Which Lantern Corps Should The Joker Be In? 

If joker became a black lantern and control a zombie army, imagine if Batman had to fight HIS OWN PARENTS!

When talking about the will ring, ya forgot to mention scarecrow used his gas on joker once and then joker proceeded to beat him with a chair

I like the idea of a comic where Joker is forced into the Indigo Lanterns, only for him to be immune to its compassion, its not that the ring isn't working, but his insanity makes him physically incapable of feeling compassion, so instead he uses the ring for a crime/murder spree.

Joker would 100% be choosen by the compassion core.

ultraviolet is the only one that makes sense. considering they thrive in chaos and anarchy, the joker would be a god among their ranks.

Unpopular opinion- Joker should be in the green lantern core of willpower. He has a will of iron that is matched only by Batman.

Joker works through fear but he never acts out of fear. He in fact is hardly every portrayed as scared in any way

Sinestro vs Joker: Joker would probably be sneaky instead of pulling a direct fight. Inject him with the Joker Venom. Sinestro would have a tough time dishing out fear when he's laughing uncontrollably until his heart stops. But, here's my much DIFFERENT take: We have the Love, Fear, Will, Avarice, Hope, Rage and Compassion. Then Life and Death. But, I feel like the Corps are missing a key component of the emotional spectrum: Joy. That part of emotion which brings us laughter, and content. However, in Joker's twisted and psychotic mind, killing and torturing, and playing his whimsical game with Batman is what brings him such joy, and is his driving force in everything he does. So, I propose a new Corps, the Joy Corps, which the Joker would most definitely fit in with. I even feel it would make an interesting storyline. The new Joy Corps is constructed, under the belief that Joy itself is happiness, bliss, and so how could that be evil? The requirement, much like compassion, is that even through great hardship, they are able to still find joy and laugh in the face of adversity, and the Joker does exactly this. Rings are sent out, and the Joker finds himself in possession of one. By the way, DC, if you are reading this, I give complete permission for you to use this idea.

Joker can be a darkstar. Because he not garnered by any true emotions being he's an agent of chaos. And,has no qualms killing. Makes him suited to being a darkstar.

to be fair, the indigo lantern ring is actually considered a cosmic punishment forcing people to have great compassion when they had none previously (its why the indigo ring winds up on a lot of monstrous villians in comics..aside from Atom but that was willingly given to him during "Brightest Day")

The black lanterns are lawful evil, while the Joker is chaotic evil: the Joker doesn’t “worship” death, he simply has no problems killing people. For this reason, the Joker cannot be a black lantern.

Also with Joker overcoming fear, I'm pretty sure he's admitted to huffing or injecting Scarecrow's fear toxin just for kicks.

The thing is, Joker doesn't literally worship death. He kills people because its tragic, it's something society says he's not supposed to do, its ammoral, it hurts people, it may push someone closer to giving up on hope like he did. If anything, he worships chaos and pain as he seems to have taken the philosophy of slapstick comedy to the extreme and he finds pain, someone being the butt of the joke, funny. And the bigger the better, because he's theatrical and loves a spectacle. He can't seem to take a breath without killing someone, but he's also too lively with his motivations to do it and how he does it, if that makes sense. So I really don't think he's a fit for the black lantern corp. Indigo would probably be best for him but tbh if you just follow this guy's stories in the comics you'll find that he is portrayed as being strongly motivated by most of these things. "The Man Who Laughs" He's motivated by rage. (First appearance in modern age canon btw) "Death of the Family" says that according to his pupils, they stay in a perpetual pin-prick state until he sees Batman, then they expand in the way that signifies feeling love "Knightfall" this could be will/fear but he gets a huge dose of fear toxin right in his face, pretends to be scared to get the drop on scarecrow, then laughs it off as he ruthlessly beats scarecrow with a wooden chair while insulting him. And since it's also been explained that he has all these conflicting emotional/psychological states because he has a condition not completely understood by Arkham psychologists, dubbed "Super Sanity" that allows his mind to mold itself to adapt to any given situation, hence why he never seems to break in situations where he's under a lot of stressors (torture, interrogations, looking death in the face, watching his scheme fall apart) According to the comics that subscribe to this (which are modern age canon(not to be confused with New Age or Rebirth canon)) Its is also possibly like ESP so his brain just sort of knows how it needs to be wired on a given day, which explains why some days he'll be more goofy prankster rather than serial killer clown or mastermind crime lord. So I kind of come to the conclusion that Joker's whole deal is more cognitive than emotional, and his inconsistent mental and emotional state wouldn't really qualify him as a candidate for any of the lantern corps. Hell, any rings that would come across him by chance would probably struggle to get a reading on him like he's anomaly or something.

