The speaker, Matt Prince, introduces a series called "Film Theory" and expresses excitement about the upcoming "Suicide Squad" movie. He mentions the mystery surrounding the Joker, one of his favorite comic book villains, and how the character's identity has been a long-standing question in the Batman universe.
In the comics, the Joker's identity is revealed to be one of three different characters: a criminal mastermind, a goofy prankster, and a psychopath. This revelation is attributed to the Mobius chair, an intergalactic chair that possesses all the knowledge in the universe. Batman asks the chair who the Joker is, and the chair reveals that there are three different Jokers.
The speaker then discusses the potential implications of this revelation for the movie universe. He speculates that if there are three Jokers in the comics, there could also be three different Jokers in the movie universe. He mentions the recent announcement that Geoff Johns, a legendary comic writer, would be co-running DC films, and suggests that he would be the one to adhere to this monumental revelal from the comics.
The speaker also discusses the history of the Joker in the comics, dividing it into four distinct periods: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, and the modern age. He explains how the Joker's portrayal has evolved over these periods, from a deranged serial killer in the Golden Age to a psychopath in the modern age.
Finally, he speculates about the identity of Jared Leto's Joker in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" movie. He suggests that Leto's Joker could be a continuation of one of the three Jokers from the comics, but he doesn't provide any concrete proof or evidence to support this theory.
