With Harley fighting for Batman and the good guys, this new manifestation of the Clown Prince of Crime is a hallucination that Harley has when she’s gassed with the Scarecrow’s fear toxin. But a new sequence from Injustice 2 confirms that the Joker is still dead.

The Joker’s presence in the new game has been known for some time as a presence that “haunts” the heroes and villains alike. The Joker is the main antagonist of the Injustice series, serving as the opening antagonist of Injustice Year Zero, one of the two main antagonists (alongside Superman) of the Injustice: Gods Among Us (2013) video game and comic series, the overarching antagonist of the Injustice 2 comic series and a major antagonist in Injustice 2 (2017) video game. A sequence in the story mode for the new game explains exactly how that happens, and it has everything to do with Scarecrow’s fear toxin.Īfter the Joker tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane and triggering a nuclear explosion that levels Metropolis in the first Injustice, the Man of Steel literally ripped the Joker’s heart out and promptly began his totalitarian regime. He serves as the opening antagonist of Injustice: Year Zero, the posthumous overarching antagonist of the Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, comic series, the Injustice 2 comic series and the 2021 animated film adaptation, as well as a posthumous antagonist in the Injustice 2 video game.

Somehow, the Joker is back to put a smile on people’s faces in Injustice 2, despite being killed by Superman during the events of the first game, Injustice: Gods Among Us. The Joker is the posthumous overarching antagonist of the Injustice franchise.