I personally feel Jokers character is more strongly written when he DOESN'T kill people, like in the cartoons. Because then it makes him more menacing due to all his victims have to live through what he's done. Plus death is rarely a good punchline even in black comedy and I think Joker would know that. Plus it makes the few times he did kill someone more impactful, it's why white knights depiction of the Joker is something I really like. So my preferred version of the joker would not be a fit for the black lantern ring at all. But I think him getting both and indigo and a green lantern ring due to technicalities and using both would be just as crazy as him controlling a black lantern ring.

Joker does love He loves Batman And that love is so strong then when Batman died he literally went sane again

The Joker doesn't worship death. He has no respect for life. Two different things.

He wouldn't be in a corp because he can't be trusted none of them would take him cuz he always seem to over come his sane mind and go back to being criminally insane

When I hear him say the most powerful weapons are rings, The One Ring To Rule Them All

Joker 2019 might be more like Rage at least the Joker at the end.

My I suggest... Cyan? He's in a constant state of in-Cyan-ity! And we all know that somewhere between willpower (green) and hope (blue), there's something just *crazy* enough to work!

Green because it would go good with his hair

He could be hope, because although he lost hope for a normal life, he still has immense overwhelming hope that eventually one day he will beat the dark knight and make batman like himself. If he didn’t have hope, he wouldn’t persist, and wouldn’t go for such a big challenge.

Black Hand went completely insane after Hal Jordan as The Spectre disintegrated Black Hand's hand at the beginning of Green Lantern Re-Birth (2004-5)

Indigo. His love of the bat is without limit or reason.

Joker roles alone, or MAY suffer tag-alongs, but he ain't gonna be part of no corps.

So if there was a lantern Corp for the crazy then he would be a god

Joker’s relationship with batman was described at it’s best in the Arkham games

This video made me realize a perfect future plotline for the Batman Who Laughs. He is so perfect for the Black Lantern core, and since his bat-god-sugar-mama is tied up at the moment, he could ally himself with the Black Lantern core to help him fulfill his goal of destroying everything.

I think the Ultraviolet Corp would be a good fit. I don't know much but from what I can tell it gets the user to accept their primal instincts and desires, that things like "morals" muddle-up and act as limiters to one's potentials. It feeds into his anarchy and chaos, and more importantly his duality with Batman and trying to get him to break, to give in. Also works with his phrase "'All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day." How he wanted to Push Gordon by seeing the horrendous state Barbara was in. Then of course the infamous case with The Dark Knight and Harvey and the stunt with the people on the Boats. Basically showing that things like morals and societal restrictions are the real delusions and if every one reaches that point like he did then that is their true nature, which I think the Ultraviolet Corps encapsulates so well as far as I can tell.

18:57 "Little game of Bat and Mouse" AAHHH I SEES YOU

Try doing: "Which lantern corps is thanos in?"

Injustice 3. Black ring joker. "Revives" super man's friends kills them again. Repeat.

Joker does have compassion. He simply uses it as a weapon to drive others insane. He understands what its like to have a terrible day and what his killings do. He just uses it to his advantage. That's why he is such an incredible speaker. He gets you.

He'd either work best with yellow or green. Yellow because he can instill fear in EVERYONE in Gotham, not just good guys, but also in other bad guys. The Green Lanterns wouldn't give him one, but most of his plans are brought about by meticulous planning and an overwelming drive to get shit done, aka will power. Joker does love Batman though. Not romantically (though he has joked about it once in awhile) he truly does love Batman and doesn't know what he'd do without his greatest opponent. I can see him being brought back by a black ring and overpowering it's control. In fact, that sounds like an Injustice 3 plot. But the other two I said would suit him better to me.

I feel the joker and Batman have a screwed up kind of love thing going and part of reson why he wants Batman to break his rule to make him a better hero in the end so I belive he has a strong compaction to Batman even if it's fed up also l also feel joker would see the nutral end with the ring and avoid it so agree DEATH

Joker is definitely compassion, not because he has a compassionate heart but because the Compassion core also takes villains And people with a great deal of Compassion, that doesn't mean the Joker has compassion but the ring makes them feel a massive amount of Compassion to the point where they don't want to take the ring off so that they atone for their crimes

I vaguely thought that one of the limitations of the yellow core was that beings that can't or don't feel fear are unable to wield the rings, which is a reason that some people have argued scarecrow would be a very weak lantern (given that scarecrow's experiments have change his brain chemistry enough to mess with the fear response.)

Joker imo is by far the most complicated in the question of which Lantern Corps he could be best suited in. I honestly am undecided because of just how unpredictable and insane he is, but if I had to choose one it would be Death as well (or Ultraviolet). :)

Agreed. I've suggested a while ago that perhaps the reason the Joker never dies is because Nekron likes his work too much and doesn't want him to die.

