First of all . . Stephane Roux contributes an incredible cover here. I love it. I thought the joke was a little lame. But . . that really has nothing to do with Stephane's work. This is the second part of our Joker story by Andrew Kreisberg and Scott McDaniel. Basically, this story kind of retells . . or maybe it's just a different perspective . . of when Joker first came upon the scene in Gotham. Back when everybody thought of him as a clown. A murderous psycho clown . . but still, a clown. We also see that even then . . when he was really just delving into this nutso killer routine . . he still felt that he could do whatever he wanted with little or no impunity. To him it's just all a game. He wants to see what he can do . . right in front of everybody . . and there's nothing they can do because they wouldn't even suspect that someone would be capable of the things the Joker does on a whim. We also see the Batman's frustration, because up until now . . the time when the Joker first came on the scene . . he hadn't really had to deal with this level or 'nut'. But this is when his world started entering a whole new realm. When places like Arkham Asylum became necessary. Anyways, I love a good Joker story. And this issue was really more about him than the Batman. I thought it was a pretty decent book. A bit predictable, but . . not to bad.
