About Joker

The Joker is a clown-themed criminal/vigilante operating in Gotham. Initially a patient at Arkham Asylum known as "John Doe", Joker became an ally of Bruce Wayne while he was imprisoned at the asylum. After being discharged from the asylum, Joker became associated with a group of criminals called the Covenant, who he wanted Bruce to get involved with. After the group disbanded, Bruce/Batman's actions took a toll on the Joker and he eventually became one of the biggest threats Batman has ever faced.

Bruce and John in Arkham

When Bruce was committed to Arkham Asylum, John came to his aid by assaulting two other inmates who were attacking him. When Leland arrived, John tried to blame Bruce for the fight, claiming that he had single-handedly fought them off. He remained present as the billionaire was introduced to staff and escorted out of the cell. During the trip to the lobby, John chatted with Leland, although he kept his eyes on Bruce to keep him away from some of the other inmates. He also intimidated several inmates, including one who tried to use the phone. After they reached the lobby, John forced "Sane Lewis" out of his seat and went to get Leland's television remote. Before leaving, he gave Bruce a key. When he returned, John switched the television to Gotham City's news channel, where he watched several reports on Harvey Dent's actions as mayor. While watching a report on Vicki Vale's disappearance, John revealed that he knew her identity as Lady Arkham, information he suspected Bruce also knew. When Bruce confirmed their mutual knowledge of him, John offered to help free him, noting a "darker side" to him. He revealed his past as a member of the Arkham family and the reasons for her crusade against Bruce. John offered to free Bruce, but asked for a favor in return. Regardless of whether Bruce agrees, John started a mutiny by cutting Zsasz, giving him a "count mark" and a knife. This led to the serial killer attacking another inmate, distracting the orderlies long enough for Bruce to make a phone call. Some time after the mutiny, John was returned to his cell, where he surprised Bruce dating his butler. As she passes him, John reminds her of the deal or tells her to investigate the Vales, depending on whether she followed through with his plan.

Leaving Arkham

When the Sons of Arkham instigated a breakout at Arkham, John was among the freed inmates. However, unlike the others, he was not involved in the chaos and simply watched it unfold. After watching Batman defeat Zsasz, John congratulated the vigilante. When GCP police stormed the diner, John remained calm and allowed them to take him into custody. The following week, John was discharged from Arkham and was able to manipulate Leland into signing the documents. It was possible that he had organized the attack at Commissioner James Gordon's rally. Regardless of his fault, John observed the event on Stacked Deck, during which he saw either Bruce or Batman subdue the attacker. Amused by the events, John vowed to see Bruce again or get over the attack.

John with the Covenant

During his year of freedom, John stated that he had found it difficult to readjust to society. However, he also met some of the world's most dangerous criminals and formed a group known as the Covenant. Because of those connections, John became one of the most sought-after people in the world for The Agency and its director, Amanda Waller. Following an attack on Wayne Enterprises orchestrated by the Riddler, John decided to invoke Bruce's favor, although the motive behind this is unknown.

The agency

It is unknown who founded the Agency or what its main operations were. Officials of the organization, if allowed, could bypass local authorities with impunity and take over the operations of the highest-ranking official. The Agency had a long history of unethical operations, including civil rights violations, national black sites, and decentralized accountability. When Amanda Waller became its director, these accusations were silenced and the Agency became one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. Before Waller became director, an Agency cell called SANCTUS had developed a biological weapon codenamed Project LOTUS. Although Waller was thought to have shut it down, the organization survived and continued to operate secretly. Waller also used the Agency's resources to carry out operations, such as the disappearance of two whistleblowers and cover-ups of the true identity of the Riddler, a criminal they had hired as a SANCTUS investigator. After learning that Riddler had escaped from a revived SANCTUS, the Agency began pursuing the criminal, hoping to find and dismantle the organization. They also began searching for the associates that the criminal had included in his own organization, the Pact, and set out to capture them. Despite constantly tracking him in multiple areas of the world, the Agency never successfully captured the Riddler, due to their knowledge of his methods. They would eventually trace the Covenant to Gotham City, where Riddler had been active prior to his employment with the Agency.

