This is another chapter in the origin of the Joker. He's got a taste for danger and murder. So now he's committing random acts of violence all over town. Well . . not completely random. The things that he's obtained or stolen are going to fetch him a small fortune. A man's gotta' have backing capital. Right? And of course with every crime, he gets more criminal, and more dangerous. Batman is really having a hard time keeping up with him. In that effort, Alfred is putting together the new Bat-Computer. But he doesn't want to call it that, he's chosen, Dupin. Bruce's hero. In the process of all this chaos, Bruce has decided to let his guard down for a night and enjoy an evening of pleasure with Ms. Lorna Shore. The problem is, she's having a charity benefit at the Gotham Museum of Art the following nite. Bruce was supposed to go. Obviously he can't. But he may be making an appearance anyways, because Dupin has guessed, with a 95% probability, that the Museum will be his antagonists next target. This is a great story by Michael Green, with art by Denys Cowan. And this is what this book is all about. Origin stories. And stories from the days when Bruce first started donning the cowl. We know how this one is going to turn out. But . . . the fun is in the ride.
