DC Comics recently released a new futuristic version of Gotham City's clown Prince of Crime in the new timeline of Batman created by Tom King. This new dimension in the Dark Knight's adventures has been presented in three different series that cover the lives of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle.
Tom King's stories take place in three different momentsThe first takes place in the first year of Batman and Catwoman, the second during the Bat and Cats event which also deepens their sentimental bond, and the third and final instead deals with a future that Selina has given up on being Catwoman for be free to travel.
That's right in the timeline of the future The author wanted us to present a new version of Joker. The first volume, Batman / Catwoman, shows us a Selina Kyle, now with white hair and in a sports suit, who drives her car to a trailer park called Seabird Island, where she has to meet "an old friend"who knows her dual identity and what binds her to the Dark Knight. Although this mysterious figure stays fixed on a chair and watches TV all the time, it is only at the end of the tape that we realize that it is Joker.
Tom King introduces us to a wealthy Joker completely abandoned to the lifestyle too common for the criminal we have known over the years. The friendly chat with Selina who remembered the old days, what happened to the bat family after Bruce died of cancer and It seems that the Joker also has a family of their ownAfter seeing photos of his grandchildren, his son Nathan's twins, and his daughter Bethany's three children.
During the conversation, we also discover that Selina has a daughter named Helena who is with a doctor. It's only when Catwoman says Batman is dead that Joker gets a little emotional and says it's like that "End of something." Then let's find out why Selina went there to kill the Joker, now alone and without the "protection" of Batman. Joker responds to the thief's intentions with a terrible laugh, of which you can find the table below.
Keep in mind that Booster Gold rewritten the origins of Batman Beyond, and we'll leave you with the new details on the Future State series.
