Jerry Robinson has today passed away. Though it was often disputed he's best know for being the creator or co-creator of the Joker. But regardless his work and part in the creation of the Bat Mythos is the stuff of legend today. Needless to say he's one of DC's greats.
And of course as having created the Joker he made a character almost as world renowned as Batman and Robin themselves.
Thanks to Jerry Robinson Joker's existed for so long that much like Batman he's been used in a number of ways. Thus I have to say my favorite shall always be of what if the Joker were a hero from The Search for Ray Palmer: Crime Society as we meet the Jokester of Earth-3. I've seen Jerry at a couple of New York comic conventions, I was hoping one day to get him to sign my page from this issue, but alas that time has passed.

The Purple Man, starting his second " ..for Hire " operation this week, knows this.
He can't get Villains the same way Misty Knight got Heroes, even though he's got as many contacts in the former as she does in the latter. He's only got what he can pay to trade on (he's running his operation anonymously, which means no freebees via pheromones).
Lucky for him, then, that he's got enough initial bank (even after Misty and friends put paid to his hero puppeting ambitions) to start with some of New York's better bads.
( He gives each a piece of the whole job, the same way Misty did, but his methodology's more caper than smart mob. )

Next year, Image are doing more cool things, like bringing back BKV and letting Jonathan Hickman do more brain melty stuff, like Manhattan Projects. Yes, Projects.
What if the union of a generation's brightest minds like Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer was not a signal for optimism, but foreboding? What if everything… went wrong?
In the year 1945, the atomic bomb proved its capacity for immense devastation, but what if the creation of that ultimate killing machine was just a cover for a series of other, more unusual, programs? A brand new, monthly ongoing series from Image Comics will pose that question by taking a look at one of the most critical periods of change in the 20th century through a lens both darkened and strange. Join us, for what is poised to the breakout hit of 2012, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS!
