Film Theory: Batman's Three JOKER Theory pt. 1 (Suicide Squad) 

To everyone upset about all the two-parters: Any time a video's script is over five pages long (which ends up being a video 22+ minutes), it becomes a two-parter so that I have the time to cover everything necessary while protecting the sanity of the editors and ensuring that I get an episode out on a regular basis. In this case, since so much of the theory hinges on a history of comics, I needed to take a lot of time up front to ensure everyone was on the same page regarding the evolution of the Joker. *I'm just trying to do the theories justice by being as thorough as possible. And with franchises like this, there's A LOT to cover!*

MatPat: Four live action Jokers! 2019: *there is another*

I like the "The Joker is an Idea, like a virus." concept. The Joker can be anyone or no one and even Batman can become the Joker.

I'm here after the Batman: Three Jokers comics

Matpat? More like Mat.... Find out the rest of the answer in part 2.

"So I'm fairly optimistic" dang it matpat you jinxed the entire suicide squad movie

8:28 or as the comics would put it "the clown, the comedian and the criminal."

Look at Mat, being so optimistic about Jared Leto's "Joker" *_Har har har har_*

He should have said batpat in the beginning

1. Jack Napier - Fell into chemicals 2. Arthur Fleck - Makeup 3. Jerimiah Valeska - Got sprayed by laughing gas 4.Jerome Valeska - Face got cut off

2019 so now there is an actual new joker movie

Anyone here after watching the 2019 Joker teaser trailer

I just realized something. Batman gains access to the chair that can give him the answer to the meaning of life in issue number forty-two.

You know I scrolled down to the comment section to see what people thought about the theory, but I was greeted with a storm of people showing off how childish they were. I'm sorry matpat has to deal with this kind of stuff...I hope he ends videos telling all you complainers to shut your stupid traps about that part two stuff, honestly it's his and the editors show and they're allowed to do whatever they want with it. that includes doing 2 parters for the sanity of them all, it saddens me to see "loyal" theorists acting like spoiled brats because they have to wait a couple days. honestly dissapointing, hope you guys keep up the good work and run these complainers out of here. LOVE YOU MATHEW PATHEW

MatPat: So, we got 4 Live-Actions Jokers! Arthur Fleck: *A NEW PLAYER HAS ARRIVED*

I love the three jokers storyline and it's really fun to go back and see matpat essentially guess the whole trope

Am I the only one who thought that MatPat should have been BatPat....

He should get a pet bat and call it batpat

Man, if Suicide Squad have follow your theory, maybe the execution could be better...

*joker 2019 trailer comes out* Me : 4 Jokers?

Jared Leto's Joker isn't even a main part of the movie. He's a subplot for Harley Quinn.

Did I just watch a twelve minute setup for a RU-vid video I can't watch until next week?

Jared leto’s joker: I AM BATMAN

6 years later this episode is still one of my favourites throughout film theory

I think we can all agree this intro would be better with BatPat.

Lol the Wikipedia chair

The dc universe will never be the same without Cristian bale and Heath ledger 😢

Anyone here after DC literally just published "Three Jokers"?

best intro batman theme 10/10 IMDB, 7.8/10 IGN

Notice how there's actually none of the theory in this episode. There's nothing in here. He's cheated you. He's cheated all of you and you didn't even notice.

Cesar Romero Joker - Prankster Jack Nicholson Joker - Mobster Heath Ledger Joker - Anarchist Jared Leto Joker - Gangster Joaquin Phoenix Joker - Physco Monoghan Jerome Valeska - Killer Monoghan Jerimah Valeska - Nerd

MatPats teachers: MatPat, what do you want to be when you grow up Young MatPat: I want to ruin people’s childhood and confuse the heck out of people and be right all the time! Teacher:.......

*Maybe you should make a theory on how aerodynamic Dumbo's ears are*

"I don't like doing cliffhangers." Pointing out your problems doesn't fix them.

