Unfortunately, Johns isn’t able to work his magic on this aspect of the story. As someone who is seen as the master of knowing DC Comics history this is where there is a lot expected from Geoff Johns. The other part of the story where things fall apart for Batman: Three Jokers does fall apart is the timeline. Joker reveals the fate he and Batman share as eternal rivals in Batman: Three Jokers #3. It ends up with characters just running around in circles making references that triggers something in Batman fans mind but never goes deeper than that. All these references are just used to make the reader remember an event but never explore how each Joker had an impact. But as the story goes on Johns becomes a prisoner of how he can integrate Golden Age history with things like Killing Joke. At first it certainly helped drive the mystery around the intention of each of these Jokers as a group and individuals. Working in iconic points in Batman’s history, from when the Dark Knight debut to more recent events in Scott Snyder’s Batman run, was a double edge sword. While having similar appearances the Criminal, Comedian, and Clown versions of the Joker came across as individual characters when they first appear together. With the way Johns and Fabok framed the story of how the Golden Age, Silver Age and modern versions of Joker are each represented in the three Jokers the series is titled after. EXAMINING JOKER OF EVERY ERAįrom the moment Batman: Three Jokers started we were given the clear indication that Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok were going to dive right into the different versions of the Joker we have gotten. So with that it is time to take a look back at what Batman: Three Jokers did for the franchise and the impact it may have in the future. Now that it has my thoughts on Johns and Fabok’s Batman: Three Jokers is clear. Because of that I decided to pass on reviewing Batman: Three Jokers until the series was completed. Even reading the first issue multiple times it was tough to figure out if I enjoyed or disliked Batman: Three Jokers #1. I’ll be honest when I read the first issue there was a feeling of incompleteness after finishing. The 5 Best Batman Comic Book Story Arcs of All Time
