Summary
Despite being one of DC ’s most dangerours villains , theJokerwas once cured of his insanity entirely and was almost ready to re - come in society as a productive citizen who would never smart a fly . Unfortunately , this redemption arc was prevented , and the Joker was re - debased byCarnage , Marvel ’s most terrifying serial cause of death .
The Joker ’s Carnage - have corruption necessitate home in the definitive squad - up storySpider - valet de chambre and Batman#1 by J.M. DeMatteis , Mark Bagley , Scott Hanna , Mark Farmer , Electric Crayon , and Richard Starkings . In this floor , Cletus Kasady and the Joker are both heal of their murderous insanity by Dr. Briar and her bio - technic chip , which she inserts into their brains . With this chip active , both successive slayer become completely harmless .
finally , Cletus myopic - circuits the chip and rejoinder to his villainous ways thanks to the Carnage symbiote . Instead of leaving the Joker behind , Carnage kidnaps him and take the Joker ’s implant as well , return the Clown Prince to a life of villainy as well .
The chemicals that transformed the Joker are an iconic part of his and Harley Quinn ’s origin and in a young amusing Joker arrogate that it can heal cancer .
Carnage Restores the Joker to Pure Madness
Notably , while Cletus breaks from Dr. Briar ’s conditioning , this is solely due to the Carnage symbiote . Since the Joker does n’t have an alien symbiote attached to his creative thinker or body , Briar ’s conditioning essentially completelycures the Joker of his craziness — for good . While under the effects of the chip , the Joker shows no sign of ill will and is actually outright afraid of Carnage , begging Batman to protect him from Cletus . Without Carnage ’s direct interference , the threat of the Joker would have been over for Gotham ’s citizens . It ’s only because Carnage need a partner in offence that the Joker is still evil to this day .
There ’s no understanding to consider that , without Carnage ’s " help , " the Joker would finally separate out of his conditioning or that , even as a " normal " person , he ’d somehow still be evil . There have been a few examples of the Joker pull in sanity and immediately regret the thing he ’s done , including when Martian Manhunter reorder the Joker ’s psyche to the item where he gained sanity . When this was done , the Joker straightaway begged for forgiveness for the crimes he committed . This proves that a sane version of the Joker would feasibly be at least somewhat of a " salutary " individual . unluckily for Gotham City , the Joker ’s cure in this Marvel crossover does n’t last long , as Carnage like a shot contribute the Clown Prince of Crime back .
The Joker and Carnage Make for a Brutal Team-Up
The Joker is a horrific consecutive killer , but he ’s not some supernatural being or alien ogre . At the final stage of the mean solar day , he is just a human , and he can be cure — at least theoretically . This has been proven several meter , and Marvel ’s Dr. Briar has a chip that makes it so the Joker could be for good cured . The only reason the Joker is still the mass - murdering monster that he is in the DC Universe is n’t because no one hear to cure him or that Batman has n’t killed him yet — it ’s because theJokerwas grease one’s palms by Marvel ’s very ownCarnage .
