They include Joker holding the Joker fish, Joker transforming from Red Hood to the Joker and Joker with the Joker bomb.

Issue #1 isn't the only book that will be getting the variant cover treatment. All three issues of the limited series will feature two standard variants, three premium variants and two ratio variants for fans to collect.
Originally, the miniseries was scheduled for a June 17 debut, but due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) shutting down the comic book industry temporarily, DC had to push the date back. Throughout the course of the wait, Fabok has kept fans updated with inside info in regards to his art process and the comic's inspirations, which include classic Batman stories like The Killing Joke and Detective Comics #475.
In Three Jokers, Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood must uncover the mystery of the multiple Jokers in a story that explores important events in Batman’s history with Easter eggs along the way.