Personally, I would give him a purple ring, he's completely fixated on Batman, putting on shows for him and does it all *for* Batman. Whenever Batman is possibly dead he usually tries to moves on living a pretty normal life, but still remembers the "good old days"

The joker really fits in the black Corp because hes like a controller of death just like Nekron (leader of the black lantern corp) and is also an outstanding character because example hes a puppet and people think hes being controled by the ventriloquist (batman) but in this cast the joker is a patient villain like he waits for batman to actually do what he'll really thinks he wont to and that is killing the joker because the joker really did want batman to kill him and i think that would've been a great plan to turn batman into like this opposite and become this villain and this may lead him to become maybe a black lantern (if he was not dead) but this is my reason why the joker should really be in the black lantern corps as well

What if Joker was forced to wear a ring of compassion? 😶😶😶

6:36 “white power ring”

Very good points about Joker's lantern corp and interesting plots you proposed. But what does the Joker fear? Remembering his old self, being ordinary, the IRS, being killed by nobody important and the Creeper are all that come to my mind. The last three are from the animated series and maybe he fears the Creeper taking his place as the chaos to Batman's order.

The music and his voice just work (I’m talking about needlemouse)

Compassion. I'm calling it before watching

Sinestro has moments where he’s not exactly a villain. Occasionally he will over look his hatred of the green lanterns for disavowing him if the situation arises. Hence why he was able to be a white lantern. Keep in mind the main reason he even became a yellow lantern in the first place was his immense fear of losing his family and home and thus used that fear to attempt to protect it in his dictatorship, unwittingly fulfilling the prophecy that inspired him to do just that

When he mentioned about the black lantern Corp as the the main antagonist for injustice 3 if it's ever made. I just kept thinking about how all those killed by the regime/superman coming back to life with the memories of who killed them. What an amazing story that would be.

To make an argument for the white ring: Despite Joker's lack of all hope whatsoever, he keeps on living. Joker just experiences life and does whatever he wants, so I think it would be a good fit

I think your reading on Avarice was wrong. I think it's PERFECT for him. The Orange Lantern of Avarice would naturally be the only member of it's corps since they're greedy and don't share. Joker doesn't work well with others anyway so a lantern corps where he's the only member fits beautifully. And he's ABSOLUTELY greedy when it comes to Batman, to the point where he'll go out of his way to fuck with other villains who might come close to killing Batman simply because he wants it to himself.

I so agree with the fact that once you take Batman out of the equation Jokers world will be completely gone so that's as far as will goes

Lmao I was just dreaming about this yesterday

You make such good videos! I love them! Whenever I’m wondering something you’ve already made a video about it and it’s awesome! Never stop making them!

Yellow for Joker. Thaal Sinestro better look out!

Compassion- it’s been mentioned that those rings are either given to people with great compassion or no compassion at all. If joker was given a compassion ring it would actually make sense for him to be a beneficial member of the corps.

a + for the will power. In a crossover with "The Mask" the Joker wear the mask (from the comics/Jim Carrey movie) and only the one who wear the mask can remove it. But in the comics the more you wear the mask and more it has power over you. The Joker maneged to take back control and remove the mask and even have his hear pop up from the Masked Joker neck and tell him he's not funny.

He loves Batman, completely fixated on Batman, obsessed even. The thing about the lantern corps is that they don't discuss ethics or reasoning. As long as you have the single condition then you are granted a ring. I think the joker fits into the love corps, no matter how twisted his "love" for Batman may be.

What about the green arrow which lantern core would he be in

I think he and Batman should both be in the yellow lantern core in the same comic, that would be awesome.

The newly formed Ultraviolet Corps. For those unaware, they are formed of the darkest chaotic instincts that inspire people to commit to their evil sides. Joker being the pure incarnation of chaos would fit even more so in.

Joker should be in the yellow lantern corp

I didn't realise how dope a white Batman would look. Makes me look even more forward to a Moon Knight movie, if they ever decide to make one.

The Joker would be indeed perfect fit for Black Lantern Corp for Injustice 3. I would imagine since after the ending of MK 11, the new heroes/boss villain would be the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor since they control time. They could bring in the Joker from another timeline as Sinestro Corp and John Doe Joker as a Blue Lantern Corp member from the Telltale Enemy WIthin.

Give him an indigo ring and you basically make him Santa Claus.

I think the joker should be in the insanity corp

What core would Damien Wayne be in?

Indigo power ring: **FLYING INTENSIFIES** Details: Following [the Indigo Power Ring's] creation, Abin Sur departed the planet Nok in order to capture his arch-enemy Iroque. He placed the Power Ring on her which transformed her from a psychopathic criminal into a repentant one who regretted her past actions as well as showed remorse over them. Seeing this affect, he began to collect other criminals from across the cosmos and fitted them with Power Rings on Nok where they became known as the Indigo Tribe. Edit: Because technically indigo isn't purple?

