The Book of Joker (II)

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, this guy is more maniac and less mastermind, which represents a fun different side of him. A much better battle companion for Harley, I think.

Looking good guys. I like the theme of Laugh It Off and I think that title fits much better than Laughing Gas.

Doesn't have to be on this card, but it would be really cool to see a movement bonding power for team Insane-o.

[Griffin]

Expect something like that on Hugo Strange.

[Good Pig]

Awesome .

Inmates are slow. They need some movement help. Would also be nice to move Scarecrow and Mad Hatter around without having to burn OMs on them.

[Griffin]

If you come up with any ideas, let me know, because I just have concepts for Hugo at this point, without any real writeup.

[tcglkn]

Secret Identity here needs to be ??? unless you want him to be drafted along side the original Joker.

[Griffin]

I was always hoping that we could get rid of the ??? on the other Joker, as it doesn't make any sense to me.

[IAmBatman]

I never had any problem with the "???" - it's fun.

[Griffin]

I don't think it makes any sense though. It doesn't mean he doesn't have an identity, it technically means his real name is ???. Other Unique Heroes don't have identities as well.

[IAmBatman]

True. I chalk it up to one of those "we were just starting out and didn't really know what we were doing" things. That said, that card's been out foooooorever, and I'm not sure it's important enough to justify changing and asking people to reprint over.

I think unlike the other unique heroes that don't have a secret identity & use only there name, the fact that for the Joker everybody knows he had a past & was known as someone else but now no one is exactly sure of who he was because he lives the Joker persona 24/7 now. So I am fine with the ??? for his identity. Because it's not like he doesn't have a real name, it's just nobody knows it.
