They heard the fan’s prayers….
Yes, after the great story arc of DEATH OF THE FAMILY…the end was bitter sweet. The Joker probably didn’t survive the fall and if he did, he would not survive the possible infection that would have followed losing his rotted face for good (not even considering that you should not wear anything rotted on top of open wounds…what is the Joker…CRAZY??? Well, guess I think we know the answer to that….) and turned the Joker into a new monster to scare you in Halloween.
Anyways, the good news is that in the hew story arc ENDGAME, he did not only survived the fall (did anybody ever doubt it?), but it seems he got himself a new face too!! (and he had to since his “daughter” now wears the old face.) and I like the new face, going back to the reminiscent mug of the pre-52 Clown Prince of Crime. Here is a preview and if you want to see more…what are you waiting for? Grab your copy of Batman #36 for part 2 of the new Joker storyline…

Even his explanation about how he has been hiding in plain sight is incredibly well written… Scott Snyder did his homework. (Just check : AFAMELANOTIDE) and the rest is pretty close to real scientific fact).
And my favorite scene when the Clown rubs his finger in Batman’s wounded Detective ego. I love the look in both Joker and Batman’s faces. Great job Mr. Capullo!
