This is a fine Joker. Nuts, yes, but love his bit owning up to his massive ego and the humor is great too.

I love this story, and especially the Joker's "If I HAD killed him, I'd be giving INTERVIEWS!" which seems absolutely in character and another reason, among many, to despise "A Death In the Family" where he tries to cover up the fact he killed Robin.

[locuatico]

To be fair, he was in the middle of things when that happened and did not want Batman to screw it. Later, when Batman confronted him back in the US, he had zero problem admiting he was responsible for robin's death.

Then again, that "later" was when he was the new Iranian ambassador, which is arguably even more out of character for him...

[cyberghostface]

Joker being the Iranian ambassador is one of the reasons why I can't take the story seriously. It would be like seeing the Green Goblin in cahoots with Putin today.

A wealthy businessman with weird hair being in league with Putin? That'll be the day.

"Someone's killed the Penguin!"

Bruce: That's unfortunate. *goes back to reading the paper*


But seriously, I love the bonkers levelness of the Penguin's plan. Generosity, fake his death, gets a cardinal at his funeral, and then ransom while disguised as a nun. And getting one over on the Joker in the process.

I love how Batman announces his presence, and Penguin's very first reaction is to rip off his disguise and put on his top hat.

And he kept the monocle on under the rubber mask.

I love everything about this.
