Their Dick Grayson, who is also shown in this episode, is also an exciting add to the mix as fans know him to become Batman's sidekick, Robin in the comic series. The episode showcased these characters by having them fight in an acrobats vs. clowns brawl.

Matt Fowler from IGN said of the character Jerome, "Okay, well. If Jerome was The Joker then it's not much of an origin story, right? Because he pretty much ialready The Joker, just without the makeup and purple suit."

The creator of the show, Bruno Heller, told sources that the episode begins the Joker's origin story. According to The Hollywood Reporter Heller said, "He may or may not be The Joker, All I can promise is that's not a bait and switch. It's a long game we're playing here."

A lot of speculation is still is play and viewers are excited to see when the Joker and hopefully more of The Flying Graysons story will be shown to light in the coming episodes.
