Why So Serious?

by Joker the Hedgehog

Part of the Terra-Equus 47 Universe.

Brendan Kane used to be New York chemist by day, and a dreaming club-goer by night. However, this dichotomy comes crashing down when Brendan dies saving his co-workers, only to be mysteriously reborn as The Joker, armed with all of the befitting toys and a desire to eradicate Equestria's criminal underworld with a nice, big, smile. Unfortunately for Mr. J, his methods of dispensing justice, which usually results in the death of the criminal or criminals who cross his path, gets him on the wrong side of Princess Celestia, her sister Luna, and their champions, the Elements of Harmony.

While Joker is placed on the Most Wanted list by those he sees as mere lackeys or do-nothing rulers, superpowered criminals and assassins begin to turn up all over Equestria. The Joker and The Elements are forced to set aside their differences and work together to put an end to these threats, and birth new new alliances in the process.

Perhaps, even more than a simple alliance, in the case of a certain pink party pony.
