There are THREE Jokers

It's just the multiverse leaking. Chill out. Johns will cover it eventually.

>>92724091
That's what I'm afraid of.

>>92724125
Afraid of the most logical explanation, why? It's really not that big of a deal. Probably just a result of Manhattan fucking shit up.

>>92724063
>>92724091
I can't wait anymore for this desu. They're dragging it too much.

Tom King implied yesterday it's going to be part of The War of Jokes and Riddles.

>>92724063

yfw when the Comedian is one of the Jokers and he becomes a permanent villian for the DC comics

>>92724164
Well Joker is gonna be in those dark days books so it's coming.

>>92724779
The Comedian has nothing to do with the Joker. Why the fuck would he become a Joker?

>>92724063
Because people didn't like it. Just like they were hinting at Joker being imortal.

But fans cannot fucking be satisfied with an answer because "muh joker has to be a mystery" so they had to retcon it to this to begin with.

>>92724164

This is probably my only real complaint about Rebirth, actually. Because of how ambitious it's gotten, there's a lot of stuff that keeps getting teased, but is going to stay on the shelf, meaning that I'm going to be waiting for months and months, often times just for another fucking tease or hint. At some point they're going to have to deliver on SOMETHING. Doomsday Clock is going to be a make-or-break moment for Rebirth at this rate.

>>92724063
One of them is Manhattan

>>92725192
ALL of them are Manhattan

>>92724838
Snyder said he was not doing any Johns stuff. He will just have the Joker in his story unrelated to this tease.

>>92724980
Johns is that stupid

Yeah okay, but who is Puddin'?

>>92725733
Not even Johns is dumb enough to think that a Peacemaker pastiche on a heroic team has anything whatsoever to do with a Golden Age clown themed serial killer.

>>92726095
You are not giving him enough credit, remember, in Darkseid war the anti monitor nickname was anti-god.

>>92725733
>Look guys I pulled shit out of my ass haha I'm not a retard Johns is, even though I'm the one spending the time to come up with these retarded theories that have no basis

>>92726296
It's not my theory fanboy. I'm saying Johnsian literaralism is a thing. Butthurt idiot.

>>92724063
Tom King has implied that it's going to happen in his series.Given that he's doing a Joker centric arc soon, it will probably be mentioned in that.

>>92725833
Vladimir Puddin.

>>92724750
goddamn i cant fucking wait for war of jokes and riddles

>>92724063
I think the only plots that were abandoned were Babyseid and Wonder Brother.

>>92726296
johns is so retarded he used the comedian's button as a major plot point even though it is 100% irrelevant to the characters of watchmen and is just the cover of the fucking book

There hasn't been a singe Joker story since this.

And it looks like there won't be between now and the upcoming timeskip.

Fabok just tweeted this.

>>92728802
It's used as symbolism, calm down. It's just to tell the reader that the Watchmen universe is going to interact with the DCU in one simple, easy to understand image.

The button itself is not plot important, just what it represents.

>>92728907
well yeah, of course it's to tell the reader. if they used anything that actually had any sort of relevance to the character of dr. manhattan (like a watch) people wouldn't understand because they don't know it's watchmen unless they see the cover of the book

it's a retarded plot point that panders to retarded people, it deserves all the criticism it can get

Well there's egg on my face now isn't there?

Eh, I still doubt that it will give enough answers. Also, what happened with that whole "the Joker's secret identity is someone Batman already knows" plot? I remember it being in interviews sometime around the mess known as Darkseid War but not much since.

>>92729482
>Also, what happened with that whole "the Joker's secret identity is someone Batman already knows" plot?

That was never a thing. He asked the chair about the Joker's identity and acted surprised. People assumed that meant it was someone Batman knew, but it was really the pic in the OP

>>92729505
I don't recall the chair having a limit on questions, why didn't the fuckhead ask for three names then

>>92729540
>why didn't the fuckhead ask for three names then
If you forgot, a lot of people became stupid during The Darkseid War.

The whole plot was build up for a Darkseid unbirthing comic for crying out loud.

>>92729540
Maybe he did

>>92724980
Because Alan Moore wrote both killing joke and watchmen, and the second joker is from tkj

>>92729667
suuuuure

>>92729540
he's a detective. they like mysteries

>>92729716
So the Comedian and the Joker were both in comics written by Alan Moore = they are now the same person?

