i didn't realize this until i was rereading zdarsky's run a while ago, but the designs of the jokers here aren't random; the one on the left is the design from the killing joke, the middle is joker war, and the right is from batman beyond: return of the joker -- or, in other words: past, present, future (past/present/future is a significant theme in zdarsky's batman works so far) which also might be why the left joker calls him batman and the middle calls him bruce (it's post-identity reveal).
