Set Description:
Nyuck-Nyuck!
Lighting the steps of the asylum comes the tortured joke of letting the slack out to tighten up the punch line. It takes Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and a slew of evidence to bring back the crowned prince of crime to his wits end. Laughing to the end, is it really something that will make a hook for the readers? Mature reading ahead, that is for sure.
Popcorn at the ready, it will still your soul to grasp what is beyond our control!
The stage is set and when the curtains fall those crippling with laughter will backdrop the rainy day! Will the sun ever shine again?!
Although the Jokers brain is more like a hamster wheel that resembles the dilapidated theme park featured in this issue, I feel that to him it sounds a bit more like, "You've got the brains, I've got the looks, LET'S MAKE LOTS OF....!!" It isn't that his brain doesn't have the capacity for some beneficial decisions, it is that the rails aren't parallel to the moving miner cart, and it leads into a deep dark shaft where the Joker's Cackle of a Laughter is the only thing that rings out the loudest. It reminds me of a television commercial where someone is outlandish, and they are asked to just, "Eat a Snickers!" Poof!?! It will take the Joker feeding on the prey, or as most often, the Batmans fists to clap and provide retribution silencing the Joker's maniacal horror show!

Joker cripples Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). Embossed cover. Picked up at a friend's request from Half Price Books raw for $30, and a "happy edition addition!" It opened up a price point to receive the establishment's coupon calendar to use throughout the year too. At about 10% off coupons for the rest of the year, and a basically save the tax excursion, I'm glad to bring to the collection that original gangster an original, ya! ~ The Offspring. Well, these songs of happiness will last well into the next day remembering the hunt and the other comics picked up, with more to come. A maniacal Joker faces the photo finish that was a pioneer for storytelling of its day and time, by being over the top and as exaggerated displays that continue to put "The Joker" ahead of the pack. When it comes to ego and laughing off the experience there is none other thought as unthinkable!
Long ago, but not as long ago as you'd like to think. Sometimes the dust settles for separate ways longer than you'd think or want, the Lord is my Shepherd.
Complete with a back cover picture of the movie prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Wicked!" Not so much a retcon or even an origin story, it tells of the good and not so good witch, and before they end up the characters as in the Dorothy version. They take it upon themselves in the first right to paint a picture, whether on a broom or "as a flashlight" like at the end of this issue of Batman! Unsettling the feathers of either: those tethered together by being single minded or those that would unhinge to let loose the imagination! Side by side it shuts the door to what would otherwise be some chaotic rhythm, as a prequel that has been a theatric play for a long time. Classics are still just that and context is important for the new stuff. Be it movies and comics that can make you "think", sure, but it is the impact that closes the door to being reimagined.
Grader Notes:
heavy warping to cover;
scuffing to cover;
spine stress lines to cover.
