Smallville: Alien #11

[superfangirl1]

The monitors have invaded the smallville earth and in doing so, different alternate version of Superman and Batman have shown up from parallel earths.

woah, okay. confused... i mean i understand... but i am also confused...

[kd_the_movie]

At first glance and because of the purple I thought Babs was some sorta joker/harlequin/jokers daughter/prankster or whatever forgetting than in Smallville she's Nightwing.

Also forgot that Smallville!Batman has weird speech bubbles.

Bruce Wayne is the BatJoker...

[drtechnobabel]

I've got to admit, this is something I'm intrigued by. Though it is surprising that (to my knowledge, anyway) someone hasn't explored this 'what-if' scenario sooner. Now I want to see this guy's archenemy as well, maybe a sort of 'Clown Knight', if you will.

I would suspect the Joker in the other universe is probably perfectly normal. Maybe he's become the Commissioner since it's likely Gordon is dead.

given how his outfit looks rather secondhand, maybe batjoker killed his world's batman and nicked his outfit as a final "fuck you" to him.

Bruce, your entire face is exposed. You don't need to do the Cookie Monster voice any more. Especially since you're talking to your-freaking-self.

[crinos]

Hey, he spent time practicing the cookie monster voice, he's gonna use the cookie monster voice.

[michaelhealy]

He's going to use that cookie monster voice even if he's claiming to be John Conner.

I wasn't expecting that at all

During Countdown on Earth 3 Jackie 'The Jokster' (Last name possibly Dent) became a hero while Owlman was the villain and during the Flashpoint mess Thomas Wayne became Batman and Martha Wayne became the Joker. This could be quite interesting: Bruce Wayne vs Bruce Wayne. An opponent that could actually be an equal match for him.

[zapbiffpow]

Heh. One time I wondered if, during the ACE Chemical standoff, Batman fell into the vat of chemicals instead of the guy who would've been Joker?

This Batman, I guess.

[crinos]

Actually that was covered in the Batman, the Brave and the Bold cartoon, where Batman heads to the mirror universe and takes on the evil Justice League counterparts with the aide of the Red Hood, who fell in the chemicals same as the normal Red Hood to become the Joker, but unlike Joker didn't go completely insane (There's a great flashback scene where Hood see's his face post chemical dip, starts giggling insanely at his reflection.... then stops himself from laughing and smashes the mirror in anger.)

By the stubbing on my thumb, a stupid question this way comes.

[silverzeo]

Do THESE parallel earths in the comic co-exist with any other MultiVerses from DC in general, or just its own private branch on the tree?

Re: By the stubbing on my thumb, a stupid question this way comes.

[q99]

I think the latter, at the least there's been no crossover yet.

Re: By the stubbing on my thumb, a stupid question this way comes.

[kamino_neko]

The answer to both questions is probably 'yes'.

'Yes, they're part of the same multiverse (because there's no real reason for them to be otherwise), but yes, they don't actually connect in any meaningful way (any more than any of them do to any of the multitudes of universes we haven't seen), and probably will never crossover (unless sales of Smallville really tank and the PTB bother trying to save it).'

What other Batman villains have been Batman in parallel Earths? I know Joker has, and I think Catwoman was in some Jim Balent comic, and Two-Face was briefly in the newspaper run. Are there any others?

Lord Batman

[7dialsmystery]

Justice Lords, maybe? Except for fighting they talked it out.
