10 Superman Fates Worse Than Death
3. Living In A Universe Run By The Joker
After the Joker stole the reality-warping powers of Mr Mxyzptlk, the Clown Prince of Crime reshaped the universe to his liking. Crowning himself as Emperor Joker, Batman's nemesis performed all sorts of deranged acts with his godlike power including carving his sneering mug into the planet, turning Harley Quinn into a constellation, making Lex Luthor his personal jester, and eating the entire population of China. He also made everyone forget about their past lives, meaning they believed the Joker had always been the top dog.
But there was one person who still remembered the original world: Superman.
As terrifying as it is to live in a society where an omnipotent psychotic clown runs the show, it was extra frustrating for Superman since he knew the way things used to be. Supes tried his best to tell everyone they were living in a false reality but nobody believed him, not even Lois Lane.
Superman eventually returned reality to normal which is lucky since it's a safe assumption no one in their right mind would ever live in a world where the Joker was calling the shots.
