Everybody knows that there aren’t three Jokers. What this book presupposes is...maybe there are? Ryan and Justin reunite to cover 2020’s Batman: Three Jokers, Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok’s critically-panned-but-bestselling story for DC’s Black Label imprint featuring 300% percent more Jokers for all your murderclown needs. We discuss the intricacies of this controversial tale, from Batman’s questionable parenting decisions to the Bat Family’s seemingly inconsistent “no killing” policies, to Johns’ attempt to pull off a Moore/Morrison-style meditation on “What does the Joker mean?”
Also covered: Ryan’s Alfred/Batman fanfic, the importance of differentiating your Jokers in a story about three different Jokers, the most lovingly rendered truck-driving scene since Convoy, and the line that the Black Label imprint won’t cross. Plus: Canon Fodder returns!
Discussed: Batman: Three Jokers, #1-3 (2020).