1:59 GOD DAMN IT STAN LEE (Edit): Wait Thanos come here. Thanos: ok. Me: did you just give DC your chair!?!?!? Thanos:N-no w-why do y-you ask? Me: Just take a look

And DC published the Batman: Three Jokers comic. Woo, I cant wait!

it's been 11 days, still not part 2, MatPat is probably dead or out of diet Coke

MATPAT YOU NEED TO STOP DOING CLIFFHANGERS ITS GETTING REALLY FREAKING ANNOYING

2019:ANOTHER JOKER..... DAGNAMMIT

"I'm fairly optimistic" we were so young back them

The dark night joker was my favourite

If these 3 Joker's are not held together by the multiverse idea then are they aware of each other's existence?

Me: looks at golden age joker, ok. Looks at silver age joker you freeking suck. Looks at bronze age joker YES

Who is Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker?

NEXT WEEK??? THE MOVIE WILL ALREADY BE OUT BY THEN!

As a huge Batman nerd who had spent a long time pondering about the possibility of three Jokers and whether it was even a reasonable revelation, I'm so glad that you, MatPat, covered it and explained it. You're a blessing, seriously.

Im here after the released the 3 jokers comic

I may have been born WAY after that theme song but I have seen a couple of episodes from. Back than and it IMMEDIATELY pit a smile on my face!

I can't believe that you missed the opportunity to call yourself "BatPat" in the intro :S

Hey Matpat. I had an interesting idea for a theory. It revolves around the universe of Avatar (both the last airbender and legend of korra). Not the characters themselves, but the physics around them. If you're familiar with the series, you'll know that certain people of each nation have the power to bend one of the 4 elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Certain users of these elements can bend other elements which correspond with their own element. For example; Water benders can become blood benders, earth benders can become metal or lava benders, ETC. But my theory revolves around fire benders. Now certain fire benders can wield lightning and some can even create explosions. But what if there's no such thing as a fire bender, but an energy bender!? Now I know that in AtLoK Korra can bend pure energy in the avatar state, but that's not what I'm getting at. I'm talking about heat or light energy. Now for fire to exist, there has to be three substances available: Heat, Oxygen, and a fuel. Now fire benders probably don't produce all three of these things. They wouldn't produce oxygen just to burn it instantly. So obviously, the oxygen is all around them. And in the avatar universe, fire bending is the only element without substance, but it comes from the "chii" within the body. My guess is that the chii supplies the fuel for the fire. It's worth noting that all people have chii in the avatar universe, not just elemental benders. But the only thing left is heat, and that's where the fire bender's abilities come into play. They don't create fire on the spot, but rather produce heat and have the other elements of the substances needed to produce fire. But if they only produce heat, then how do they produce lightning and explosives? The answer is that they don't actually produce fire, nor heat, but energy. I've just went over how they produce heat energy. But It seems that some of them can produce electrical energy (to create lightning) and kinetic energy (to create explosives). But does the limit to their power and range of abilities stop there? If they could harness light energy, could they bend unstable laser beams!? If they could harness sound energy, could they create sonic booms!? Matpat, If you covered this topic, it would make me a really happy 14 year old boy who just covered different energies in chemistry last year! Please cover this as my fingers are almost sore from typing it! LOL! But either way, thank you for being awesome, making awesome content about video games and movies, and just generally being a great person. I hope you have a glorious day!

Well now in 2024 Batman 3 jokers came out and we know that there actually are 3 jokers the criminal, the comedian, and the clown

Where is my boys Jerome and Jeremiah / J?

OH SHIT HE ACKNOWLEDGED DOCTOR WHO PART 3! GUYS ITS COMING!

What's up with all these two part episodes within the last month? First Finding Dory, then DHMIS, than Pokemon Go, and now this?!? Why MatPat?! WHYYYYYYY

It would be really cool if they worked the three different jokers into the story more where even Harley Quinn didnt know, and used that edge to more thoroughly explain Harley and Jokers rollercoaster type relationship

When I was a kid my brother had a compilation of Bob Kane's Bat man, the actual originals, and I loved the original Joker. The Golden age Joker who was a criminal master mind. I specifically remember this series where Joker broke out of prison and uses some series of symbols to communicate his plan to hijack a movie set, rob a museum of a clock or a collection of police badges or something. Point was that he was insanely smart and a serial killer. He placed TNT on the Clapper of a bell so that when it rolled, the tower would explode and drop debris onto the civilians below.

