From getting coffee to killing hostages, it’s a chaotic night out for the infamous duo. What’s notable about this scene though is Joker’s newest set of wheels. His car has a classic design with a purple coat of paint, which is par for the course for things he owns.However, the best feature is that his steering wheel is gone, replaced with a giant piano that he plays to control the vehicle.

He Puts His Life in the Hands of Playing the Right Notes
The Joker is known for his signature brand of insanity, which makes him the perfect counter to Batman. No matter what he does, it needs to have a chaotic twist of some kind to fit his idea of a punchline to a very violent joke. With this in mind, the design of his car inIsekaiperfectly encapsulates his character in one glorious change.By taking out the steering wheel and replacing it with a piano, Joker is putting his and Harley’s lives in the hands of his musical prowess.One wrong note could send them careening off a cliff, so he needs to be sure he’s never off-key.
“It’s more than just a unique design choice; it’s a great symbol for the Joker as well.”
However, even with this dangerous new addition, it also showcases Joker’s views on the world. To him, chaos is a thing of beauty that needs to be let out in a world of law and order,even when he’s dead. Otherwise, life, to him, would be incredibly dull. By unleashing this through a concert that controls his car, it’s a perfect blend of beautiful chaos that drives his character. It’s more than just a unique design choice; it’s a great symbol for the Joker as well.
The Joker’s New Car Outdoes His Wildest Vehicle from the Comics
The Original Jokermobile Has Nothing on Isekai’s New Vehicle
What’s wild about the Joker’s new car is how it somehow manages to outdo the silliness of the Joker’s original vehicle. First introduced in 1946, the Jokermobile was Joker’s vehicle of choice to speed through Gotham and cause chaos.Inspired by the Batmobile’s darker and more subtle design,the Jokermobile did the complete opposite by literally being a giant version of the villain’s head hollowed out so he can see where he’s driving.It’s absolutely hilarious and has become iconic to his character. However, the inclusion of a piano steering device is just so clever and symbolic to who the Joker is that it outshines the silliness of the giant head his car used to have.
Overall, it would be remarkable to see this design choice make its way to the official DC canon in future comics. It’s a fantastic artistic decision that not only fits to the villain’s aesthetic, but also serves as a great symbol for his character. The piano car is a changethat works as a great upgrade for theJoker, paving the way for a fascinating future of his getaways in upcoming stories.
