love how all the "comic book experts" trashed this ending because they never found out who the 3 jokers were while missing the entire point of the story.

It had a great ending. No one can deny it. And the fact that it's canon makes it even better.

The Killing Joke in hindsight- The Joker: It's all funny right. Batman in his head: Jokes on you. I know your wife and son in Alaska.

The Joker may be an awful person, but you gotta respect his determination to always have the last “laugh”

Guys this month went by quick

*Meanwhile in a realistic world: Judge: "Joker, I here by setence you to death penalty" Batman: well that was fast

“That’s why I regret making him, or did he regret making me”. Almost sounds like father and son. If the son jokerized his Dad 🤔😅.

The only thing the ending proves is that the killing joke is canon as one joker origin. We still have no orgin for the other two and the other two are older . The Comedian is from the 80s . The Clown is the silver age joker of the 60s. The Criminal is the golden age joker of the 40 50s . He is the oldest

In a twist the maintenance man is revealed to be Dick Grayson

Heath: the criminal Joaquin: the comedian Nicholson: the clown

Me after finishing the book: “Well that was fun! Who’s for Chinese!?”

Joker deadass said: "trust no one, not even yourself"

11:29 Batman, Joker, and the man who murdered Batman’s parents, all standing together in Crime Alley, in flames, while another Joker is lying dead in the exact same spot where Batman’s parents died

“The criminal was wrong, I am chaos, I am the devil, I am nothing to you and everything.” Felt this amazing writing in my backbone.

it’s just so weird how Nightwing has the most potential out of every superhero in DC but the writers hate him

The Joker knowing who Batman is but never revealing it and never ruining Batman for him is incredible. It defines Batman & Joker 🃏-🦇

Damn, this was an amazing story. This is going to go down as one of the modern DC Classics like Batman Hush.

If he thought he had a bad day the day he became the joker, just wait until he finds out his wife tricked him, the ultimate joke

I would say that I understand why The Killing Joke origin bring canon frustrates some fans because the ambiguity made him more intriguing, I also understand why it’s now canon. It’s hard to build upon Jokers story further without having a solid backstory to work from. The reveal in this story (even though it’s awesome) is probably going to be taken badly but it’ll make room for even more epic stories.

Bro, this series just became a instant classic. Sure it didn't answer every single question we had but what good comic does? This series is going up there with The Killing Joke, The Long Halloween, and the Court of Owls for me personally. Jesus Christ this was a good story.

Thank you for telling these comic book stories to all of us that haven't quite gotten into reading comics, but are still interested in the stories told.

I literally LOVE these videos, it’s like reading the comics but not having to spend too much time doing so, but you still get a gist of the story

“I healed your greatest wound so now i can be your greatest pain” Jesus joker is insane

Are you gonna go over the ‘Finish Line’ story from Josh Williamson’s Flash run?

This comic was so epic and almost mythological, truly brilliant.

Personally I think this whole story is just another one of Jokers "multiple choices." Wich means... The Jokers ships Jason and Barbera.

Alright plot twist: The joker ends up being Jason's dad 😳

I was really hoping for that history of Doctor Doom video to be released during villains month of this year. Oh well this year of villains month was still awesome. Great work guys

