It was pretty clear from somewhat early on that the Joker was targeting the Bat-kids this time around. But I can't help but wonder if there's more to it than Mistah J sticking it to the Bat from a different angle -- if, in fact, we're getting a glimpse of the Joker's own pain. Think about it. The Batman has his friends and children. Who does the Joket have?
I honestly think they should try and listen to Bruce al they have done is exactly the opposite of what he told them to do and now look at the situation
Ok the stubborn Bruce arc has outstayed its welcome! It was fine for plot tension but now its officially gotten old. Though I do agree with Batman on Joker's plan. Joker isn't trying to kill Batman, he's trying to break him by killing/hurting those around him. Even if Joker did catch Batman off guard he wouldn't kill him just use him as bait to lure the others than kill them to torment Batman, then and only then would Joker kill him. But back on topic after the last chapter I had hope we'd see progress with Bruce. Sigh. Hopefully next issue Alfred has an intervention with maybe Superman, Wonder Woman & Catwoman and can finally get to the heart of his issues.
Can’t say I’m surprised by it. Joker is one of the few who know how to hit Bruce where it hurts. If he can do something to prevent another Jason situation, he’ll do it