Damn when you said “he just wants to watch the world burn” with that accent of yours it gave me such a nostalgic feeling

Do which Lantern Corps the Suicide Squad should be in

In the LEGO DC games, he does actually love Harley, but I know that’s not what we are talking about.

keep up the good work man

That was a really good argument for the fear lanterns not being a perfect fit.

Are you ever going to consider the ultraviolet lanterns?

Where was Joker during Blackest Night? I mean if Lex had a legion of undead coming after him for his actions, Joker should have his own zombie apocalypse.

Joker would make a whole new lantern corps based on the emotion "Whimzy" (The rings would be rainbow hued or, to be more precise, iridescent (Changes hues and can appear as any color), and their power is based on the primal power of chaos itself.

I agree that the joker shouldn't be in the love corps but think about this; the joker did everything he has done out of love. for his wife. he entered crime just to get money to help his wife, the whole reason he is the joker is due to the love for his wife, just somthing to think about. liked the video keep up the good work mate.

So I gave this a long thought and thought of this myself. I figured out a story line where Joker would be a Proud Blue Lantern. To explain, he doesn’t start as a blue lantern in this story line. A full gathering of all lanterns gather on earth and Joker is visited by the Lust lanterns. You forgot about another form love and Lust. The joker’s love for insanity. Gaining the love ring, Joker suddenly see’s the world in another light. He’s troubled... he no longer gains the same joy from killing as much as he once knew. He begins the journey to the blue lantern core, starting on the pink ring. He loves his sanity, but trying to be good, he begins to respect the feeling of compassion. The compassion core then greets him and recruits him from love. Joker keeps soul searching on this journey and gets wrapped up in the dimensional hell. He watches all the villainous versions of himself and then it dawns on him what Batman has been saying to him. He can be good if he really wanted too, and he does. In another dimension, however, he’s greeted by a Batman that gave up the hope of turning his Joker good. The Joker realizes that out of the infinite versions of himself, he’s the only one that see’s good is the better way then evil. He realizes as the other Batman abandons his hope for his Joker to be good, The Compassion Joker comes to turns with being Good and realizes he can be the simple of Hope for the goodness that secretly lies in nearly all Jokers. Thus Blue Lantern Joker is born. With this being said, however, I’m now curious. Who would win in a fight. Black lantern Joker VS Blue Lantern Joker

Joker should be in the Black Lantern core since Joker is an agent of chaos who causes nothing but death and misery to anyone who wronged him or not. This is due to the fact about he sees the world as a giant joke and hes the only one who sees the punch line.

"The joker is a total wild card" 😅 no pun intended

Yellow Lantern Joker vs Blue Lantern Superman. That would be a beautiful fight to watch.

A cool comic idea is if the Joker had 1 of each ring and and fought green lantern we can call him : Joker Lantern

He should be in the GAMER CORPS Gamers Rise Up

Weirdly enough hope can fit, if you look at Joker movie joker, despite being pushed around, beaten down, and even seen as a criminal no matter what, he actually believes that standing up for himself will make a difference, at least for him.

You know I was thinking d.c. should think about creating an alternate universe where the Joker did get a compassion power ring

Needlemouse productions mislabeled injustice gods amount us with Batman the killing joke

Cant wait for joker movie

It would be cool if joker put on a green ring and instantly used it perfectly.

If there was a Chaos Corp, that's where Joker would go, he's chaos incarnate

Harley Quinn Thicc in BatMan TAS

Do witch lantern corps the Flash family should be in.

This was very special and specific

Whichever ring he obtained would be corrupted by the Joker’s futility

Fear?? “100%”?? What in the hell qualifies him for fear? You did not explain.

He shouldn't. He is an unworthy heir for any of the Rings.

I'd put him in Yellow. When I read the comics in the 90's he loved to instill fear, keep people guessing and on edge. But yeah, he wouldn't follow rules for long. He'd probably kill Sinestro.

Don't bother doing "Which lantern corp would scarecrow be in?" Because we all know it's fear

Fear simple

Joker could be in the love corps because we all know Joker X Batman is real ;)

Fun fact: When you were talking about the Hope section of the Joker I recall a moment where heroes lead by the Martian Manhunter were going through the Joker's mind which is as chaotic as you would imagine it to be but there is one small part of it where there seemed to be a normal looking joker with his wife living a normal life. The Martian Manhunter provided this as proof that the Joker had a shred of humanity still left in him. As small as it might be there might still be hope inside the Joker after all.

The fact that it is indeed laughable that Joker would be a White Lantern, I say this is obviously the answer.
