Absolute Batman #15

[cyberghostface]

“The Joker to me is always the opposite of Batman. So if Absolute Batman is this thing, Joker would become a billionaire with all the resources, who is telling Bruce, ‘Well, you’re not going to become anything,’ and then it becomes, who would he put in Batman’s way? Well, Joker plays both sides, so he creates crime and creates the means to stop crime. He’s always playing us, and the Joker issue explains what a clown is and why the Joker loves them… If Bruce is Joker now, and he is chaos and he is disruption, then Joker is the system and order. That means Joker would have a Batcave, he would have a mansion, he would be handsome, and be a socialite. Maybe he has Robins!” -- Scott Snyder

...so...is his butler Absolute Gagsworth?

[numeronone]

Gaggy appeared in Absolute Batman #1 as his personal assistant or consigliere or some such. This appears to be a different old man.

I might be remembering wrong, but my mind went to the Alfred from Batman 66'

[thanekos]

" the system and order " is a monster with all the money and resources that eats people because he wants to.

Honestly, yeah.

So, he's a Killer Klown?

[shakalooloo]

He's also a big ol' Pennywise.

After the Batman Who Laughs I'm surprised a super powerful Joker is an idea they'd go for
