I'm looking for issues that have plausible evidence that he does (& doesn't care). Esp. looking for one this guy mentioned where some guys bump into the Joker, he asks what they're doing, they tell him they're going to off Bruce Weyn, & he shoots them.

if joker knew bruce was the bat, there would be no batman

He has something to do with those villians who do know, so there is a chance.

he doesn't, strange part is that he knows that Jason Todd was Robin...

"if joker knew bruce was the bat, there would be no batman"

what batmans bruce banner

"he doesn't, strange part is that he knows that Jason Todd was Robin..."

he attacked Barbara because she was the daughter of the commisioner, not because she was Batgirl

well in the animated series two people knew who batman was for real and the joker killed them saying that no one would ruin his fun.
I think Joker couldn't care less about who batman is. I think all he cares is that batsy will always be there to entertain him :P

Joker knows his name

"Joker knows his name"

i can recall where he and joker went at it and batmans mask got beaten off

that probably was an alternate reality

no

he doesn't know, I'm completely sure

Joker even goes on about him being a billionaire so how couldn't he?

"Joker even goes on about him being a billionaire so how couldn't he?"

-.-

"-.-"

who a normal human?

"who a normal human?"

you never read the killing joke eh...

you never read the killing joke eh...

"you never read the killing joke eh..."

Joker was a normal guy, he was involved into a line of unfaithuful events and became the joker not because of the bats but because of his life.

"Joker was a normal guy, he was involved into a line of unfaithuful events and became the joker not because of the bats but because of his life."

and he wanted a better life for his wife and child so ANY sane mane would have done it

"and he wanted a better life for his wife and child so ANY sane mane would have done it"

He stook up for his word and would have gotten killed if he didnt

"He stook up for his word and would have gotten killed if he didnt"

one lonely guy who just got a trauma for life... sure....

"one lonely guy who just got a trauma for life... sure...."

LOL see? wouldnt you be f@Cked up after that experience? xD

"LOL see? wouldnt you be f@Cked up after that experience? xD"

Joker found out Batman was Bruce is the Batman Beyond movie. Wasn't it called Return of the Joker?

after the last issue of batman r.i.p I think it's safe to say that both Joker and Gordon are completely sure that Bruce is Batman

Unless he's drugged and won't remember any of it, cause then he'd easily figure out who Robin and Nightwing are.

I think Gordon's known who Batman is for awhile now, he's just never come out and said it.

Yes, but I still need names of issues where the Joker is implying that he knows whom Batman is.

in the recent Batman 180, the Joker heard 2 people in a row call Batman "Bruce" & didn't seem a tall interested. How hard would it be to pin the name Bruce to a man who can afford all the shit Batman has?

Nope; ditto what others said here, too: if he knew, there'd be no Batman. Or The Joker, for that matter.

"he doesn't, strange part is that he knows that Jason Todd was Robin..."

Nevermind, I did find evidence in earlier comics, but after the last 2 issues of RIP, if he didn't know then, he knows now. Prior to hearing "BRUCE!" shouted by a couple of people, the Joker already said "Why be an orphaned boy when you can be a superhero?"

I prefur the Batman Confidential origin story, with "Jack" being an already borederline psychotic bachelor & no cheesy Red Hood, even if the art reminded me of Aeon Flux & went down in quality each issue. The whole story just made more sence. Plus, I don't like the idea of Joker ever having a family, it overhumanizes him. I didn't like Going Sane much either & like to think of it as Otherworlds. Plus Lovers & Madmen was significantly longer & more detailed. I like him as psychotic & creepy as possible, with a single-minded obsession & no motional attachments. Kiss camp goodbye forever, sayounara.

Did I mention earlier that the Joker didn't respond at ALL when he heard Jet call out his name. He wasn't suprised or dissapointed or enev happy or angry.

"i can recall where he and joker went at it and batmans mask got beaten off"

He knows. Just doesn't care.

From Batman #663:

"Why be disfigured outcast when I can be a notorious Crime God? Why be an orphaned boy when you can be a superhero?"

Joker says this during their fight (though neither Batman nor Harley hear it as his speech is slurred because of the damage to his face). The canonity of this story is uncertain, however, since the Joker's face appears repaired in later issues and he can speak coherently.

"Vlad Tepes Dracula said:

"i can recall where he and joker went at it and batmans mask got beaten off"

Ledends of the Dark Knight 65?"

"Vlad Tepes Dracula said:

"Joker was a normal guy, he was involved into a line of unfaithuful events and became the joker not because of the bats but because of his life."

No. Batman was the one who chased him, whislt he was suing the guise of the Red Hood, and he fell into the chemical pit whilst fleeing. Arguably any sane/ normal person would not have taken part in such a crime: what was the purpose? The people whom he was doing it for had died."

joker doesnt know. He could know if he wanted to. he is very resourceful and as someone else said, he knows other villains who know. But i think he doesnt want to know. he likes where he is now. Crazy. Genius. Misunderstood. feared. respected.
But he doesnt know. he doesnt have a clue. Otherwise, Tim Drake would have been killed years ago. And Dicks career as Nightwing would have been hell with Joker trying to kill him (and you know he would).
however, i think Joker's sone Anarky knows who Robin is. he's suposed to be Uber smart, and it looks like he's going rouge again.

Amazing how quickly the Joker spoted the fake arsonist in Batman Confidential 24. No cowl at all, even refused to watch him change. Didn't want to spoil the illusion that the Bat is the real mccoy.
