Jack White has responded.The supervillain’s real name was featured in the Flashpoint Beyond comic series, a sequel to Flashpoint, which sees the Batman storyline taking place in an alternate reality. In it, Martha, who is that universe’s Joker, asks a character called Psycho-Pirate to reveal everything he knows about the DC universe, including the original Joker’s true name.White has called the Joker’s real name reveal as more than a “coincidence” since he had drawn inspiration from the character.“An interesting note; during the process of putting together the artwork for my album ‘Fear of the Dawn’ last year, I asked artist Rob Jones to communicate with the amazing DC comic artist Mikel Janin to see if he would be interested in a commission: illustrating me in the range of the style that he draws his version of The Joker for DC comics,” white said via Instagram.White added: “Bizarre patterns and coincidences emerge in the universe that we only see glimpses of at times, some meaningful, some meaningless.
A large thank you to Mr. Janin for contributing this wonderful work to the record.”A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)In another Instagram post, White wrote: “I’d love to thank DC comics for giving The Joker the name of ‘Jack White’ after me.
Though his hair is usually not as blue as mine, I still take it as a flattering gesture on their part and consider it an honour. It was a lonely journey through my life being the only person with that name until now.”In a four-star review of ‘Entering Heaven Alive’ which was released in July of this year, NME wrote, “There’s a temptation with White to believe that he can only be one thing at once: stray too far into the unknown and his work risks being called divisive
