[@nicholasaugello2534]

Even though Joker actually is aware of who batman really is he literally See's him as batman regardless.

[@commonviewer2488]

There are three fears in Joker's nightmare: 1. Winning Effortlessly 2. Mundanity 3. Having none of it matter anyways.

[@HamboneyGamezYT]

I respectfully disagree to your third point ...because he Knows None of it matters anyways ...I think the fear is He had no purpose anymore... It matters so much that he can't even be himself without his other half...

But Jokers whole ideology is that nothing actually matters. I get what you mean though. Joker believes that nothing actually matters but he doesn’t want people to agree with him. If no one cares then the joke isn’t funny anymore. The joke is that people do care even though they shouldn’t.

[@Moh4a4d]

Joker's nightmare isn't just that Batman is gone. It's that no one is resisting against him. Joker is an agent of chaos. He wants to fight. He wants to have consequences. But when his plans just succeed, he hates it. The boat scene is a big one. He got uranium so easily that he just got bored. Hell, he said it in the start of the comic. It's not about winning.

[@thewolfenknight37]

When he was jumped by the goons he was excited for the fight. But once his former hinchman showed up and ended it before the fight could start he god bored again

[@vullord666]

So he’s literally just an attention seeking brat? So all Gotham PD and the batfam needs to do is ignore him and he’ll literally just go away?

[@Gorypaladin346]

​@@vullord666honestly yeah, sometimes that's all it takes

[@mathiasmies7341]

​​@@Gorypaladin346I mean sure I guess if he's like threatening destroy his Legos? But his schemes are like planting bombs. How do you just ignore that? "Oh don't worry let him kill a few thousand people, he'll get bored when he realizes we're not coming after him." Obviously this is why it's a comic book flaw, but yeah, if you have the resources to plant bombs at highly secure and trafficked areas, there's no way you can just "be ignored" if you're threatening lives.

[@PhirePhlame]

And then the Batman and Bruce still being in the news (many versions of Joker know Bruce is Batman but refuse to acknowledge it) is itself another fear of his: that, no matter what he does, even if it's as earth-shattering as killing Batman, that dreaded sense of normalcy is still just around the corner. The mark he's left didn't last, so to him it may as well have never been left at all. Thus, if that's how the aftermath of such a thing turns out, then from his perspective it calls into question what the point even is. I guess, in that sense, the Batman he fought in this nightmare was a metaphor for his whole sense of purpose.

[@legogoka-boomstudio1838]

I think his real nightmare isn’t “a life without Batman” but the idea that no matter what he does or doesn’t do, the world will change a little, revert, and continue to spin with him left to the dust.

[@legogoka-boomstudio1838]

I know that is essentially what comicstorian said with “normalcy” but it’s still good to more definitely state based off other comments

[@kingjulian.r5748]

​@@legogoka-boomstudio1838I like your definition more because it explains why he doesn't care that "Batman" is out fighting crime and Joker just doesn't care

[@Batt-man]

That gives joker a lot more depth wow

[@joit905]

Yeah, I also think that this is his fear. Though Batman is important imo Joker can live and be Joker without him, Batman is just the best entertainment Joker has found...and maybe not getting killed or being somehow neutralized for good, while leaving him alive

I think one of the worst aspects of this was Joker didn't even kill Batman. It was a freak accident that that caused Batman to die, NOT Joker. This all powerful superhero that Joker's been feuding with for years, died by slipping on the floor. This is the equivalent of reaching the finals to a competition you been prepping for years, only for the other guy to forfeit because he got hurt prior to the finals and you won. How would you feel after that?

[@daniel-w9n9f]

The Joker preaches chaos and meaninglessness, but deep down the concept terrifies him. The idea that the hero or villain could just trip and die with zero fanfare would be any entertainer's worst nightmare.

[@bragnir]

Worse, still- even afterwards, his actions and words had 0 consequences. Nothing he did mattered at all. Joker's an attention seeker who thrives in being the source of chaos to eeryone's lives. Having everyone around him laughing it off and no repercussions come out of his actions- to the point where there's even another Batman who doesn't care about him, terrifies Joker. At the end of the day, in this nightmare, HE lost Batman... But, everyone else, did not.

