Batman: The Enemy Within Will Let You Shape Joker's Origin and Purpose
Telltale's Batman is about to let players shape the origin story of Batman's most infamous [...]
Joker's Impending Origin
"Beyond Riddler," Windeler says, "there's another major impending threat in play this season, something that we seeded in Batman: The Telltale Series with a character by the name of 'John Doe.' Internally, we refer to John as our 'Proto-Joker' — a man on the brink of madness who helped Bruce escape Arkham Asylum, only to come back this season with reason to believe that his 'friend' Bruce not only likes him but also owes him a favor."
"We want fans to know that their relationship with John Doe (and eventually, the Joker) is something they'll be affecting with the decisions they make throughout the season. As Batman and Bruce attempt to stop the immediate threat to Gotham, John will be watching your every move and learning from your choices. By the end of the story, you will have created your own version of Batman's classic nemesis through your interactions."
Now that's a fascinating prospect. Just how far can we go, and how big of an impact can we have on Joker? Does he have to become an enemy at all? Could he potentially even become an ally, and if so, does that mean that Batman has to become a villain?
Chime in below and let us know whether you would ever side with Joker. Could this be the biggest shakeup in Batman's narrative history?
