The DC Comics are on fire once again as a new Joker-like villain might be in town. This character, however, is not a villain or even an anti-hero but is lovably known as hope in the city of Metropolis. Yes, we are talking about Superman, and this time, he has gone nutsy-cuckoo!
No, he has not gone into the Arkham Asylum but is left with an evil side in his brain that may never go back. In the recent edition of Action Comics, it seems that Superman might portray a more irrational and erratic behavior since his counterpart Bizarro’s magic spell is heavy on his mind!
Superman Might Not Be Rationale Anymore!
In the recent comics, Bizarro turned the world upside down with his powers. But before we get into the theory, a little backstory is required. Bizarro is essentially the anti-Superman since he has all the powers of Superman but the crazy psychotic side of The Joker.
In the recent issue, Superman faces off against what is left of Bizarro’s powers in his mind. Although he defeats Bizarro, there is still a little fragment of the villain remaining in Superman’s mind. And what this little speck of Bizarro can do is something pure evil. During the battle, Bizarro’s magic allows him to defeat Superman countless times in Clark Kent’s mind leading Kent to lose control of his brain and thoughts.
So now, Superman is left with a weakness that is so much more destructive than Krypotine. A small part of Bizarro’s mind lives inside Clark Kent/Superman’s mind. Since DC Comics would have done so with a purpose, that day isn’t far when Superman’s mind gets overwhelmed by Bizarro and the symbol of hope turns evil. There could also be a possibility that a villain discovers this weakness and turns Bizarro loose in Clark Kent’s mind leading to the destruction of Metropolis, Gotham, and potentially… Earth.
Does Joker Believe In Superman?
As bizarre as this sounds, it seems that The Joker has a lot of respect for Superman! Although it has always been Bruce Wayne or Batman who has been the nemesis of The Joker, recent comics showed Superman meeting the laughing criminal.
With Bizarro wreaking havoc in Metropolis, Superman had no choice but to go to The Joker and ask for his help. Due to Bizarro’s magic, Joker turned sane, and instead of being a criminal, he decided to help Superman when he was in need! The conversation that they had between them, however, is quite remarkable! As per the comics, here’s what the sane Joker had to say to Superman:
“But I want you to know, for whatever it’s worth… that I believe in you. With all my heart.”
Well, it does seem a bit weird but after all, The Joker is a character who is more honest than most. The above-mentioned theory is part of Action Comics #1063 and is surely drawing attention from the world due to its unique storyline.
