Cacophony: Joker and Batman Have A Civil Conversation

[espanolbot]

Following Onomatopoeia, a serial killer who targets unpowered superheroes, stabbing the Joker in the chest to escape Batman, and he's forced to chose between saving the Joker's life and catching his killer. To Commissioner Gordon's confusion, Batman decides to let Ono' escape so he can get the Joker medical treatment, despite the Commissioner saying that, basically, "I'm not asking you to kill him, I'm just asking you not to save him", despite Batman saying that he's a human being despite his being a monster, how he can't make choices because he's insane etc. etc.

Anyway, five months later, Batman sneaks into the Joker's hospital room while pretending to be his court appointed lawyer to explain why he didn't just let him die.

Me too. HE SAYS WHAT WE'RE ALL THINKING!

I always felt guilty for liking Eustace, until I read the book again as an adult and realised that you were probably supposed to, just a little bit.

Also that's why Silver Chair is the best Narnia book. It has Eustace and motherfuckin' Jill Pole.

When I was small I was pretty big on liking the "good" and "nice" characters so that I too would be officially good and nice, but becoming a poorly behaved teen showed me the light! Now sometimes I think "if eustace can be cut out of a dragon, I can say sorry this once". It works!

Jill Pole, though. A heroine for the ages.. And the character I feel all Pratchett leading ladies aspire to be. *blasphemous*
