  • “The Secret, Pt 3 of 3”
  • Joshua Hale Fialkov (writer), Tomas Giorello (artist)
  • Summary:  Ok, there has been mysterious murders in Metropolis, and behind the strange plot is the Clown Prince of Crime and Joker comes into the scene ready to make the headlines with Clark Kent.
  • Jokerlady’s opinion: I love the way Kent rationalizes his moves as he fights Joker in an effort to not fully reveal who he really is.  It’s curious to see him plea, beg, bargain with the mandman when he really knows that the outcome is the same.  Joker wants him dead no matter what .  Joker here is particularly funny, have to admit that more than one of the one liners made me smile, and Joker’s psychotic natures has been handled quite well.  One of my favorite lines:  “Mr. Kent! I ask you to please keep still while I kill you!” followed by ” Who’s shooting at me??… (Batman faces Joker, pulling an arm back for a punch)…”Oh. You. Again…Lame”.
