| ~ Judah transforming into the newborn Joker |
Judah Voleski, also known as Mr. J or The Jokester, is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Harvey Dent) of the DC based thriller TV series Wayne. He first appears as one of the secondary antagonists of the first season, and one of the two main antagonists (alongside Oswald Cobblepot) of the second season. He is the series' true incarnation of The Joker. Judah was at his first few moments a seemingly nice, wise, intelligent, caring and mentally stable teacher who befriended Bruce Wayne aka The Batman. That was all a twisted facade in order to gain Bruce's trust and acess to The Wayne Enterprises so he could either "fix" Jim Gordon or kill him for being the most corrupt cop in the city.
He is portrayed by Logan Shroyer in his first major villainous role.
History[]
Season 1[]
He at first appears to be a science teacher at the South Gotham High School, as well as an independent scientist aside from his school duties. He was aware to the fact that the infected city mayor Aubrey James has lost his control as the laughing gas caused him to ravege the school and chase it's students. That was all part of Jasper's plans to sabotage him while Bruce aka The Batman fights against Aubrey and sends him to rehabilitation. Judah at first presents himself to Bruce. He is seemingly a kind, supportive, caring, wise and resoursful science teacher who is there for the good of the students and the school itself. Bruce Wayne recieves the information about the attacks and Aubrey's whereabouts at the school. As Bruce goes to the school's lobby and manages to defeat Aubrey and send him to be cured him at Arkham, Jasper and Harlene manage to kidnapp Judah and take him as their hostage to another room at The Arkham Asylum, with intentions to drive him insane. Jasper then phones Bruce and invites him to come and save Judah, as he expected Judah to be driven insane before Bruce arrives and rescues him. However, as Jasper revealed that he filled his RPG gun with laughing gas instead of ammo, he ordered Harlene to shoot the gas at Judah. Harlene however shot Jasper instead, thus revealing that she refilled the gun with ammo as Jasper did not notice. She calls him the pokester in order to tease him, and Jasper in his last breathe replies that he's not The Joker. As part of his pretentious plans, Judah offers Harlene help and asks her to recover for him so she can live a normal life. Bruce then arrives in order to rescue Judah, and asks Harlene if she is planning something, as Judah answers that she is really a good person in order to protect his girlfriend since the day they have first met at high school. Judah then asks Harley to give him some time to talk alone with Bruce. He then reveals to Bruce that he has been working on a project in order to research crime and stop corrupt liars and criminals from taking over the world. Bruce gives him access to Wayne Enterprises so he could work on his project at the Ace chemical plant. Judah sarcastically thanks Bruce, before revealing his motives and true colors. After Bruce goes home, he maniaclly laughs infront of Harley and reveals that he has not given up on his scheme yet. It's revealed that his nice and intelligent personality is only a facade in order to get permission to use The Wayne Enterprises as a weapon against "corruption". Therefore, he planned to kill Jasper in order to become the new, "better" Joker. He also reveals that he is planning to kidnap the most corrupt criminal of them all, Deputy Jim Gordon. He then invades the GCPD's station and enters the office where Jim awaits, after killing off some cops. He then points a gun at Gordon, and asks him where his morals are. Jim however replies that Judah is the one without any morals, as he is pointing a gun and acting like a rather pathetic clown. Judah then inherits the name of The Joker infront of Gordon, with intent to save the city from the GCPD and it's corruption. He knocks Gordon out and takes him captive to the Ace chemical plant. He ties Jim Gordon onto a rope and places him right above an acid tank. The Batman recieves a phone call from The Joker, and is asked to come and pick a side either with the jokeman of Gotham's criminal underworld or with the "corrupt officers who pretend to save the city". Batman arrives in his superhero uniform and attempts to talk some sense into Judah in order to prevent Gordon's death and mantain Judah as a friend. Judah however refuses to go to rehabilitation at Arkham, because he now believes that Wayne is betraying him and saving the corrupt people of Gotham from their "legal punishment". Judah then cuts the rope with his pocket knife and causes Jim to fall to his tragic death. Judah then unleashes his Joker persona and becomes fully insane as he laughs at Gordon's death. This causes the insanity to simply just eat him up. While Judah maniaclly laughs with a loud and happy tone and attitude, Batman gets angry and out of rage, he pushes the newborn clown prince of crime off the edge of the surface, thus causing him to fall straight into the acid which has killed Deputy Gordon. However, since Judah could resist any pain or injury, the acid ate up his flesh and brain, as the creepy version of The Joker would eventually crawl out of the acid bath. Judah later reunites with Harley Quinn and the two sociopaths confront a duo of criminal thieves. Judah orders Harley to shoot one of them, as the other (who happens to be a gang leader called Tom McCoy) is forced into agreeing to help Judah and Harlene with their plans to end Gotham's corrupt reign of terror and ultimately turn Batman to their side.
