In Justice League #42, Batman sat on the Mobius Chair, which granted him access to all knowledge. He tested it out first by asking who killed his parents and, yup, it said Joe Chill. He used it again, this time asking "What's the Joker's true name?" and while the chair did respond, only Batman heard the answer, leaving us to just see his shocked reaction. Come Justice League #50, on sale May 25, Johns and Fabok will finally tell us what Batman heard.Given that the Joker's origin has generally always been a mystery, with the Joker himself famously saying in The Killing Joke, "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!", some fans might not even want to know the answer because it would ruin the character's mystique."The answer probably won't be an answer people predict," Johns told us in an interview after the DC Rebirth event Who do you think the Joker could be? It's probably not some nobody, otherwise it wouldn't cause a huge shock when it's revealed, so it would have to be a recognizable, pre-existing character in DC Comics. Let us know your guesses in the comments.