>>92724063
i bet one of the jokers is the comedian.
i would be semi surprised if ozymandoas is one too.

>>92724063
You know, as retarded as the Watchmen in the DCU story is, at least it isn't as insultingly stupid as the 3 Jokers thing.

On the other hand, the 3 Jokers thing has potential to be the most batshit thing published, while just thinking about the continuity wanking in the Watchmen crap makes me want to sleep and die.

In short, DC (Johns? Whoever suggested these) is dumb.

>>92728907
>symbolism

Symbolism of literally nothing. Stop projecting fan theories.There's nothing really meta in the comic, it's a gimmick, nothing more than that, all the "deep" bullshit came later to justify the use of the watchmen characters.

>>92729540
Batman is useless under Johns. It was a complete retard that did nothing with the powers, but to be fair, no one did nothing in the 10 issues aside from Grail

What the fuck is ambitious about "let's tell X character's origin... again!", over and over again?

Even if it sucks it can't retroactively ruin the rest of Rebirth, Anon

>>92729793
"Symbolism" doesn't imply some 2DEEP4U meaning, you dumbfuck.

It literally just means something used to visually convey something to the reader.

In this case they used the button from Watchmen to convey that Watchmen is about to interact with the DCU. The alternative would be having fucking Manhattan show up and say "Hey Batman, my universe is about to crossover with yours".

It's fucking storytelling 101 and you troglodytes are so mentally insecure you hear the word "symbolism" and immediately assume whoever is using it is trying to tell you DUDE THIS STORY IS SO DEEP AND MEANINGFUL AND BETTER THAN CITIZEN KANE

>>92729842
>The Batman, starring Steven Seagal.

>>92729540
Because HACK WRITING.

>>92729914
>The alternative would be having fucking Manhattan show up and say "Hey Batman, my universe is about to crossover with yours".
Or, y'know, use an item of actual personal significance to Manhattan. Like anon suggested here. >>92728985

(You)

>>92729914
>In this case they used the button from Watchmen to convey that Watchmen is about to interact with the DCU


We see Manhattan in the book, and more important we know they will interact since Darkseid War. You could use a number of things to make this cashgrab better, like quantic shit happening. But that's not the directive... The directive from WB was to use the pin and put it on the covers ;)

>>92729540
i dont think you can get anymore out of the chair than the answer it gives you.

if batman were to ask "give me the 3 names of these jokers" it would probably respond with "there are 3 jokers" or not respond at all. or something like "the joker, the joker and the joker".

>>92731305

You are wrong.

>>92726592
But it is you butthurt idiot.

>>92728802
Or, and this is just a guess, he used it because everyone would look at it and know right away what it meant. Man you fags are so fucking stupid.

>>92729153
>Not a classic
You are dumb.

>>92726592
>It's not my theory
And yet you're getting all butthurt over it, even acting like it's been confirmed so you can circlejerk about how much you hate Johns.

Speaking of that Shadow comic, is it going to be canon ? Is this a way to reintroduce Shadow into the DC mythos ?
Because I'd be fine with Henri Ducard turning out to have been another of Shadow's disguises, as sloppy as this crossover is.

>>92729153
Bolland was basically just drawing the "classic" Joker. His version is probably the most famous outside of live action.

>>92732690
Five Wednesdays in May

>>92724063
I would accept it better if the third Joker was Grant Morrison's Joker instead of Snyder's version

>>92733008
Grant Morrison's Joker is all three

>>92733008
Grant morrison isnt a hack, and his Joker was the standard for 27 years.

>>92728782

Babyseid was destroyed along with Grail. Good riddance.

>>92731425
Well yeah, you're retarded and you wouldnt understand what was happening if anything other than the cover of the book showed up. It doesnt make sense in the story, it's only there to build hype

>three jokers manage to fool psychics, people with extrasensory abilities, varying levels of high level intellects, and the worlds greatest detective without anyone ever thinking there were three
>batman sits in the chair and learns there are three jokers
>suddenly for no reason at all they just start doing crimes at the same time like total amateurs

Was this written by a fucking six year old? Honestly how fucking lazy is that

>>92724063
I haven't read Harley, but wasn't she in a storyline regarding multiple Jokers recently? perhaps related?

>>92733883
Her stupid solo had an arc a couple of months ago (I think) about a guy imitating the Joker but he wasn't Joker so no.
