So, DC Rebirth is happening. After Rebirth the Justice League is having a very important event; Well, maybe. In either Justice League #51 or #52, DC is revealing the name Batman was given while on the Mobius Chair as the real name of the Joker!

This could be very exciting news. The problem I have is, if DC has had a Rebirth and Justice League #51 or #52 takes place in the New 52 universe, which will be gone after Rebirth; will the information that is given to us remain true in the Rebirth Universe? I think the answer to that question will remain a mystery for many years. I think people will be talking about the identity of the Joker, and when DC needs to shake things up again, the name of the Joker will be revealed again as someone different. I think the Joker’s identity that we learn will be the New 52 Identity and the pre-New 52 identity would be different as well as the Rebirth Identity.

I think and have thought for a long time that the identity of the Joker is Thomas Wayne, the Batman’s father.

We shall see what happens.