Man I loved this issue but I dislike that jokers wife is alive because she was simply avoiding him bc she was scared of him, that just doesn’t feel right to me. I liked the original origin in killing joke where joker was a good man and husband in the past who was just trying to find work to support them, but his wife’s death turned him and his sanity to the way side. I liked the aspect that joker was truly loved in his past and that it was stripped away from him, and that is what destroyed him. I always felt joker’s wife should always be his one grip to humanity, but since she’s dead then so is his humanity. I also loved how in killing joke she was supportive of joker despite his failing career as a comedian, and that is what it made it so tragic that she died. Joker’s one thing he loved, gone. The one thing that truly loved him, gone. Joker’s humanity, gone. Joker’s past, gone. All that remained once she died was every bit of him that she was not. All that was left was a miserable, intelligent, angry, and viciously bitter comedian. Then dropping joker in the acid was the last straw, the final push. The birth of the joker as we know him. I always liked how his killing joke origin mirrored Batman’s, Batman lost what he loved and plunged into his insanity by becoming a bat costumed hero. Joker lost what he loved and turned into a insane clown criminal. I dislike that this comic has joker as a more abusive husband that his wife avoided and left. That just doesn’t sit right with me for his origin. However maybe that sorrow of his wife never dying and just leaving will give joker some extreme pain and even more insanity when he finds out. Taking the love out of joker’s origin may just make him even more tragic if a villain and even more of a psycho. And what about his kid?! What’s gonna happen with that?!Who knows, either way this issue definitely leaves me excited for what’s next

this was a really good one, but im really upset that Barbra could never read the letter from Jason but i am happy his name wasnt revealed

I was really digging the criminal's design, looked like a proper gangster

These videos are my new Saturday morning cartoons you do such a good job making it feel like im watching a show

The story was very cerebral, and the ending was CRAZY!

Arris, i just love your storytelling. It's not easy for me to get comics, so i'm glad you can tell me these awesome stories. Greetings from Holland.

Twist: Joker didn't have one son, he had twins. The Gotham series Jokers now comes into play.

Jason and Barbara ending was brutal. Anyone else ship Jason and Barbara?

I feel super bad for Jason man he gonna never know how Barbra truly feels about him that’s so sad

wow. MIND BLOWN! which means in issue 2. when he was having dinner with his family. he still misses them to this very day.... shit that's so sad :(...

This series gave me chills throughout. What an amazing story!

So theoretically Batman could’ve put an end to the Joker by telling him his wife and child are alive possibly ending his rampage but he chooses not for the families protection and so he can keep the joker around

So if he always knew why did he even ask for the Jokers identity when he sat down in the Chair?🤨

Arris, you would be an awesome teacher. I honestly love the way you you present your evidence, explain it, and then deliver the reasoning behind it all. My students can learn a lot by your example.

This episode was edge of the seat amazing! Great one, Arris! 🤯

I’ve waited almost 3 years for these comics, worth the wait. They were special to say the least.

My favorite part was Jason straight saying that when he sees the joker, it’s on sight. This is why Jason is my favorite. He’s ready to do what’s needed and doesn’t care if it’s right with Batman

I think at this point joker wouldn’t care that his wife is alive

Weird seeing Batman’s new emblem on his suit. I kinda prefer the old rebirth one with gold outlines.

I loved this storyline, it was so good

Holy crap this was amazing. Now I can't wait for the future 3 jokers animated movie in like a decade

Y'all picked up the fact that his son looks exactly the same as the one he had in his hallucination in the earlier issue? It leaves me to believe that Joker already knows that his wife and kid are alive

Say what you will about this story line, but the idea that the joker would help Batman work through his greatest trauma only because the joker wanted to be the one who caused the Batman the greatest pain is the next level of insanity that I love from this

I’ve been waiting for this!

Jason's been through a lot. I'm hoping that, in the future, he gets his happy ending, hopefully with Artemis.

Out of all the "three jokers" vids i was searching (bcoz i was so curious about this storyline), i found yours to be most pleasing to watch. You weren't too fast, and when you narrated it showed the same panel in the comic which dialogue you were talking about. Some youtubers talk so fast, and add too much context it gets confusing. Cheers man. Here's a like on all 3 vids and a sub. Keep it up. 😀

This has to be one of the best if not the best story about the batman and joker thank you for showing us this awesome comic man

