Greetings Nerdy list aficionados and we’re back to talk The Joker.
There’s been a lot of Joker talk at the time of this recording Joaquin Phoenix cameos
is Jared Leto gone or not, what is going on with the final Gotham version.
So we’ve done a lot of Alternate Joker versions lists including part 5 which was my favourite
because it was about fanart that’s my jam.
But of all these alternates let’s be real some are a bit crazier a bit cooler than others
so let’s get those together.
I’m Sasha and these are the Top 10 Craziest Alternate Joker versions.
Number 10 – Martha Wayne Batman: Knight of Vengeance.
This Joker emerged out of the Flaspoint event wherein Barry Allen the Flash went back in
time to try and stop his mom’s murder he succeeded but destroyed the timeline.
In this new timeline it was Bruce who had been killed in the alley not his parents which
led to two very different reactions from both of them.
His father Thomas Wayne dedicated his life to vengeance and became a very dark version
of the dark knight and his mother completely snapped and began to view the world as a chaotic
landscape becoming the new version of the Joker.
This version is rendered even more tragic by the brief glimpses of sanity that can be
seen when Thomas tries to speak to her of a world where their son lives.
However, upon learning he becomes Batman instead her mind shatters even further and she flees
killing herself.
Number 9 – Emperor Joker – Seriously this comic is underrated this storyline ran all
the way back in the year 2000 and featured a joker who had been granted the powers of
the fifth dimension beings such as bat mite and mr mtzypltlk yep I butchered that guess
I’m not sending him back to his dimension I can’t even say his name forwards.
This Joker remakes the world to match the inner workings of his mind, a world that is
topsy turvy and chaotic.
In it he kills Batman over and over to the point where his mind is completely shattered
and it’s up to Superman to save the world and also rewrite Batman’s memories Dark
stuff.
Number 8 – The Jokester from Earth 3.
This is that infamous reverse Earth where the heroes are bad and the villains are good
so of course on this Earth the Joker is a hero known as the Jokester trying to take
on the the despotic heroes.
His main villain of choice is of course Owlman.
This Joker is on here because he legitimately is a hero not some warped version but a genuine
one.
Number 7 – SabreJoker from the amalgam universe.
This coming from the imprint amalgam comics where in DC and Marvel published a combined
universe where the characters were fused together after a lead up of crossovers and vs stories.
After this characters were combined based on who they felt was the most similar which
led to a combination of The Joker and Sabertooth.
Now this may seem odd to some as what does Sabertooth have in common with the clown prince
of crime.
However it makes more sense once you realize that Batman was fused with Wolverine to become
darkclaw so it’s both their villains together.
This version has the physicality to match their insanity a dangerous combo and a terrifying
design.
Still kinda odd though.
Number 6 - Hot Topic Joker Jared Leto from the DCEU.
Now before you punch a hole through your screen hear me out.
While this version may not have worked for everyone it was an interesting take beyond
the gangster aesthetic.
The suicide squad version from 2016 had a blend of co-dependence, violence and overt
sexuality that was a unique blend of many Joker traits that created a version that was
unstable in a whole new way.
While it may have been a bit of a mess it’s one I for one would have love to see get decimated
by Batman.
It was an intriguing performance of note it took risks even if not everyone liked or got
it and isn’t that in a way a very Joker thing.
Number 5 – Jereome Valeska Gotham – Oh Gotham it’s just doing it’s own thing
isn’t it.
Gotham aired from 2014 to 2019 and well let’s talk about Jerome.
So Jermone had an intriguing journey from not really being the Joker instead supposedly
a prototype inspiration to dying, being brought back to life, having a twin who wad the Joker.
Just pretty much every version of the Joker that has been and beyond has been on Gotham
through this character.
It’s madness.
We’ve got face cut off stapled back on.
Scars, Bleached skin, clinically insane, manically insane.
Whatever is going on with the finale version.
What’s crazy about this alternate version is that he’s doing absolutely everything.
Sometimes at the same time.
Seriously we need a flow chart.
Number 4 – Tim Drake – Batman Beyond.
The DCAU that being the DC animated universe was an interconnected series of cartoons that
began in 1992 with Batman the animated series and finished in 2006 with the conclusion of
justice league unlimited.
In that time there was a continuation of Batman called Batman Beyond or Batman of the future
if one was in Europe.
This cartoon focused on a new Batman operating in Neo Gotham and aided by an aging Bruce
Wayne taking on villains old and new.
And it featured the terrifying return of the Joker in the movie Batman Beyond Return of
the Joker.
It is revealed that Tim drake the second Robin in this universe was kidnapped as a child
and tortured by the joker turned into a child version of him for the joker and Harley to
raise.
A transformation that continued into his old age where he was transformed into a reincarnation
of the Joker through computer technology his whole body taken over by the clown prince
of crime.
It was dark.
Man Batman beyond was good, depressing but good.
Number 3- Batman Digital Justice.
This one is here cause I just wanted to say sentient computer virus.
This comic came out in 1990 and was set in the future where the Joker still exists because
he has turned himself into a sentient computer virus to take over Gotham.
It’s so Joker making plans for after he’s dead to spread chaos.
Love it.
The people of Gotham probably don’t though.
Number 2 – The Porker Earth C- So you know how Marvel has that animal universe Peter
Porker Spider Ham all that jazz well you know DC has one too.
With the parody comic from the 1990s Captain Carrot!
And his Amazing Zoo Crew.
This didn’t make it out of the 80s but it has some die hard fans.
The Porker is a pig who battle against Batmouse.
Don’t you want to see a pig fight a mouse.
You know animal teams are just always zany, and the first cover for # 1 of the animal
justice league bursting in to save a kryptonite bound superman who just looks super annoyed
is amazing I love it.
10 out of 10.
Number 1 – The Batman Who laughs- from earth 22 man just the design on this disgusting
I love it.
This is Bruce Wayne yup Bruce Wayne.
This batman was going along a normal path until an encounter with the Joker completely
broke him.
Restrained he had to watch the Joker kill orphans, turn them into jokerized monsters
sick them on gotham.
He destroyed his home killed other villains, burnt Jim Gordon with Acid and it was all
too much.
Bruce snapped his neck Zod style also actually Maxwell Lord style DC loves
a good neck snap.
This one however unleashed a gas that engulfed Bruce wayne and very much like an episode
of the batman way back in the early 2000s.
It slowly warped him causing him to go mad turning him into the new Joker.
Who killed his friends, his family, everyone.
It’s dark it’s horrifying and well the Joker got the last laugh and created a horrifying
alternate version.
I love it.
So those were some of the craziest alternate versions of the Joker.
Let me know your favourite alternate version down below.
