The three Jokers in this story are referred to by simple titles: The Criminal, the pragmatic, philosophical, surprisingly serious Joker whose appearance is reminiscent of his earliest, Golden Age Batman comic book appearances, i.e. Batman #1 (his pose in his first appearance in issue #1 is identical to a panel from his debut comic), whose ultimate plan is to transform Joe Chill into a Joker clone worthy of being Batman's arch-nemesis, seeing how his actions gave Batman the most pain in his life; The Clown, the campy, colorful, showman-like prankster Joker from the Silver Age comics, who has a fondness for the theatrics and embarks on criminal capers just for the attention he so craves.
