[Three Jokers] For the three Jokers, the main one shot and paralyzed Batgirl, another was the one that killed Robin Jason Todd. What was it that the third one did?

Okay, so.

**The Criminal** is supposedly the original Joker, who committed the earliest crimes like the theft of the Claridge Diamond- the very first Joker crime. Ironically, he's the easiest to tell apart from the other two but the one who seems least Joker-like- he grins sometimes but doesn't laugh (just as the Joker didn't do in the earliest stories). Also recognizable by receding hairline and dark purple, more velvety suit with frock coat.

The Criminal's evil deeds are the most... well, sane of the three. Even if the money isn't what he cares about, they usually do have an obvious monetary upside. However, his real aim is to ensure the Joker's legacy lives on long past any individual person who wears the title.

\*\*\*

**The Clown** is the gimmicky side of the Joker, probably the one who came up with such bizarre gags as the Jokerfish caper, the exploding whoopie cushion, etc. He is the most artistic and showy of the three. You can recognize him by his clothing (lighter pink, big corsage, long tails, more "regular" hairstyle).

He is strongly hinted to be the one who beat Jason to death- this is reinforced by him >!knowing the exact words Jason used to plead with him during the beating!< and always carrying a crowbar in promotional art, for example... but more on that later.

\*\*\*

**The Comedian** claims to be the one behind the Killing Joke events and most modern Joker shenanigans. He is defined by being the most sadistic and most embracing the twisted nihilistic philosophy of Jokerism. Recognizable by his greyish purple trench coat and yellow waistcoast, and he wears his hair longer in front.

\*\*\*

Now... ALL THIS BEING SAID... the story raises doubt about whether each Joker is being truthful about which acts they performed.

The Clown and the Comedian argue about which of them rightfully owns the "tourist" costume used in "Killing Joke." Also, "beating someone to death via crowbar" doesn't really have the gimmicky touch that would usually indicate the Clown's hand. *(Obviously this is a bit of fourth-wall fuckery, as the Joker is famous for, pointing out how gradual and ambiguous the change from corny Silver Age Joker to scary Bronze Age Joker went).*

Close to the end of the story, Comedian also seems to claim he was the original Joker, too *(another sort-of in-joke, since the Joker's first appearance has been told at least twice- Batman 1 and "Man Who Laughs," and he had a very different personality in the two different versions).*
