Mister Miracle asks Oberon how the Chair works, and Oberon explains that the Omniverse is like a donut. While it appears to be a solid, indistinguishable whole from outside, cracking it at any point reveals a 'layer' of ridges and crevices - all present within the whole, but only distinguishable when exposed. Oberon points out that any being existing on this unique terrain would consider it the whole of the world, but wherever the donut is broken, a new layer complete with its own topography is exposed.
What the Mobius Chair does is allow a human intellect to perceive all these different layers at once, both providing new information and allowing previously impossible connections to be made between different planes of reality. When Batman sat in the chair, the answer to a question that had been plaguing him for years was revealed - just not in the way he expected. Batman is one of the most intelligent people in the DC Universe, but he never contemplated there was more than one Joker, yet the Mobius Chair, which allows the user to see the whole picture, showed him the truth.
Meaning: everyone has one. Every hero and villain too, for that matter, seems to have an alter ego. Suicide Squad 's Harley Quinn, for example, started out as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and speaking of the feisty supervillain, it's only fitting to wonder what, exactly her puddin's actual name is.
Up until now, The Joker's real name has never been revealed on-screen, but does one exist in the comics? The Joker doesn't have a real name — yet. In the comics, Batman is in control of the Mobius Chair which is an all-knowing, super powerful thing and it could give him answers to any question he asks. So, naturally, Batman inquires two things: the name of the person who killed his parents and the Joker's true name.
In the immediate aftermath of the Bat Family's confrontation against the Jokers' final plot to create the ultimate supervillain, Batman reveals something to Alfred Pennyworth that flips his dynamic with his nemesis on its head: Batman knew the Joker's true identity all along. As the Bat Family moves on beyond the various trauma that the Jokers inflicted on them Batman reveals that, as the World's Greatest Detective, he deduced the true identity of the Joker within days after their initial encounter.
Flashbacks indicate that the Comedian Joker, the modern iteration of the supervillain and the last of the three Jokers left alive by the story's conclusion, was truly the failed stand-up comic seen in The Killing Joke.
This revelation confirms Batman's claim as he is seen personally assisting the Joker's ex-wife and child , who secretly had survived the previous story, by relocating them to Alaska. Historically, the true identity of the Joker had always been one of the greatest unsolved mysteries to Batman; indeed, The Killing Joke opened with the Dark Knight visibly troubled he had been unable to deduce his nemesis' identity despite battling him for years.
And yet, Marvel broke one of their cardinal rules a little over a decade ago when writer Ed Brusker resurrected Captain America's long-dead sidekick Bucky Barnes and transformed him into the antihero known as the Winter Solider. That idea sounded terrible.
It sounded sacrilegious. And it ended up leading to a new renaissance of great Steve Rogers stories and the creation of one of the Marvel Universe's great new characters. In other words, I'll continue to gripe about this Joker business until it turns out to be completely great and amazing.
