[Discussion] Bad DC, bad

[chopstickchakra]

For those who haven't heard yet, they plan to finally reveal the identity of The Joker. Poor move man, poor move. If they reveal it as someone readers know and is shocking for Bruce to discover(as they implied) than that kind of shits on Batman's detective skills and if it's a new character than what's the point? Plus how will this play with Snyder's latest joker reveal about him being around for longer than Bruce? The best thing they can do is leave it ambiguous.

I thought Jared Leto was the joker?

 

[Claymantan]

Luke Skywalker is The Joker

You're kinda late. It's pretty much been revealed. He's Gelos, The God of Laughter

 

[-Punk-]

Gelos, I like that

Batman fans will cry that their best detective is useless :bdpf:

That's an older story. Coming in June during the Rebirth event they'll reveal Joker's identity and they've said it's going to shock Bruce. So that pretty much rules out the Gelos idea put forth earlier.

Oh, I watched the Wonder Con streaming of the Rebirth talk. I don't remember anything about Joker's identity

It's coming issue #50 of JL, presumably since that's where Bats got the chair that gave him the info.

So Batman's detective skills are trash...

seems like that's what's about to happen.

Did they specify when? Issue 51 or later?

Issue 50 of Justice League. Maybe if we're lucky all the 50's will happen before the rebirth event kicks off and it can be undone.

Joker had already had his identity revealed before in films and things. Nothing is wrong with doing this. Comics can do tons of stories. Nothing is really definitive. Mostly, he is unknown, but sometimes he isn't. No biggie.

No need for complaining at all.
