The text is a script from a video titled "Film Theory" by MatPat. The video discusses the concept of multiple versions of The Joker character from the DC universe, as suggested by a recent comic series. The script begins with MatPat expressing his excitement about the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, particularly the introduction of The Joker.
MatPat then delves into the history of The Joker character in the comics, explaining how the character has evolved over time. He mentions the three distinct ages of comics - The Golden Age, The Silver Age, The Bronze Age, and The Modern Age - and how the portrayal of The Joker has changed across these periods.
The Golden Age Joker is depicted as a deranged serial killer with a sadistic sense of humor, while the Silver Age Joker is portrayed as a prankster. The Bronze Age Joker is a murderer again, and the Modern Age Joker is a mentally ill psychopath. MatPat then discusses the three live-action interpretations of The Joker in movies - the 1966 version by Cesar Romero, the 1989 version by Jack Nicholson, and the 2008 version by Heath Ledger.
MatPat then brings up the recent comic series where it is revealed that there are three different Jokers. He speculates that this could also apply to the DC film universe, and discusses the possibility of Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad being one of these three. He ends the video with a cliffhanger, asking who Jared Leto's Joker is.
