 The
Characters
Most of the freakish super-villains that Bruce Wayne
fought as Batman are long gone, forgotten by the world. It is not
the case with the one who was perhaps Batman's greatest foe, the
Joker. Though the Joker himself no longer threatens Gotham, his
image lives on in the form of a motorcycle gang known as the Jokerz.
The gang dresses in clown themed outfits and makeup, terrorizing
the citizens of Gotham City with their twisted brand of humor.
However, now Batman roams Gotham once more. He already
tangled with the Jokerz, as Terry McGinnis, and won with the aid
of Bruce Wayne. Do they really stand a chance against the new Batman?
He's not laughing, and soon, they might not be either.
Parallels
and Thoughts
The Jokerz gang pays homage to one of Gotham's greatest
villains, the Joker. However, they are
a pale shadow of the dangerous lunatic that gave Batman so much
trouble. Much as Batman took on the mantle of the Bat to scare the
cowardly and superstitious criminals, the Jokerz leech off an image
that has always been a nightmare to Gotham. In reality, they do
not seem to pose much of a threat, as McGinnis and Wayne showed
when the two of them took down the whole gang themselves, out of
costume. However, it is still nice to see the remains of the familiar,
modern day Gotham in the Gotham of tomorrow.
