While at Arkham, John became obsessed with Bruce Wayne later on saving his life and his activities in the public's optics.

The 2 (optionally) connect, with John besides revealing some facts well-nigh Vicki Vale's by that Bruce previously did not know (such every bit her having been born Victoria Arkham).
John agrees to help Bruce escape from Arkham in commutation for a favor, which Bruce can cull to promise to grant or not. Either way, John helps Bruce get out of Arkham. Still, to exercise this, John makes fellow inmate Victor Zsasz attempt and murder another patient.

It is revealed that John has been released from Arkham for good behavior, and has listed Bruce as his emergency contact. He afterward meets with Bruce at Lucius Play a joke on's funeral and tries to call in the favor Bruce owes him. He also reveals that he's fallen in with some "interesting people" who turn out to be the group of criminals Bruce is later on called "The Pact".

Episode Iii: Fractured Mask
John helps Bruce and Catwoman interruption into the belatedly Riddler'southward now abandoned lair looking for information on how to get into his laptop (which Harley Quinn has possession of and wants to decrypt).
During this adventure, John shows a willingness to beat GCPD Detective Harvey Bullock with a crowbar if Bruce does non intervene, and after, when Bruce and John have drinks together outside a coffee store with the former giving optional dating communication of the latter being himself when talking with Harley, John admits that he can feel "someone" inside him that is trying to go out. The words John uses in describing this "someone" makes information technology articulate that it is a darker and more than violent side of him, one that Bruce can urge him to either suppress or let out. As Batman, he can also run across with John Doe and teach him how to throw a Batarang after John has gotten Riddler'due south laptop for him and non Catwoman if she wasn't warned virtually Gordon and the GCPD ambushing her.
Subsequently, when both Bruce and Catwoman are in hot water with The Pact, John urges Bruce to give up Catwoman to save himself, which Bruce can choose to do so or not.
Episode Four: What Ails Y'all
John, alongside the other members of the Pact, storm the Bodhi Spa and the SANCTUS Research Facility. John will briefly assist Bruce/Batman against Blight and Mr. Freeze during the battle (and if Batman taught him how to throw a Batarang after stealing Riddler's laptop instead of Catwoman if Batman chose not to warn her about Commissioner Gordon's ambush, and then he will use it). However, during the anarchy, Harley Quinn flees, leaving John Doe backside.
Heartbroken past this, John escapes himself, returning to the Pact's hideout, the abandoned Old 5 Points subway station, to drown in his sorrows. Nevertheless, when Harley Quinn returns and discovers that the Agency was there without John knowing, she punches him in the face and leaves in disgust. Bruce and Special Agent Iman Avesta then stumble upon the distraught John Doe, who lashes out at Bruce for his advice and despairing over how he's lost everything: The Pact, his dreams, and Harley. Nevertheless, Bruce (whether forcefully or with genuine empathy), convinces John that they have a common enemy in Harley and that they demand to stop her together. John then goes to find Harley on his own.
Later, John tells Bruce his location, and Bruce goes to see him. Once at the abandoned Bonus Brothers Carnival, he discovers three dead Agency operatives; John killed them, and the latter claims that it was in self-defense. Bruce has to determine whether to go along trusting John or not.
- If Bruce agrees to piece of work with John and believes he killed the agents in self-defence anyway, John happily embraces him, reaffirming their friendship, and they then go off to terminate Harley together. John helps finish Harley on the bridge past pretending to be there to help her, only to disarm her of both the bomb trigger and LOTUS Virus vial. Harley angrily condemns him and vows revenge, but John has at last seen that Harley does non truly honey him. Amanda Waller congratulates John for his efforts and then demands that he manus over the LOTUS Virus. John refuses, believing that no one should have it. Waller then coldly pulls a gun on John and tries to kill him earlier she is stopped past Bruce. This sends John into a rage, and he stabs Amanda Waller, detonates the bombs on the bridge, and vows that he and Batman will bring the Bureau to justice together and that it will be "so much fun".