Welcome to a week later, still no part 2...

Jared Leto's Joker is the Mastermind. He doesn't play as the Prankster. He is not a anarchist like the Psychopath. He has a crew and manipulates the corrupt.

Anyone here after the 3 jokers comic?

It’s theorized that Jared’s Joker, is really Jason Todd, (The second Robin) after being kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed by the real Joker. Of course though, in the movie Batman Beyond: Joker returns, and Batman the animated series season 4, the creators switched names between Jason Todd and Tim Drake (The third Robin.) I honestly have NO idea why they did that, they got everything right except for the name change. Maybe they were just trying to be creative 🤷‍♂️

Wanna here a joke? Superman

Remember when Matpat's theory's were over 20 minutes

I mean, he was basically right about the three types of jokers, and he even said there names at certain points, just never all together. The three jokers were the Criminal, the Comedian, and the Clown.

This man is so dedicated in so many ways

The comic book theorist? I want this channel to exist immediately, and it has to be hosted by matpat

*_"What is Jared Leto's Joker?!?!!"_* A very cringeworthy performance.

Was Jerome velaska, Jeremiah are Mr. J no 1&2 respectively according to Gotham

Mat Pat researching: Who is the joker Me: that's not the question. Me: the question is WHY did he choose to be evil instead of getting a job

Mark Hamill is the best Joker ever.

Matpat should do a real life theory on who the zodiac killer is

My fav. Intro to anything I’ve ever seen in my life

i came back to this video, everybody sleeps on Cameron Monaghan's twin Jokers in Gotham

I'm still waiting for that Dr. Who theory Matt Patt.... *cocks gun*

I know what the joker's actual name is... Joe Kerr 😮

As the newest Joker comes out, I’ve searched forever for this video because it explains so much!!

When u watch in 2019 and saw the joker 2019 trailer

MatPat is becoming a sellout... He leaves us with a cliffhanger even though you can finish the theory in 5 mins. In fact he has been doing A LOT of part 2 theories that aren't even that complex...

Suicide squad sounds like a group of people who save people from suicides.

Your sense of humor is great. If I want to laugh a lot I watch your videos. But if I want to laugh and something a little darker I watch The Theorizer’s videos. You both are great

This was the most enjoyable cliff hanger ever. Probably helps part 2 is available immediately lol.

man Mat Pat you sure love your two part theories don't ya.

Nananananananananananananananana BATPAT!

I love how you center things.

What About the 2019 joker that Means there ARE 4 jokers.

2019 joker fits in where, and i know you are seeing this.

But..... what about LEGO Batman

According to the 3 joker comic you are correct

The thing I love the most about these older theory videos.. has to be the intro music

There was no math... now i feel empty :(

I think the newest joker is the pshycopath bc he says the lines, "I don't want to kill you I'm just gonna hurt really really badly!"

i love this channel it has the answers to everything

Wait I just realized something about the three jokers there's joe chill, the one from the new movie and the one from the dark knight

I'm like 90% sure you accidentally gave away which joker it is in the thumbnail.

Maybe you can be called.... BATPAT! No? Okay. I'll leave now.

MatPat, I'll understand if there's just not enough theory material for it, but if at all possible you should do a Batman Who Laughs theory. As I have no clue what's available there to theorize, I won't be surprised if there's just nothing for you to talk about. I'm just loving the character, is all.

This is years before we got the three jokers comic book issues and it holds up : The Criminal, The Clown (prankster), The Comedian (psychopath)

it's been 13 days, still no part 2, MatPat is probably dead or out of diet Coke, but he probably just got kidnapped

I thlugh the Batman parody intro was going to say "Bat Pat" or something

"Who is jared leto's joker?!" I'll tell you who he is... He's not a joker,just an edgy teen with guns and a lot of money

2:20 Wow you foreshadowed not only your next joker theory but also 'The Batman that laughs' 😂
