In Flashpoint #5 (via ComicBook), Mistah J’s name is revealed to be Jack Oswald White. The iconic Batman villain has taken on several names and identities over the course of his storied run in both the comics and live-action, with Jack Napier being the most common moniker. Of course, the name Jack Napier originated from Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film and while it was a name intended for the Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson classic, the comics would later go with it. In 2019’s Joker, WB decided to give the character a new identity in Arthur Fleck and a more tragic backstory.Also Read: Warner Bros.