Episode 5: Aforementioned Stitch
- Two weeks later, John Doe emerges as a Batman-inspired wannabe vigilante calling himself "The Joker". At first still friendly to Batman and actively helping him against Waller, the Bureau and her special task forcefulness (a coerced Bane, Harley and Catwoman), when Batman and Waller blackmail each other into an impasse (Batman tin asking Waller to either let Avesta go out the Agency peacefully and without prosecution, remove Catwoman from her special task strength due to non being like the rest of the Pact, have Harley and Bane released from her special task forcefulness but then have the pair incarcerated at Blackgate Prison for their crimes, or don't make a request; regardless of either choice in which Waller will agree to if he agrees to hand over Joker to which Batman tin can either agree to or refuse to practise and then, only regardless she will still agree to his called request), an enraged Joker goes berserk and attacks. The situation escalates into a chaotic rooftop battle with Joker on one side, Batman on another, and the Agency alongside Waller's special job force trying to take down both. Joker ultimately ends the battle by detonating ii mannequin bombs, and in the anarchy escapes with Waller as a hostage.
- Taking her to the abandoned Ace Chemicals constitute, Joker tries to get Waller to confess to murdering Riddler (a criminal offence Joker believes she had herself tried to pin on him), but she's innocent; it's really Tiffany Trick who is responsible. But at present out of control and lost in a vigilante-minded fervor, Joker snaps completely and tries to kill Waller anyway aslope Tiffany, with Batman intervening to cease him. Feeling betrayed and declaring himself a fool for having believed in Batman and his fashion of doing things righteously, even though Joker is beingness a fool right now for becoming the one thing Batman told him not to get and truly the one who betrayed Batman, Joker savagely murders three Agency operatives and engages Batman in a brutal fight that ends with Joker defeated and Batman besides injured to get up. Joker asks Batman if he ever considered himself his friend, in which Batman can either say yeah or no. If Batman says aye, Joker simply calls Batman "i messed upwardly guy." If Batman says no or says zip, Joker says that from now on they are enemies.
- Withal, all of this was merely a ploy on Joker's role; he cares about Bruce and paradoxically seeks to destroy him but also be his abiding nemesis as a means of having his friend in his life. He cares non for Harley's agenda, and in fact cuts a clandestine deal with Gordon to tell him where the remaining bombs are if Gordon will requite him Batman. Gordon agrees to it, and Batman is brought down by Joker and his men when trying to either meet with or rescue Gordon (depending on their human relationship when Waller was operating in Gotham).
- Stripping Batman of his Batsuit secretly and throwing him in the same carnival where Bruce first lost John's trust, he forces Bruce and those of his other friends and loved ones who Joker has kidnapped (Selina Kyle, Alfred Pennyworth, Tiffany), into a sadistic game of cat-and-mouse where he needles all of them over their by mistakes and the things they are most guilty of. However, Bruce turns the tables past either exposing Joker's treachery to Harley or asking for John to help save him from Harley leading to Joker attempting to stop Harley from killing Bruce. Either scenario sends Harley into a rage. In the confusion, Bruce frees himself and Selina, and a fight breaks out. Harley is defeated and Joker flees, with Bruce in pursuit. Whether Bruce tries to reason with Joker or not, the latter attacks him in a deranged fury, but ultimately loses the battle. Seemingly dead, Joker is given CPR by Bruce with a Bat-Stunner, and and so asks Bruce why he saved them, and Bruce may answer from a few unlike choices.
- Joker then reminds Bruce of their conversation at the café before remarking how a part of him always knew someone like Bruce would never really exist friends with someone similar him despite wanting to believe it and so badly. He asks Bruce if he ever still considered himself Joker's friend deep downwards equally well and if he enjoyed what they had together when they were still friends, in which Bruce tin either say yes or no. If Bruce says yes (admitting they had good times together as friends) or nothing, Joker will still stab him but instead say that he hopes that, whenever Bruce sees that scar, he will call up their "good times" before laughing maniacally until he falls unconscious. If Bruce says no (declaring that he wish that he had never met him at all), Joker will sorrowfully stab Bruce and state that he says the cruelest things but doesn't actually mean them and he'll be the knife in his side until the stop of fourth dimension or until he finally "bleeds out" before he starts laughing maniacally until he falls unconscious. If Bruce says nada, Joker volition stab him in the abdomen with displeasure earlier saying what he says if Bruce answered yes, implying that Joker thinks that Bruce's answer was yes.
After the credits of either version, Joker is seen back in Arkham Asylum. What he does inside his jail cell depends on Bruce's final choices with Joker and Alfred.
- Vigilante Joker: Joker sits on his bed, in regret over his deportment.
- Considered Joker equally your friend: Bruce arrives to pay Joker a visit afterwards his imprisonment, much to the latter's delight.
