There are a lot of unanswered questions about Joker floating around with the being arguably being how and why Thomas Wayne is alive. After all, unless Bruce Wayne is going to grow up to become a Batman fighting a version of the Clown Prince of Crime who is decades older than him, there's something afoot here and it's possible that we'll visit a world where Batman's parents never died.
What that means for Bruce is hard to say. On the one hand, he could still be a child whose parents are ultimately killed by The Joker or another criminal. On the other, Thomas and Martha could have either given him up or had him stolen when he was a baby and Arthur Fleck will be revealed as Bruce, a crazy twist which essentially means Batman becomes The Joker (most think Arthur is Thomas' love child).
Regardless, a new set photo has now surfaced which reveals that Thomas Wayne is running for Gotham City mayor. That's an interesting twist and one which could point to us getting a Donald Trump style take on the character (in the respect that he's a billionaire who then runs for political office). What do you guys think? As always, weigh in with your thoughts and theories in the comments section below.
