Jack was a mental patient living in Arkham Asylum who held some relationship to eccentric millionaire Bruce Foster Wayne.
History
Reporter Clark Kent came to visit Jack in an attempt to interview him about Wayne's last word before his death, but Jack said nothing and simply grinned. Kent was informed that he was wasting his time.[1]

Notes
- DC Comics has published two different and unrelated Elseworlds stories titled Citizen Wayne. The first was written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn with art by Joe Staton, published in 1994's Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Annual #4. The second is a collaboration between Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos, published in 2000's Batman Chronicles #21. They are both clear references to the classic 1941 film Citizen Kane. Additionally, Part Two of "Blind Justice" by Sam Hamm, appearing in Detective Comics #599 has the same title.
- Jack is clearly intended to be a version of the Joker, although no information is given about him other than that he is a mental patient with some relationship to Bruce Wayne.
- Likewise, his name could be a reference to the Burtonverse Joker, who's true identity is Jack Napier.