- Told Joker he was never your friend: Joker stays beside the window and waits for Batman to present himself afterwards seeing the Bat-Point in the heaven.
- Gave up Alfred: Joker sees Batman from far abroad, states he knew Bruce "would never abandon him, and that nil can keep enemies similar them apart", and laughs maniacally.
- Gave up the mantle of Batman: Joker becomes angry when the Bat-Signal turns off and that Batman never appears, shattering a pic of him and Bruce or Batman together.
- Villain Joker: Joker sits on his bed, playing with a doll of Bruce.
- Agreed with Joker that you had proficient times with him as his friend: Joker mimics Bruce'southward concluding words to him and draws a smile on the doll's face, happy that he was proven right about Bruce's admittance of enjoying their friendship while it lasted.
- Disagreed by telling him you wish that you had never met him at all: Joker mimics Bruce'due south final words to him and burns the doll with a lighter, promising to see him again and swearing that he volition e'er exist his enemy to the very stop.
Quotes
Trivia
- The character is one of the near sympathetic incarnations of the Joker to brand an appearance in official media alongside the Joker from The Killing Joke, Martha Wayne from the DC Flashpoint comics, and Arthur Bit from the 2019 blockbuster Joker.
- He has also received critical acclamation, with many critics noting how this is one of the beginning truly sympathetic portrayals of the Joker to ever come along and praising the player's ability to shape John'south decisions and affect what kind of a character he volition become.
- As a friend of Bruce Wayne's with a night side that the player tin try to aid him fight against or else mistreat him to bring it out faster, he is in some ways similar to Harvey Dent/Two-Face. Nonetheless, he differs from Harvey in that his particular mental illness is conspicuously different, equally is his general excitable and humorous personality. His backstory, goals, and connection to Catwoman are all too unlike. Also just like Harvey, both tin somewhat exist redeemed (Harvey tin spare some hostages before trying to kill himself out of guilt and John can stay friends with Bruce despite everything he did).
- Unlike well-nigh depictions, where Joker is the abusive manipulator and Harley the more sympathetic villain pining for love, in this version the roles are reversed; Joker desperately tries to gain Harley'due south approval, while Harley is an unloving psychopath who is only using him.
- Ironically, John'due south personality here, that of a lonely and insecure person who just wants to make people laugh and desires friendship and love, is strongly in-line with how most versions of Harley view their versions of the Joker. The difference is that hither that estimation would actually be correct, instead of merely delusional.
- If John becomes Villain Joker, it seems equally if Harley does grow to truly dearest and their relationship is more equal. She kisses John when he saves her on the bridge in Episode 4 and passionately makes out with John at the dinner table in Episode 5.
- However, it's clear that even in the Villain Joker path, Harley is however using him equally a pawn to become what she wants, as if Bruce doesn't do anything to cease Harley from releasing the LOTUS virus in the carnival, she will still release it despite the fact that John Doe isn't wearing a gas mask, pregnant she was willing to impale him as he was no longer useful. This makes her a hypocrite, seeing as she blames John for choosing Bruce over her if the latter reveals that John gave Gordon the map, even though she doesn't care well-nigh him and is only out for herself.
- His willingness to hit Harvey Bullock over the head with a crowbar references Joker's crowbar beating of Jason Todd in the comics and the animated motion picture adaptation, Under the Red Hood.
- There are many differences between Vigilante Joker and Villain Joker.
- Vigilante Joker only kills three people in self-defense after they started shooting at him. Villain Joker kills hundreds if not thousands of people with the LOTUS Virus Gas.
- Vigilante Joker can exist saved/redeemed equally he tin stay friends with Bruce despite his crimes, while Villain Joker cannot exist saved or redeemed.
- Vigilante Joker cared for his men. If Batman saves Special Agent Roger Harrison over Willy Deever, Joker is horrified and saddened by Willy's expiry, and if Batman hesitates, Joker volition save Willy himself. Villain Joker kills one of his ain men and doesn't show any 18-carat care for anyone except for Bruce and Harley.
- John has admitted that he has a hard time taking rejection and his outbursts are a result of being antisocial. This shows John Doe may accept antisocial personality disorder.
- John seems to believe that his greenish hair is natural since he doesn't remember a time when it wasn't greenish.
- Information technology is questionable as to how he was legally kept at Arkham Asylum, given that at that place was no record of him being committed there.
- It is possible that John was a victim of Thomas Wayne, although this is just a speculative theory.
