“I’m not like him,” he tells the Jokester.
Oh, but you are, he thinks. In so many ways.

How do you deal with a man who wears the face of your nemesis, but is on your side?

Notes: This story is a crossover between the Earth 3 Universe and the Nolanverse.  What's Earth 3, you ask?  Earth 3 is a world where the Jokester, a heroic, costumed clown

This was a very nice beginning for this AU. I really liked how you've shown that Jokester and Owlman really have the same personality than their Nolan-verse counterparts, just without/or with the taste for bloodshed.

Which makes me wonder, is there going to develop a similar connection between Owlsy and Joker?

Anyway, great story.

The next chapter will include what Owlman and Joker have been up to. :)
Glad you enjoyed!

Wow, great beginning! I can't wait for more. I like how you started by establishing Jokester and Bruce and the way they interact. And all I can think is poor Jokester , he has to go after a version of himself with no morals or conscious. Can't wait to see what you do with this!

Thanks! I seem to spend a lot of time thinking: "Poor Jokester!" He's just...that sort of character, the universe just seems to have it in for him!

Ooh, I love that Jokester icon!!! Those pictures were amazing....

I seem to have a bit of a thing for vulnerable Jokester too... He's just such an interesting character to explore!

Oh my god! This was so perfect. Jokester is so wonderful and cute and adorable and I just want to hug him :( This was a really amazing thing to read. I loved the connection between Jokester and Bruce...But also all the points where you hint that he actually DOES kind of miss his Owlsie despite all the pain and horror he gives him, like this:

"Bruce glares at him. “I work alone,” he grates out, and ooh, that growl, sends shivers right down his spine."

Damn! Poor Jokester indeed...But seriously if you continue this I would so love to see something similar happening between Owlman and Joker! I seriously just can't help but love their crazy, psycho sex too you know XD Both are very interesting together.

Heh. Next chapter has what Owlsie and Joker have been up to. ;D
I think the fascinating thing about Joker/Batman and Jokester/Owlman (and any combination thereof) is the obsessive nature of their bonds - they claim to hate each other but can't let each other go...
And poor Jokester. I think we all want to hug him and make it better!
Thanks for such a wonderful comment - I'm happy you liked it so much!!!!!

Oh it was just lovely! You really write the perfect Jokester and Bruce and I'm sure your Owlsie and Joker are just as good too ;)

[muffinbitch]

Awww, thank you!!! *blushes*
I must get on with the next chapter now, everyone seems so keen! :D
