About

The Jonkler is an intentional misspelling of The Joker, usually referring to him as he appears in the Batman: Arkham series of video games, in the /r/BatmanArkham subreddit. Posts about the "Jonkler" will usually be written in broken or grammatically incorrect English, picking up from the Is He Stupid? that grew popular in the sub. The meme eventually gave rise to the Evil Jonkler Cart meme in 2024.

Precursor

"Is He Stupid?" is a catchphrase and phrasal template that started on the /r/okbuddychicanery subreddit in which users ironically ask about certain plot details of the Breaking Bad universe lore. The meme grew widely popular on /r/BatmanArkham, and was adopted for many jokes in the sub.

On February 5th, 2023, Redditor u/Encajado shared a picture of a Batman: Arkham Knight scene in which Batman is looking over the city after the villain Scarecrow activated a device that shrouded the entire city in a deadly fear gas. User u/Encajado added the image in the lore recap section of the /r/BatmanArkham subreddit with the caption "Why doesn't Batman just call the Justice League for help? Is he stupid?" The post received 5,500 upvotes and 550 comments in one month (seen below).
