So… Batman has a week of prep time against The Grim Reaper. …It’ll be a massacre…

[@CorbCorbin]

He had a plot device, the entire time, with the stupid bat summoning sonar, even if no bats are in that part of the territory he’s in.

[@janontaylor3380]

He'll be like I'll have my bat-unalive prototype the onomatopoeia will say BULL@#$&!? and death will be broken, bleeding, and yanked repeatedly into the street again and again but he's just a vegetable and alive how because he's Batman l🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒

[@krazykev360]

Batman saying 'Let's have some fun' to his enemies would strike fear into anyone, so much that it even gave pause to Joker

7:58 I love the European setting. Kafka called Prague a city “of dolefulness, of pettiness, of shame, of being misled, of misuse of energy" which is appropriate considering the storyline.

I don’t think ppl, bought that “dog chasing cars”, by Joker, he’s definitely wasn’t guessing in that film, everything was carefully planned out. He was a proven liar, every time he talked about his scars it was a different story every time

[@justinmcdonald2072]

I did I took it as his neurosis, not that that he is not smart but the way each part does not matter, he did not care about the money, or the gangsters, not even standing in front of citizens at the party or getting beaten up by Batman. The anarchy he is all for it as he left the blown-up police station in the back of a police car reveling in the moment. For a second in dual decision making, he won; the criminals did nothing, and the citizens contemplated setting off the criminals' bomb. I think that last scene was not true to the Joker as the detonators provided to each boat was set to the other boat not to their own. Fault falls ambiguously, but it was always the Joker who killed them even by their own hand.

[@realezabrasilenaroachxbela2559]

@@justinmcdonald2072 I did too but if you think about a lot of things that work out for him in the movie it has to do with/ great planning instead of luck

You are correct Rob. It was indeed a great story and I am glad someone has finally talked about it because it felt like it sort of wizzed by without anyone saying much. Great plot and great artwork. Thank you for making this video.

[@Izlude84]

I think the joker just watched dbz abridged and decided that he wanted to be DC's Vegeta to Batman's Goku.

I am so happy you covered this! I'm buying a copy right now. Why no mention of the Easter eggs. Dr. Chimp was in a panel.

[@2DI0pictures]

When I read this, it had the energy of a Saturday morning team up episode. I miss these simple type of stories.

[@nashhabeeb252]

“The dog chasing cars” line doesn’t imply that the joker isn’t intelligent

[@Yphraxori]

Wile E. Coyote wouldn't know what to do with the road runner but he's quite capable of overly elaborate planning.

[@Ozzymandius1]

@@Yphraxori I feel like a fair portion of the plans Joker hatches are intended to be thwarted by Batman. When the Joker REALLY wants to do something sinister to Batman, he usually succeeds. Like Joker sinister, not normal bad guy sinister.

[@pizzeria_mayhem8736]

​@Ozzymandius1 I'm sure that the main reason Batman wins is because Joker allows it, like a level to beat in a video game. With the amount of Diabolical shit that Joker has successfully done to Batman, I think it's very clear that Joker just like spending time with Batman and just lets Batman win.

[@purdueswash]

The whole point of that line is that he’s lying to trick Dent. The beginning of the movie demonstrates how joker operates, he’s meticulous.

I can see why some wouldn't like the art in this comic, but this is what I love about comic books. These panels are gorgeous! It has its own style, its own purpose, and while not every one is perfect this is irrefutably art. It screams hand-drawn with love and care, and as it leans more into its style as Batman's condition worsens, it reminds me why I fell in love with comic books. Art.
