Did the Joker know About the Owls?

[MarkRodriguez12]

I keep remembering how Joker told Batman he was 'too busy looking at him to look at the bigger picture' in Detective # 1. And with the Owls going after influential figure in Gotham... including the Penguin.... I guess cause he's a major crime boss or whatever...? did the Joker have his face cut off and go into hiding cause he knew he'd be a potential target?

[JaHawk2009]

Interesting idea, but unfortunately I doubt T Daniels had that sort of foresight or planning and instead just wanted Joker without a face 'just because'

[StopRightThere]

I dunno. It could be. There's that thing where the writers are trying to maintain cohesion and continuity across all books, so maybe. If Daniel knew what Snyder had in mind, then yeah, the face-removal could have been inspired by that.

[Jake V]

If he did, I can't imagine he'd care about them.

[cosmicjoke]

Yeah, I doubt the Joker would care enough about the Owls to even notice them, similarly to how they didn't care enough about Batman to notice him.

Certainly, the Joker wouldn't be scared of them at all, and wouldn't go in to hiding from them.

Nah, just something Tony Daniel was thinking up for his own comic. Hell, Tony wasn't even going to be apart of the crossover till he noticed most of the writers were apart of it. If you ask me, I think the guy just wants his book to the big Bat one ha ha. He's probably hating all the love Snyder is getting!
