SDCC2014: Will the Joker be returning to the New 52 soon?

July 26th, 2014 by Marc Comments

It’s been too long since we’ve seen Mr. J. make an appearance in the New 52. Last time we saw our favorite villain he was making a dash as his plan to destroy the Bat Family had fallen through, though it had served his purpose.

Well, at today’s Batman Eternal panel at SDCC 2014 Scott Snyder not only revealed the name for the next Batman story arc, Endgame, he also confirmed that the Joker will make a return in the story arc. Snyder says that Endgame is a sort of thank you to all the fans and readers out there who have truly embraced Snyder and Capullo as one of the best Bat creative teams to date.

In describing Endgame Snyder said that it’s his favorite story arc to date, and after reading the awesome that was the Owls, that’s really saying a lot. Endgame will focus on the Joker looking to take revenge on Batman and his Family, though Snyder pointed out that it doesn’t necessarily mean piling up Bat bodies as there are other ways to hurt the Bat other than killing his friends and family.

 

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
