Titans Season 3 Updates: The Joker made a cameo appearance in Season 3 of Titans, but only from afar or abstractly – here’s why he wasn’t allowed to appear in person.
In the run-up to the HBO Max premiere of Titans season 3, storey details that may have been massive shocks or comics-inspired surprises were made public. For starters, Jay Lycurgo will make his live-action debut as Tim Drake (a.k.a. the third incarnation of Robin), while Vincent Kartheiser will play Jonathan Crane (a.k.a. Scarecrow).

Fans have been wondering since the news came how accurate Jason Todd’s horrible destiny will be to the original material. With the official release of Titans season 3, episode 1, “Barbara Gordon,” the answer was proven to be extremely. In the first few minutes of the film, Jason discovered The Joker’s whereabouts and, against Bruce Wayne’s (Iain Glen) instructions to stand down, embarked on a solo mission to apprehend him.
Fans hoping for a fresh iconic (or controversial) take on the Clown Prince of Crime were going to be disappointed. Instead of a full performance, the audience was given to a flurry of Joker allusions. Thanks to a monstrous puppet created to distract Jason, the opening episode of Titans season 3 came the closest to giving viewers a complete picture of Joker’s terrifying visage.

The main reason for the pattern was DC Entertainment’s ongoing concern about oversaturation, which matched the dread tone of Titans season 3. The Flash has shown in recent years that not only can TV and cinema versions of a superhero coexist in a satisfactory way, but they can also coexist in a unique way.
Regardless, while there has been some wiggle room in some circumstances, DC has largely resisted bringing Batman and the Joker to television. As a result, it’s been assumed that the film adaptations would be more distinct, and that the separate series excursions will continue to be a box office draw.
That’s why Batman was never included among the DC heroes in series like Smallville. That’s also why the Gotham writers had to avoid referring to Jerome or Jeremiah Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) as The Joker outright.
Season 3 of Titans will focus primarily on the titular heroes, with a look at the numerous scars that Batman and the Joker have left behind.
