"The Joker's Five Way Revenge" Ending: The Upside of Oil Spills

[jlroberson]

This sequence just crossed my mind in light of the BP apocalyptic release of Pandora's Well. Oil does kill birds, destroy wetlands, all that. True. But.



An aside--I really miss this loose, energetic style of lettering Gaspar Saladino used.

Also: ads from the comic. Ah, guns, pirates, and false hope. Notice the DeVry scam is nothing new, as well.

Viewed in the context of the whole book, I agree with you. But, that was in the moment. People, even people as tightly wound as Bats say things like that in real life all the time.

I could tell you stories ...

To me, it was always gallows humor and was intended as such.

However, to hear that Moore regrets it saddens me.