He then plots with Oswald Cobblepot to bring The Batman down and turn him into a mad supervillain. Harley eventually brings Bruce to Judah (after Zsasz shot him under The Penguin's orders) and Judah explained to Bruce that he planted bombs around the city. Selina however enters the scene and kills Harley Quinn. Later, Harvey Dent threatens Bruce with a "trial", in which he flips a coin and interrogates Bruce. However, Judah throws on him a bomb and disappears, as he has now created the injured supervillain Two-Face.
Judah later hid away from Batman and the other law enforcers in a toxic waste land. There, he reunites with Harley Quinn somehow and the two eventually offer a rich man called Harry Ross a household, without him knowing that the area is a toxic waste. As Ross comes to view his house, a fully mutated, "jokerized" Judah reveals himself and tells him that it was all a trick, and that he is planning to destroy Gotham and finish his project which includes many bombs which could destroy the entire city. Harley then comes from behind and shoots Harry Ross. Judah then reminds Harlene that their next step is to create more bombs via using the Wayne Enterprises. He is last seen with Harley near the Wayne Tower, as they are about to attack the colony and take over the company so they could create enough bombs to destroy Gotham and other towns as well.
Season 2[]
The Joker later reappears as he invades the Arkham Asylum at night after the invasion of Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle and The Riddler with the help and assistance of the Arkham staff member Doctor Pamela "Pam" Ashley.
The Joker eventually caught up with the latter, and he revealed that he has come for the one last ingredient of his massive gas bombs which he has already planted some around the city in various locations.
The Riddler and Selina however decide to ignore him as much as possible since the larger threat is the Arkham staff led by Sterling. However, Judah Voleski eventually finds Bruce while he was being investigated by Talia al Ghul and Amadeus Sterling just before Dorian Diego tortured him. In order to save the fight against The Batman for himself, he threw a gas grenade on Dorian, as Talia used that opportunity to transform him into Bane after reviving him with some mechanical operations.
After Edward and Selina confront The Joker, Judah reveals that he has already bombed up the Cloud family manor and that he now has the last ingredient for his bombs. He goes to Harlene Quinzell and the two of them create more bombs via Wayne Enterprises.
A short time after manufacturing the bombs, the madman plants these bombs all around the city. As the bombs explode and Sterling uses this to gain power for himself, Judah reveals that the bombs are just the beginning of his masterplan.
Later, he returns as The Jokeface Killah, and starts wearing a mask (which he often wore before hand as Mr. J) which he carved it off from Jasper's face, and disguising himself as the actual Jasper, he started massively torturing many Gotham citizens. He took for instance two hostages, started shocking them with electricity, and then he let one fall on the other one's head. He vowed at this stage to make the city a mad-house.
Later, he kidnaps Bruce Wayne's new lover, Silver St. Cloud, from their house. He takes her to an abandoned restaurant with intent of torturing her personally. Claiming again that he is Jasper, he tells her he wants to make out of her corpse a meat pie, implying that he will cannibalize her or kill her and then eat or serve her remains. She angers him by telling him she doesn't give a f** about The Joker. He prepares to torture her, but Batman intervenes and lunges onto The Joker before Silver escapes back home. After that, The Joker reveals Batman that he wore a mask made of Jasper's corpse and stole his identity just so he can use Jasper's bank account for money and entirely bribe The Wayne Enterprises and commit a hostile takeover for his own gain. He then unmasks himself, revealing that "Jasper" was actually Judah all along. Judah claims that The GCPD killed Harley earlier, weakening him, but he now plans to take over Gotham and be like "a god" to them, which implies that he plans to rule the city with an iron fist and transform Gotham into a zone for madness and chaos.
The Joker then sends his henchmen Scarface to do his dirty work while he himself shall activate the bomb attacks he organized and launch the attacks onto Gotham City so he can reshape it. After Scarface manages to possess the former female detective of the GCPD called Peyton Ashley, who was also Jasper's new girlfriend and ally, she betrays the protagonists and holds Jasper on a gun point, thus betraying her former lover and taking him by force to The Joker. Under Judah's orders, Peyton shoots him, as the three partners and villains now prepare to get ready for the other heroes to come and try to kill them all.
