Batman #17: Death In The Family Finale

[superfangirl1]

The Joker has Batman strapped to an electric chair at the head of a table. On each side of the table sits the members of the family, each with their faces rapped in bloody bandages. The Joker tells Batman that they’ve each been anointed with gasoline and that there’s flint under his chair. So if he tries to bail out, they’ll all die in a fire. He reveals the cover from the dinner, and inside are the faces of each member of the family. Of course this really sets Batman off, but being Batman he has a way out because he’s smarter than the Joker.

It turns out the whole faces being ripped off thing was another Joker prank, and Batman is reunited with the family right before The Joker douses all of them with his gas, which causes the members of the family to start fighting it out with each other as Batman chases the Joker down.








Bruce informs Alfred that after he took in Dick as robin. He visit arkham asylum as Bruce wayne and bribe his way into joker cell. He then look joker in the eyes and show him the joker playing card he found in the bat-cave. The Joker was non-responsive and ignore him the whole time.

Exactly what I thought. It's like they're picking writers straight off the Newsarama and CBR forums. That bit with the Joker asking why Batman has never killed him reads exactly like it was coming from a sock-puppet.

Though the Joker USING a sock puppet to ask the question would actually have been FUNNY.