The pact

The next morning, Bruce followed up or contacted John, who decided to accept his offer to join the Covenant. Found on Stacked Deck in the middle of "group therapy" with Willy Deever, John ended the session to meet with the billionaire. If Bruce placed the tracking device on him, John reveals that he knew about it, expressing his annoyance at doing so, but apparently forgave him for putting it on. During the conversation, John admitted to having lied about Riddler's involvement in the group, although he denied any responsibility for murdering him. He promised to keep no more secrets between him and Bruce, offering a pinky oath. While John contacted Harley to let her know, Willy attempted to attack Bruce. If Bruce decides to subdue Willy, John will record the incident. Anyway, they set off to meet the other members of the Covenant. After receiving a text message from Harley letting him know that he was interested in her, John told Bruce what he had decided and revealed his feelings for her. Stealing a car, he attempted to hook it up and introduced Harley when she arrived. At Harley's request, John got her a slushy, giving Bruce time to convince her of her motives. After the detour, she drove to Wayne Enterprises, where Quinn wanted Wayne to steal the Phalanx key for his operations. Although they initially promised to stay put, John and Harley followed Bruce to his office, knocking out a security guard and threatening President Regina Zellerbach as they went. When they reached the secret lab and vault, he looked around at the various tools and devices, including an EMP generator. When Bruce finally entered the vault, John stayed with Harley, but then followed him when he wondered what happened. Depending on whether Bruce lied to Tiffany at the funeral, the following will happen.

The pact

Bruce told Tiffany the truth about his involvement in Lucius' death, John discovers this in a conversation. Tempted to tell Harley, Bruce convinces him to keep quiet. Depending on whether Bruce gets Tiffany to give him the key, John will take the key to Harley, incurring his wrath, or he will be stunned during an escape attempt. If the latter happens, he will be present while Harley threatens Tiffany and forces Bruce to swear allegiance to the Covenant for his safety. After Bruce agrees or denies, John finds and gives the key to Harley to distract her. As they leave, Harley asks him to bring the EMP generator, as he has decided to use it for her next attack. If Bruce lied to Tiffany, John will be stunned with a Taser when he enters the vault. He is present as Harley threatens Tiffany and forces Bruce to swear allegiance to the Covenant for his safety. After Bruce agrees or denies, he finds the Phalanx key and gives it to Harley to distract her. As they leave, Harley asks John to bring the EMP generator, since he decided to use it for his next attack. After returning to Harley, John was able to convince the other members to meet with Bruce as they prepared to recover Riddler's body from the Agency. He contacted Bruce to give him an address to meet, sending some men to bring him to his lair. While Bane and Harley discussed whether to include him in the group, John "accidentally" activated the EMP Generator to prevent the former from killing the billionaire. When Harley tasked Bruce with gaining Bane and Freeze's approval, he approached John for advice on gaining his favor. Although he had no idea how to get Freeze's approval, he gave him a bottle of beer to get Bane to talk. When the group voted on whether to grant membership to Bruce, John voted for him, resulting in either a tie or a majority vote.

Con Catwoman

Depending on whether Bane or Harley was left behind, John helps collect payment from Catwoman or stays at her Ha-Hacienda. When the Covenant member returned from the fight, John watched the resulting confrontation that resulted in Quinn taking control of the group. When Harley gave Bruce the task of investigating the Riddler's hideout to find information about an Agency black site, she suggested that John help him. After he changed into something more suitable, they and Catwoman left to investigate the lair. After their arrival, John and Catwoman went to investigate the outside for the GCPD officers while Bruce checked the back. After they returned, he attempted to break down the fence with a crowbar, only for Bruce to step in and take over the task to avoid attracting attention. While investigating the scene, John and Catwoman remained outside and only entered when Bruce was confronted by Harvey Bullock at the scene. When John retrieved the crowbar to knock out Bullock, Bruce either allowed him to do it or took care of Bullock himself. Anyway, the three entered Riddler's lair and began their investigation. While Catwoman investigated the balcony, John and Bruce searched the lower area of ​​the hideout and discovered a trap left by Riddler. Bruce also interacted with John, during which John told him about his distrust of Catwoman and some of his history. When Bruce was able to solve the Riddler's trap, he and Catwoman insisted that John stay behind while they investigated the discovered elevator. When Catwoman tried to escape from her with the decryption unit, John just watched as Bruce tried to stop her and took pictures of her with her phone. After the battle, John overheard Catwoman mentioning her intention to steal the laptop in Harley's possession and decided to confront Bruce about it, but somewhere other than the Riddler's lair.

