DC Comics Will Reveal The Joker's Identity
Ye gods, no! That's a terrible idea.

It can only be Bruce Wayne^^

The fact that this is some big surprise for Batman, and that there's even an identity to reveal, in my opinion is a mistake. Part of the fear around the Joker is that he was a nobody beforehand. As a quote of his goes: "All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest of men to lunacy. That's how far removed I am from the rest of the world. Just one bad day." From Nobody To Nightmare, as the trope would be called.

"It's simple. We, uh, kill the BatBrannockman."

So there is in fact hope that within everyone lies the potential to be someone dynamic, driven, and interesting?

Pretty much. Simultaneously inspiring and terrifying, for the Joker shows that you could attain the highest of heights, or fall to the lowest of lows.

What if, under the makeup, there's only a mask?
I feel like this could be an excellent hype-building trolling opportunity.

"I know who you are, Joker! You're the man who killed my parents!"
...
...
"No, Batman...*I* am your parents."
...
...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! Like...really. You can't be both of them, that's just stupid...and Harley Quinn has to be about Robin's age, give or take, and she's got a pretty well-documented history anyway, so never mind that idea...do you mean, like, metaphorically, because your killing my parents did more to define my life than their initially raising me...? No, that doesn't sound like you, you're not big on schmaltzy metaphors...."
...
...
"Search your heart. You know it to be true."
...
...
"What the - what does that even mean?!? I'm the World's Greatest Detective, you a*&@%%!, I don't 'listen to my heart,' I use empiricism, deductive reasoning, and exhaustive research...!'"
...
...
"Join me, and together, we can rule this galaxy as parents and son!"
...
...
"Alright, now you're losing me...and since when have you even *wanted* to 'rule' anything...???"
Clearly, the Joker is just a patsy~! We've all been so blind!

Please, please, please do not let it be a member of the Wayne/Bat family. That would just be too stupid for words.
My money's on him being Steve Miller.

True, but that is just lazy writing simply done for the shock factor of it...which admittedly sums up most Marvel/DC storylines for the past decade or more, but still.

Are you sure? I thought there was one of the universes where Bruce Wayne was inspired by a flock of pompati...

Somehow, my mind's eye sees Snyder as saying "I think this 'Grave of the Fireflies' film is pretty good, but it needs to be darker..."
I see Snyder reading Sophocles and thinking "ugh, why do all these plays need to be so HyperGrimDark all the time? Why couldn't the Greeks just write light, happy fluffy stories like ME?"
Anyhow, less than a week to go until the big reveal! I'm a little excited, but mainly terrified by how many buildings will be destroyed by nerds on rampages:)
No matter what though, I will always believe that the Joker is really Freehold DM.

There's a rumor floating around there is MORE than one Joker apparently.

That would involve a subsequent "What-a-twist!" reveal that Martha Wayne & Dr. Thomas Wayne were actually Alton Brown and Joss Whedon.
Besides, if Freehold is anyone in the Batverse, he's the (Michael Ansara-voiced) Victor Fries from Batman: The Animated Series.

I bet it's Robin.

Wait, at which part? 'Cause Michael Ansara and Victor Fries from B:TAS were pretty damn cool awesome.
Edit: Would you prefer Captain Cold instead? I could accept that pending photographic/video evidence of your ability to chew scenery (ex) at will and how well you can smirk while enjoying a stolen mug of cocoa.

What if it's Kim Basinger.
