Joker’s new backstory -- as per Shaun Martineau -- is as follows:
Heh, have you heard the joke about the rodent who flies in the night? It cloaks itself in darkness, obscuring the little details that change between iterations. The joke is the Bat isn't blind, it blinds others. And no-one can see it, no-one but him.
So many take up the Bat's cause, changing themselves as well. Birds and Rodents and Felines, creating a nest of reflected familiarity to comfort. Even his own Harles...
But they will all fall away, one by one, until only the Bat remains. Just The Bat and The Clown, as it was always meant to be. Ha Ha.
Perhaps he was once a Gothamite. Or perhaps he was an outsider trying to make something out of a cruel city. Did he fall into a vat of chemicals or did his scars come from an abusive father figure? The only certainty is that he stands in stark contrast to the Bat. A White Knight, snickering against the thing that goes Bump Bam Wham KaPow in the night. Hehehe.
After an absence, he has returned to a Gotham City he no longer recognizes. He doesn't find this new Gotham quite as funny anymore. And that simply won't stand. He promises to Make the City Funny Again, his southern drawl fading into laughter that echoes in the streets he will paint White, until all is right. YEE HAW HA HA HA HA.