Con Bruce

After taking Bruce to the Sad Cafe, John ordered them drinks, which included a frappé for himself, and confronted Bruce to tell Harley about the laptop. John considered telling him to improve his opinion of him, but ultimately decided against it. After witnessing a flirtation between Bruce and Catwoman, John asked Bruce for some advice to help Harley notice him. Depending on whether Bruce advises him to be himself or manipulate her, he discusses possible role-playing scenarios with Bruce or uses impromptu Rorschach tests to discover more about the billionaire. When Bruce decided to leave to "tend to other business", John allowed him to leave and promised to pay for the drinks. Depending on how he responded, he will decide if he will help you steal the laptop. After Bruce left, John noticed the Bat-Signal glowing, which led him to realize that he was actually Batman or finally gave him proof of his suspicions of him. Deciding to help him, John followed Batman to the rooftop of the GCPD headquarters and caught the Dark Knight's attention by making shadow puppets with the Bat-Signal. After introducing himself for what seemed like the first time, John offered to help Batman arrest the Covenant and recover Riddler's laptop. However, John promised to do so only if he left her alone. John and Batman agreed to meet behind the Stacked Deck if he was successful, to which John agreed. After that, John took a selfie with his phone and showed it to Batman, who allowed him to keep it or destroyed the phone. If the latter was chosen, John was surprised by that action and expressed his disappointment at losing it. When Bruce returned to Old Five Points, John spoke to him and informed him that they took the opportunity to steal the laptop. When Harley came to check on them, John tried to offer to help her find the Agency mole, but was rebuffed and fired from her.

After the raid

After the raid, John fled back to Old Five Points to hide from the Agency, only to find their agents already there. After hiding in a place where they couldn't find him, John watched as Riddler's blood was stolen, both from his corpse and from samples that were collected by Freeze. Eventually, Harley discovered John and returned to recover the samples and synthesize a usable version of LOTUS. After he told her what he had seen, Harley rejected John and gave him a black eye before running away. With his feelings truly torn apart, John stormed into Harley's office and drank himself into unconsciousness. Eventually, John was discovered by Bruce and Special Agent Iman Avesta, who returned in search of Quinn. After being woken up, a drunken John introduced himself to Avesta and ranted about his perceived one-sided friendship with Bruce. John blamed Bruce for the advice he had given him to win over Harley and showed his frustrations with how the Pact had been dissolved. As Bruce tried to get more answers from him, John pointed a gun at him and Avesta and convinced him to put him down.

After the raid

When John tried to leave, Avesta blocked his entrance while Bruce convinced him to tell them what had happened. Although he was reluctant to help them find Harley, he convinced John to do it, but insisted on doing it alone. Regardless of whether Bruce decided to let John go alone or join him, John left to find Harley alone. If Bruce insisted on joining John, John held him and Avesta at gunpoint before fleeing and made sure they did not follow him. John eventually tracked Harley down to the defunct Bonus Brothers Carnival, where he had stored one of the GCPD's armored vehicles after the attack on the Agency convoy. After reporting to Bruce, John investigated the Funhouse where he and Harley had set up a lair and discovered several agents there. John murdered the agents, although he claimed that he was only in self-defense. Eventually, Bruce discovered John talking to the corpses of the agent, who arrived after being given the lead to follow. After being discovered, John claimed that he was attacked by the Agency and, succumbing to something dark building inside him, had bludgeoned them to death with the nearest object he could grab. However, Bruce found multiple holes in the story, including a gunshot wound to an agent's back. Depending on the dialogue chosen, John and Bruce's "friendship" improved or diminished. During the conversation, John revealed that he knew that Bruce was actually Batman and deduced it some time ago. If Bruce did not acknowledge that to be true, John provides evidence to support his claim, including actions he had taken during his time in the Covenant. After revealing that Harley had fled to the Gotham Bridge, John asked Bruce to help her capture her before she did anything too drastic. John also asked Bruce if he believed her story and promised to help him if he did.

John and Harley
