The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant English-language coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. I did review the sources explicitly mentioned in the 'no consensus' AfD from 5 years back. They are sadly limited to (mostly) press-release-rehashing mentions that the gang will be included in one video game ( one sentence in passing, two sentence in passing, one sentence in passing, same, again). This is not about the video game, but again it's just a one sentence google hit. Do post if you see anything better, but right now I don't think there is anyting better to to then to redirect this to a list of characters in the BB. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of Batman Beyond characters, which contains info on them already. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect Keep I am finding that Jokerz is notable. The Jokerz have also worked their way into the ending of the Hollywood film Joker. I have added two sources: one of which says: The Jokerz were criminals and the most well known gang in Gotham. Lightburst (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, but if this quote is the best we have, it is very much a passing mention and plot summary... hardly enough to rescue this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:26, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

• Redirect to BB character article. There is already enough information on that article; I don't think a separate article is warranted. Rhino131 (talk) 16:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Batman Beyond characters per nom and Argento Surfer. This article is comprised almost entirely of plot information, and all of the available sources appear to be extremely brief, plot summaries, or both. Even the quote Lightburst mentioned above is describing them entirely in an in-universe perspective. I am also not finding any evidence that the group from Joker (2019 film) was based on, or was in any way related to, this group. The main list of Batman Beyond characters already describes the characters in extensive detail, so merely Redirecting there would be sufficient. Rorshacma (talk) 16:38, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Batman Beyond characters per others. Fails notability criteria for a standalone article._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 16:48, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of Batman Beyond characters as said by the others above. Not nearly enough in-depth coverage to show notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 01:21, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
