In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, it’s the year 2040 and Bruce Wayne has retired from crime-fighting, passing on the mantle of Batman to high schooler Terry McGinnis. This is when Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) resurfaces in Neo-Gotham City, taking over the Jokerz gang and going on a crime spree.
Jared Dunn from Silicon Valley
In Silicon Valley, Donald “Jared” Dunn (Zach Woods) jumped ship from Hooli to join Richard Hendricks at his startup Pied Piper. He’s Richard’s right-hand man, keeping everything in order, although Jared’s outbursts now and then hint at a much more chaotic and darker past. Any fleece vest will do, but go with Patagonia if you want full authenticity.

In Daybreak, Josh Wheeler (Colin Ford) is the leader of the Daybreakers. He forms the group while searching for his girlfriend Sam in the months following the explosion, making the Glendale Mall their home base. Surviving the apocalypse teaches him that he’s not an ordinary kid, but rather the hero he’s always read about in his comic books.
