Well, this is just stupid. Not only are we getting three Jokers
Spoiler: show
(there have been three Jokers all this time)
, but they're adding the Watchmen in their like it's nothing. Wasn't Watchmen supposed to be a stand-alone deconstruction of not only the Superhero genre, but the entire comic medium itself?
And yes, the universe Dr. Manhattan created, was, in fact , the New 52.

No, actually, Alan Moore originally used an existing superhero team and was initially sceptical about the story working with original characters when he was told he couldn't turn the newly purchased license (the Mighty Crusaders) 'dead or dysfunctional'. He later warmed up to it.

He might as well, given that the DC line of the team he originally used was discontinued in less than a year, and the characters weren't used after that until Archie comics tried to revive the team in 2012. At least Wikipedia tells me so, I went to double-check my Watchmen knowledge.

Poor doctor Manhattan. He would have liked his creation to become something amazing. Instead it became the New 52.

If there be here lesson or moral, it lies beyond the competence of him who wrote this post.

Not only that, but despite the events of Watchmen, there's the fact that he still essentially just ends up recreating humanity.

My theory is that one of the Jokers will be Thomas Wayne. Here's how it could've happened, when Superboy Prime punched time/dimensions, he broke the coffin of Thomas and some of the Lazarus Pit or Dionesium got into it. Thomas was dead a good 25-30 years and it brought him back, but crazy. The thinness of the Joker? He's been dead for 30 years, fat will decay. The smile on Joker? The skin receding from his mouth as he decomposed. The white skin? lack of sunlight for 3 decades will do that. And the Lazarus Pit is always shown as green, so maybe the color faded from his hair in the grave and was dyed by the liquid infusing itself into it, which would also give and explanation for how Joker keeps coming back, he's a walking Lazarus Pit. It's why The Joker hasn't ever killed Batman because he knows it's his son deep down and Bruce sort of feels that connection, too.

Hey, it's better than half the crap they've been farting out.
