That could be a cool concept🤔

[@allpackagaming9811]

I have a feeling joker will go to gotham to do whatever serial killers do, meet batman and when he sees the lengths a man in a bat suit would go to to protect gotham he's gonna find that funny and crack his first permanent smile.

[@divad7137]

Damn that hits so hard. Cause atm he's all serious, unfeeling, but Batman will probably make him laugh and also make him have his new goal of breaking Batman's spirit.

[@allpackagaming9811]

@divad7137 yea that's what im hoping for. And also him uttering the line " now thats funny"

Doubt he'll ever laugh. They're clearly setting him up to be serious. People don't call him joker because of his humorous nature but instead call him that mockingly because he's extremely serious. He'll likely wear some kind of mask but he'll never make jokes or shit like that

[@brandonwilliams4050]

I'm curious if Absolute Joker is going to be like an evil version of "Jack Napier" in Batman: White Knight. For those who don't know, in that series, the Joker got actual treatment for his insanity and became a successful and powerful politician who was a genuinely good person, at least for a while. With this Joker being a wealthy socialite with connections all over the place, I can see him being something similar, except for the aspect of using that power for good.

[@natoriousthehopeful2786]

I actually loved Batman White Knight: it might be my favorite elseworld story😊

@ProToken420 that was good stuff back in the day: holy crud, I feel old

It's also said that absolute Joker trained with the League Of Assassin's before killing every member of the League.

I think the point of the absolute universe is to change everything that isn't necessary to the character. Batman doesn't need money to be Batman, just the smarts. But it also shows how all of these parts make OG Batman, Batman. Probably will do the same with the joker