[@Sanquinity]

@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 I do feel like any story trying to depict the Joker as some incredibly strong super villain is completely missing the point of him. And I think batman basically being top dog among dozens of superheroes with actual superpowers is stupid too. He was supposed to just be a masked human. One with gadgets, wits, intelligence, and skill, but still just a human. And "every man's hero" taking down human level threats. Instead he pretty much became "the guy who can take down anyone else if he has enough time to make a plan". That's how I would still like my batman and joker to be. A human level superhero and villain. But they've both become too popular to ever be that again.

That is what makes it all a nightmare. Harley once successfully caught and captured Batman.. very easily. And when presented to the Joker, he got mad and ended up letting him go. There wasn't any cameras or showy flashy things, no grand standing, no fear or public display.. it was a simple trick and some ropes.. and Joker hated all of it. He wants *everyone* to know when he finally wins.. and if they don't, he doesn't care and will try again later.

[@Sanquinity]

is it just me or does he kind of resemble patrick bateman in this nightmare? the way he doesnt even try to hide or decieve other's with his intentions, but they just dont take him seriously, the way he seems to just get away with it and he just complacently accepts his empty victory, it remind's me of his worst nightmare in the Arkham games, it was simply being forgotten, phasing away into just a bad memory, while Batman continues to flourish and his ultimate victory is utterly hollow

[@NovaWolfe]

Harley Quinn by HBO Max also captured the idea of No Batman/No Joker pretty well I think. When Scarecrow unmasked Bruce, Joker was not only furious but disappointed. We literally watch him cope by taking over Gotham, but it's not the same. (At this point Batman also was hospitalized after trying to use some new Iron Bat armor) and eventually Joker just winds down to being a stepfather

[@commonviewer2488]

He still finds a way to mess with Bruce by becoming a socialist mayor, and has the man arrested on legitimate terms

[@unnamed1613]

You can think about the Harley Quinn series what you want, but all characters are spot on. Even if they often act goofy for the sake of comedy, they are still act very in-character. Especialy during the times Harley shows that she has a PhD and gives characters like Bruce what they needed all along... therapy.

[@NovaWolfe]

@unnamed1613 Much agreed. I saw someone once say they think the show is just what living in Gotham is like from Harleys POV even when we are focused on other characters. Like she's telling us a story and the show is how we hear it. I see alot of good takes on this show.

[@jordanmchighlander9365]

Joker didn't just "resign himself to being a stepfather." He freaking owned that role. He joined the school board his son's school in order to get Spanish language classes as part of the curriculum because he wanted his stepson, Benicio, to feel connected to and proud of his Hispanic heritage.

[@NovaWolfe]

@jordanmchighlander9365 While I feel like you misunderstood my use of the words "winds down", I wholeheartedly agree with you. Joker did totally own being a stepfather, which I had not at all expected when he got reverted from his "more normal self". The Jokers arc in the show is top tier.

[@Runia_Da_Witch]

Hmm... I think Joker's Nightmare in this case is not quite "I am nothing without Batman," but perhaps the fear of everything he does becoming... mundane. Expected. And no longer shocking. Perhaps Batman magnified his appeal but without him... he slowly fades into the background no matter how outlandish he is. In this story, this nightmare, he as done everything from cracking dark jokes to preaching anti-capitalist speeches in a company office to actually murdering people in a public area and... nobody bats an eye. They brush it off with "oh, that's just him" or "ah, that man just died tragically." And they then continue life as normal, even dragging Joker along with them to everyday things. And slowly but surely he gets swallowed up by it all to the point that the rumors of Batman returning don't spur him to any action because... "what's the point? It's not Batman, not THE Batman. MY Batman. He's dead and rotting in my closet." Perhaps his nightmare is that his chaos and worldview isn't enough to fight against the banality of the world. But that's with a cursory scan of the story as a whole.

Now there's an idea. Fun fact, there's an incomplete NOES comic that Marvel released that was meant to tell Krueger's whole backstory.

[@localvega688]

Given the Joker is aware of the 4th wall and knows Batman's secret identity, he must have figured out this is a dream. This is likely a ploy to play dumb and boring to lull whoever is controlling this reality (Insomnia) into a false sense of security. He has also become aware of how his own mind is generating the nightmare which is why he separated himself from his gang and anything else from his old life. He kept the Batcorpse both because of his obsession as well as knowing the one controlling this reality would want to reanimate it to make a dramatic appearance. This way he knows he will have an assortment of kitchen knives, blunt objects, and other weapons to attack him with.

