If the writing and delivery are solid, it could work. My personal feeling is that it shouldn't happen. I felt the same way about Wolverine's origin. Some characters just work better as an international man of mystery.

I couldn't agree with you more. I have always felt part of Joker's intrigue is his aura of mystery.

The "truth" will never be as interesting as the mystery. We didn't need to know where Wolverine came from, but Marvel smelled $$$, so we got Origin and its offshoots. DC knows they can get a quick money surge with this "event", so of course they're going to do it. But from a storytelling perspective, it's better left alone.

Could be good, probably wont be great. DC seems to be making a series of missteps lately. This could be a turning point or most likely, rock-bottom.

Big gamble. If it does not go down well it will hurt the character. I agree having a mystery of a character and not revealing everything about them will always create a fascination from the reader to wanting to find more about them.
But serving it all up is a mistake as the character may loose their fascination quality.

With Rebirth, it won't matter as the DC universe "resets" itself again. Will be a short lived ploy to sell issues.

hm... I thought the Joker was Jack Napier. A mob criminal that fell into a vat of bad stuff.

Me too. Does this mean that Detective Comics 168 will now drop in value

this is the truth. If it works out they will keep it and if it bombs they will act like it didn't happen.

So really it can't be his brother unless he had another brother. Which would be a super lame thing and one everyone is seeing.

100% agree. They will reset their universe again and it will have never happened.

On a side note it would be great if they made him Alfred's brother.
