The current Batman arc is doing a lot to make The Joker seem like a huge threat. The Joker: Year One isn\u2019t just retconning his past, it\u2019s setting up where he\u2019ll go in the future. The issue takes place across two timelines. In one flashback timeline, we learn how Joker underwent mental training similar to Batman\u2019s, which resulted in the alleged \u201cThree Jokers,\u201d in fact, revealed as multiple backup personalities similar to Zur-En-Arrh. But the second timeline, set in the future, has unveiled perhaps the creepiest Joker design ever. Naturally, Reddit had something else in mind. Fans compare DC\u2019s creepiest Joker to a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode Multiple Reddit threads popped up this week talking about The Joker\u2019s appearance in Batman #143. In the story, an older Joker has taken over Gotham City in the future. The Joker is presented as an eerie, mythical figure. He\u2019s got a thin, emaciated build as he rises from the river, resulting in a terrifying Joker results straight out of a horror movie. Naturally, fans only saw a Courage the Cowardly Dog character. \u201cReturn the slaaaaaaaaabbb\u201d one user chimed in on one Reddit thread. \u201cIf you want to stop me, Bats, you need to return the slab.\u201d another said. \u201cI instantly thought of this episode of Courage! \ud83d\ude02\u201d one user said in another thread full of users making similar pleas to \u201creturn the slab\u201d. The Redditors are referencing King Ramses\u2019 Curse, an episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog that originally aired in 2000. The episode sees Eustace in possession of King Ramses\u2019 slab. Ramses appears as a ghastly figure, imploring Eustace to return the slab and terrorizing the family. While Joker isn\u2019t asking to get a slab back, he is proving to be a terror. The story sees him having taken over Gotham City with a virus that spreads through laughter and reveals he\u2019s even managed to infect the Bat-family.
