Batman #143 continues the latest update of The Joker’s origin in part two of “The Joker: Year One.” The newest chapter is written by Chip Zdarsky, illustrated by Guiseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nesi, colored by Alejandro Sánchez, and lettered by Clayton Cowles. The nightmarish future “Joker Virus” sequence is drawn by Andrea Sorrentino and colored by Dave Stewart. As he’s done in recent issues, Zdarsky references the notion of multiple Jokers existing in the DC Universe. And the latest issue finally answers the question: are there really three Jokers in the mainstream DCU?The concept goes back several years when then-DC Chief Creative Officer and writer Geoff Johns posited the idea at the onset of the publisher’s Rebirth initiative. But as Batman and The Joker continued to periodically face off, the three Jokers’ mystery sat dormant over the next few years. And when DC finally addressed it, the publisher didn’t conclusively resolve it, stirring further debate among fans. Readers still didn’t know if the DCU had multiple Jokers or not.The Joker mystery began as an incidental plot device in 2015’s Justice League #42. The issue was part two of Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok’s far-reaching, nine-issue “Darkseid War” event. Batman and the League seize control of Metron’s encyclopedic Mobius Chair to glean knowledge on how to stop the Anti-Monitor. Now in possession of the Chair, Batman can’t resist asking an unrelated and longstanding question of his own. Namely, the identity of The Joker. And Batman is incredulous when the chair provides an answer he doesn’t expect.
