Man, season 3 seems so long away...and we don't even know if he comes back in s3 or later.

Marki · 04-18-2016, 06:14 AM

i would think season 3. i dont think they would hint at him in this season if it wasnt at least next season setting them selves up that far in the future would be a waste if ratings dont go well. but hey what do i know im not a writer

we'll have to keep an eye on any projects [movies/ tv shows] Cameron is doing this summer/ early fall to determine if he comes back

Dacrown · 04-18-2016, 08:11 AM

Good point Dave, Shameless in on the break for now, so this is out of the picture for sure.

I agree Marki, I wouldn't bring him back now. We already have Fish coming back.

now this story on Wikipedia I did not know

This story was the basis for the most often-cited origin tale, Moore's one-shot The Killing Joke. The Joker quits his job, becoming a stand-up comedian to support his pregnant wife. Unsuccessful, he agrees to help mobsters with a robbery and dons the Red Hood. The heist goes awry; the comedian leaps into a chemical vat to escape Batman, surfacing disfigured. This, combined with the earlier accidental death of his wife and unborn child, drives the comedian insane and he becomes the Joker.[28][34] This version has been cited in many stories, including Batman: The Man Who Laughs (in which Batman deduces that the Red Hood survived his fall and became the Joker), Batman #450 (in which the Joker dons the Red Hood to aid his recovery after the events in A Death in the Family, but finds the experience too traumatic) and "Death of the Family".[92] Other stories have expanded on this origin; "Pushback" explains that the Joker's wife was murdered by a corrupt policeman working for the mobsters,[93] and "Payback" gives the Joker's first name as "Jack".[92]

Yes, in one of the comics Joker had a backstory

So butthurt comic book fans that claim he absolutely cannot have an origin on Gotham should do their research better

Make Them Laugh · 04-18-2016, 09:47 AM

I always thought the Joker was gangster Jack Nappier--- who faught Batman at a chemical plan and Jack fell into chemicals and burned his face

Dacrown · 04-18-2016, 10:10 AM

I wonder if Jerome's gonna fall into chemicals.

Marki · 04-29-2016, 05:04 AM

I would like to see that happen that's quite traditional joker story

Darth Galactica · 04-29-2016, 04:16 PM

I'd love an in-depth Joker backstory

Marki · 05-01-2016, 05:15 AM

It would be interesting though I think something that would probably only happen in one episode

Dacrown · 05-02-2016, 06:46 AM

Maybe Cameron shot more scenes than we thought and he appears this season again

The Survivor · 05-08-2016, 04:52 PM

I hope he comes back too. But unlike Galavan knows who the hell he is.

Dacrown · 05-09-2016, 07:53 AM

Ugh yes, I want him to rememeber. Same goes for Fish.

The Survivor · 05-16-2016, 07:07 PM

I am hoping he turns up in the finale. Please TPTB of this show.
