Here's My Idea For A Wild West Gotham Joker.
(apologies For reference to the 89 flick)
Jack Napier,a two bit gambler attempted a foil over the heads of Two of Gotham Town's Heaviest Hitters.
During A game of Texas Hold Em,He was caught Switching The Joker Cards For Kings and Aces,and was heavily beaten by his opponents.They dragged him up to the top of the newly built Clock Tower,and held him over the side with a knife to his face.The First thug says,"So You Like Those Joker's So Much? You Like dem smiles,huh?ahhhhhh...I don't see you smiling now uh?...well...Let's change that!"..and he begins cutting Napier's mouth open from the sides,making it appear that he always is smiling.After inflicting the wounds,The Heavy Hitters toss Jack off of the tower into the back alley of a Curiosity Shop,believing him to be dead.