The whole time I'm watching and listening, my eyes are like O.O

I think the fact that Batman knows who the Joker is, and his origin is the one we saw in Killing Joke, confirms The Comedian is indeed the original one since he was the one having daydreams of his wife and child. I don't know how I feel about this story- my first thoughts were that it was somewhat underwhelming and didn't feel like something that was worth hyping up for years. Why would the Mobius chair say there were three Jokers when in the end Joker does have a true name and defined origin, one that Batman ALREADY KNEW? Having three Jokers turned out to be as unnecessary as I feared it would be. The Joker has had different motivations over the years, he's obsessed over different things and his crimes have varied dramatically depending on writers and what era of comics he was in. In Batman Arkham Asylum a Serious House on Serious Earth, this aspect of the Joker is explained by him having his own special brand of insanity where he changes how he is depending on his needs. I much prefer that, rather than just saying there was one Joker who is about certain things, and he made two other Jokers who are about different things. Rather than one unpredictable character who continuously reinvents himself deliberately, it's now just three characters with different ideals-- and then two of them die. They essentially streamlined the Joker and his motivations, which for some might be a good thing, but to me I like Joker being unpredictable. Confirming Joker's origin also felt unnecessary, idk that I ever needed that to happen.Again, it streamlines Joker and removes some of the mystery of the character. I didn't love how Barbara Gordon was used in this story. She's just kinda there. I also don't love how they made her a love interest for Jason. We've already seen her as Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and even Bruce Wayne's love interest over the years- can they not think of anything interesting to do with her besides being a romantic foil for one of the Bat-family dudes? I did like how Jason was characterized and was happy they incorporated how he's really separate from batman and the main Bat-family (even tho we only saw Babs and Bruce). Again tho I didn't love the romance with Barbara, and it felt weird that he just really really wanted to be with her here. I know what they were going for since both he and Babs have Joker related trauma in common, but still, I can't say I loved it. I did really like the Joe Chill part of the story. Joker going out of his way to actually have Bruce resolve his anger and vengeance towards Chill so that his origin would no longer be the biggest trauma of his life is really interesting, and probably the best idea here. I'm just not sure it required three Jokers to tell that story.

“This was so incredibly insane guys” ... well said my man ... well said !

Wow. I’m stunned to be honest. I had not heard of this story until today. Nice work!

What happened the to Batman the animated series comic

Wait a damn minute- If back in issue 2, the comedian imagined having dinner with his wife and child who look exactly like the do look like in issue 3... Would this mean that the Joker could possibly already know that his wife and child are alive, but doesn't care cause Batman is his main obsession??

Omg, I need a nap after this video! Such a good video!

This series can quite literally explain the several iterations joker to every exist. This has got to be one of the best Batman comics ever

Dang it, I saw this in my recommended and now I need to watch all of them

I agree that it would be cool to see a relationship between Red Hood and Batgirl. Sadly, we won't get to see it any time soon.

I love watching this man geek out so hard!

What I wanna see next is what will happen when “Killing Joke” Joker realizes that his wife faked her death because she no longer loved him and was scared of forever being with him. Even Batman himself is saying that Hell will break loose if Joker finds them.

This issue is amazing just the fact that Bruce had knew after all these years, also I’m kinda sad cause now I feel like we’ll never see a Jason/Barbara relationship but idk they’ll come up with something

Overall, I enjoyed the story. As for the ending, I'm a bit on the fence about it. The Jaybabs relationship honestly makes sense. Both met through Bruce, both have had traumatic experiences with the Joker, and both have gotten stronger from their pain. Though I prefer Barbara with Dick, Jaybabs is a neat spin on Batgirl x Robin. Also, where did you get your shirt?

It's not official that Killing Joke was actually his origin. It only shows that he may have suffered from some Split-Personality disorder. We all know The Joker's suffering from a split personality. The question is, did he always ? Or did it start because of the acid vat he fell into ? When he was a regular human, did he *genuinely* believe he was good to his wife ? Or did he know he abused her and just forgot about it because of his... "condition" ???

You are amazing story teller, I love it. Thank u

When do you think we will see Red Hood and Batgirl make their live action debut in the DCEU? Which actors do you think should play them?