Tbf Joker's nightmare is actually horrifying. A life so mundane it makes your teeth itch and your bones feel brittle. Like a paper cut in your brain.

[@bodkimalone]

you missed the "we don't have a car" "then steal one."

[@sycofya1677]

One cannot live without the other. Thats the whole point of Batman and Joker. The Ying and the Yang

[@sorenveluxidus274]

This feels like an extended reference/ homage to American Psycho (If only a little)

[@Err0r34]

This is Officially what happened when you fail a Quick Time event

[@skullsquad900]

Damn this nails Joker perfectly 👌 I love the attention to detail. As Everything that's happening, including them laughing at his jokes, is his WORST Nightmare.

[@nerdodragonnerdpl4167]

Your acting abilities are pretty awesome! Big respect for that:3

"Without batman, idk something generic"

[@Anonymous-73]

Imagine of Batman just fakes his own death and all of the villains just stop trying

[@TYGKO.]

THIS JOKER IS ACTUALLY HILARIOUS 😂

[@robproductions2599]

Therapist: joker working an office job is not real he can't hurt you joker working an office job:

[@ghettofigurereviews5056]

It reminds me of that Family Guy scene when Whiley Coyote finally gets the RoadRunner. Beep,Beep no more 🤣🤣🤣!

[@victorgray6731]

He took his own life. 😂😂😂😂😂. I know the joker was swearing in his sleep

[@takeshikujo2909]

“I’m like a dog who chases a car. If I catch it I wouldn’t know what to do with it.” “Without Batman… crime has no punchline.” 😔

[@chemkip2697]

This kinda reminds me of Harley tv show Joker, still totally evil and unhinged but in a more mundane role I actually really like it

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

same

[@elperrodelautumo7511]

Batman needs the Joker as much as the Joker needs the Batman

[@mathieuleader8601]

reminds me of that episode from the Batman where Bruce goes into the Jokers mind

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

It's basically one of those Twilight Zone episodes where a career robber dies and goes to "Heaven" where all of his wishes and desires get easily granted to him. And then he realizes that this is not Heaven at all.

[@TheStrings-83639]

He becomes a “Joker Who Doesn't Laugh” basically?

[@jessemaschler981]

Your Hamill impression is on point

[@TheCoolestRob]

This was fun. Can't wait for your coverage of All-Star Batman by Miller.

[@napzilla]

The absolutely mundane accidental death of batman... I'm suprised it wasn't the cape!

[@mattd8349]

I Love Your Batman Impressions

[@SpiderBrine42]

I feel like if joker killed Batman he would probably get so bored that he just kills himself

[@jameswhite8345]

I think if joker ever did kill batman out of boardem would take up the mantal himself perhaps even split personality so he could keep the dynamic going

[@PeacocksFly07]

Benny! How many of these are you gonna do? Please say all of them. I am collecting the main series, Knight Terrors, but I don't think I'll get the rest... Too many for me to collect. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@dungton6066]

I got a problem here. Why didn’t DC wait until Halloween to release this? This is gold for that season… Unless they got something better cooking behind the scene

[@propaneandpropane3942]

DC has no sense of planning

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

​@@propaneandpropane3942 Yeah

[@Double_D__]

"Without Batman, crime has no punchline!" - Joker, B:TAS.

[@handlebarsmustache]

Me reading the title: finally DC has decided to start cooking The premise reminds me of a Joker centric HQ the animated series episode.

[@mathieugariepy2948]

Nice joker impression.

[@charge1721]

THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING COMIC BOOK STORY I'VE EVER KNOWN... Joker working a 9 to 5 should be a TV series already. 😮🎉

[@darthinkarnatus7264]

Okay… I’ve found my all time favorite comic… I can’t believe nobody has ever thought to make this before… THIS IS PURE GOLD!!! 🤣🤣😂

[@seanknapp1]

"you cant wait all day for a man in a bat suit to assault you"

[@drakennabusaki8878]

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Joker just killed his own inspiration.
