>A one-shot sequel is in the works for Batman: Three Jokers. That was the biggest selling title of 2020, and it sounds like the plan is for this story to be firmly integrated into whatever form DC Comics continuity is taking now.
THREE JOKERS Comic Getting Sequel

Lame. It was a big nothingburger and would be better off forgotten. Just discarded completely.

The next Geoff Johns project will be a Crossover Event, but this time it only involves the Batman characters, The Green Lantern Corps, Swamp Thing, Watchmen, and V For Vendetta.
After a brief misunderstanding with the GLC is resolved, Doctor Manhattan summons the two Swamp Things (New 52 Alec Holland Swamp Thing and the Moore Swamp Thing) and Mogo to create a new Earth populated only by multiple Gotham Cities with multiple Batmen, Robins, Jokers, Jim Gordons, Batgirls, Harley Quinns, etc. But something goes wrong and the Three Thousand Jokers band together to invade another Earth, which turns out to be an alternate Watchmen Earth. A thousand of those Jokers land on Watchmen Earth prior to Doctor Manhattan's creation and alter the timeline, creating the V For Vendetta timeline and revealing that Adrian Veidt was the original V all along. Another thousand Jokers time travel and land in the 1940s where they alter the timeline of the Minutemen and World War II, creating a world where the US dropped a J-Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, turning the Japanese citizens into Batmen Who Laughs, who invade the rest of the world and turn everyone just like them. Comedian is the last remaining non-Jokerized human and he's just a fucking copy of Scott Snyder's Sgt Rock from Death Metal, only more politically incorrect and referring to his foes as "Batmen Who Raughs."
The remaining 1000 Jokers arrive on another Watchmen Earth this time in 1985, only to find that the 3000 Bat Families were waiting for them, leading to a big fight for 30 pages. Dr Manhattan (one that created Bat-Planet) merges with the Dr Manhattan of that world and becomes Double Manhattan.

Double Manhattan merges the three Joker-invaded Watchmen worlds and creates a new world where Veidt aka V is working with Comedian to stop the Jokerized Soviet Union. They create the Doctor Batmanhattan Who Laughs, who causes chaos and brings in Double Manhattan to stop him, in a fight like in Mortal Kombat. Because Geoff Johns loves Mortal Kombat. The Fatality causes an explosion that engulfs the merged Earth, Dr Batmanhattan Who Laughs, and Double Manhattan.
More new Bat-Watchmen worlds are created, including one where Rorschach and Travis Bickle fight Arthur Fleck. More Moore is lifted from. There's even a Watchmen world where all the characters are combined with some version of Batman. Bat-Nite Owl, Bat-Silk Spectre, Bat-Comedian, BatManhattan, Batzymandias, and so on.
The story ends with a panel quoting Alan Moore, "That’s a longwinded way of me saying I am really, really sick of Batman."

anyone who had high hopes for it in the first place was a fuckwit
Mason Robinson
It better have gordons rapevenge or punchline pregancy shenanigans
Daniel Hughes
I laugh, but Johns would seriously write something like this and consider himself a genius. Him and Snyder.
Owen Clark
>consider himself a genius
I think that part's in your head
Julian Diaz
Geoff Johns is beyond parody at this point. What a fucking moron.
Parker Adams
Fifty-Two Jokers seems like the logical next step.
Tyler Williams
is DCeased still going?
has Trigon wiped the slate yet or did Patent Zero Darkseid, infected, Supes and the rich fucks took care of that already?
Logan Gomez
This perfectly sums up the state of mainstream US comics in 2020: a book everyone agrees was utter shit is the best-selling book of the year and so will be getting a sequel.
Lincoln Evans
Nah, it's true. It's why he keeps trying to go after Moore and failing so comically, he thinks he's on Moore's level.
Asher Cruz
Johns announces he's finally producing a book using Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes pitch.
Gavin Miller
>one of the most successful comics of the year
>getting another issue
NOOOOOOOO ANTI-JOHNS BROS WE LOST
Christopher Brooks
>GJ:This time it's gonna count. For serious you guys.

I hate Batfags and Normies so much

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your post

Why? The story was crap? Do people really eat up any crap that has Batman or Joker in it?
Ryan Campbell
I hate this because a Mogo/Swamp thing team up could be kinda elite
Luke Hall
This time THREE HARLEYS!
Gabriel Perez
So why did everyone not like three jokers? I thought joker war was worse.

Because it was bad.
>I thought joker war was worse.
That was also bad.
Aaron Flores
It was like the fifth season of Dexter. Plenty of stuff introduced that really shook the status quo and would leave it so that consequences would never be the same... only at the end they lazily handwave it all and things end back at where they started. You can skip it entirely and nothing has changed.
Alexander Cox
He wants an animated movie
Chase Carter
In the original Batman white knight there where 2 Harleys though.
Bentley Ward
Wow, a series that made loads of money for DC and its creators is getting a sequel? I'm shocked.
Angel Wilson
Jason is going to fuck Babs for sure in the sequel.
