The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none to happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and others.

I was hoping you'd mention the part of the comic where Joker gives the middle finger "seemingly" to Arkham Asylum but when you look at the previous panel you notice that Batman was low-key lurking on the Asylum's roof, I loved that part

@ryuoh6928 3 года назад

I like the idea that, each day, for not more than an hour, the Joker sets it up so he is alone (or with Harley) to cry and be like "What the fuck am I doing with my life... I hate all of this. I hate myself..." before he goes back outside and resumes his madness.

I remember that there have been a number of cases where very intelligent mental patients memorize the questions on psych tests and slowly modify their answers so it looks like they progressively get better before getting released.

@dragontears 8 лет назад

That serial killer in Ecuador was released after being moved from prison to a mental facility after being transferred from Columbia for murder to his home Ecuador for more murders, so that in the early 2000s a serial killer/rapist with - supposedly multiple hundreds of - at least 80 child murders (bodies found in Columbia, that I can recall) was out. Monster of the Andes, Pedro Lopez. Still alive, last I looked. That would be a faked release, because he convinced his handlers. (There's another one too in the same region, Luis Garavato, The Beast, rumored at around 300 murders, who escaped at one point, I think, but he didn't use the mental health system I don't think.)

To me Azzarello shines when he's writing crime fiction (look no further than 100 Bullets). One of the reasons why I was surprised that he did Superman and not Batman or The Question. Hope you guys get to 100 Bullets at some point! Oh and a Dark Knight commentary would be pretty cool too.

@sthxdnn1 7 лет назад

The reason they play off that Joker isn't insane is because he's not. The Joker is a psychopathy, he hurts and kills people without remorse what he does. Psychopathy means just that. To be insane means you have don't have control over your actions, you aren't aware of what you're doing; that kind of thing. There's a lot of theories that proclaim that Joker is not only not insane, he's "super sane" which is why he was able to enter Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit without going insane; he becomes normal. He comes down from being "super sane" to just sane. Also he, like Deadpool, breaks the fourth wall. He is aware that he is not a comic book character Aside from the crazy theory. Joker belongs in Blackgate Prison...Not Arkham Asylum. He's not insane, he's just evil.

Writing a story that portrays the hero as truly an uncaring authoritarian a**hole--particularly an established hero--should only occur once a decade or so. Interpretations of heroes as done by Garth Ennis (Ghost Rider/Punisher), Brian Azzarello (Batman/Joker), Mark Millar (The Ultimates), and Jeph Loeb (all of Ultimatum) should last about a decade per piece. Maybe I'm just not the target audience.

Also, for you talking about Joker being an elder god. That was my first thought when Batman tried figuring out who Joker was and just said that it was impossible.

@anothercleverusername992 Год назад

With a better writer, I would like more gritty villain based stories. _"Luthor"_ was okay and this was okay, but less than Luthor.... Yet I think the concept of self contained Supervillain character studies could be great if the point was to tell good stories and not to be Edge Lords. Joker is a great character. Scott Snyder could probably crush a story about him. Put Geoff Johns on _"Luthor"_ and _"Sinestro"_ Could've been a great line of Mature reader books... Instead it's a mediocre two books where the Superheroes are even more out of character than the _Hot Topic_ versions of the villains. Berjemo's Batman has a great suit design in both though. So there's that.
