COMICS: DC Tease The Return Of THE JOKER

Snyder and Capullo are doing the Joker, head has just exploded. Arguably best team at the moment in comics.

YES!!!

@DukeAcureds I don't think he died, his face was cut off though.

Don't you die if you have you're face cut off? You know, in the real world?
Quinn heard that he was dead, in Suicide Squad, which is why she escaped the Squad and returned to Gotham to see Joker's body. Dead, right?

Cool art

So awesome. Can't wait.

The Dollman removed his face and grafted a different one on him. That was the whole premiss to Detective #1. They just haven't followed up on that until now.

Can't wait!! Snyder and Capullo's run has been mindblowing

@DukeAcureds I know what you mean, aliens from crystalline planets, imps from the 5th dimension, a city full of hyper-intelligent gorillas, a ring that makes the wearer's imagination reality, men that can run faster than light, legion of near-immortal owl men and an amazon warrior molded from clay and given life by the gods are fine. But someone surviving from having their face cut off? That's just silly.

Whoa. Hopefully we get a risky, ballsy new approach and look to the character like they did in Dark Knight.

@Knightrider I know this is going to sound whiny, but at this point, I'm sort of sick of what both DC and Marvel are doing with their all long running series. Hear me out, until six months ago, I was an avid reader, as I have been for a long time. Now, continuity was always an issue, but I managed to work through it. I thought the DC relaunch would be a good thing, and it was initially. But after a few issues of each Batman line, I realized that while the continuity of Batman was supposedly unchanged, their was a disconnect between each title. Batman & Robin was forgiven of course, since it seemed to take place much later, but Batman, Detective and TDK seemed like Batman was three different people, in three different continuities (not to mention the Batman in JL, Batman Inc. and JLI). And with all the games the two big companies are playing to rope in the untapped market that's now gained an interest thanks to the boom in comicbook movies, I honestly couldn't care less about who writes Batman in the long run, because the publishers will still have control, and their motive seems to be largely monetary at the moment, so for a while, it's all going to be about how can we draw in readers to make IMMEDIATE profit, without caring too much about it making sense.

I know how sour I must sound, but don't get me wrong, Batman: Noel was fantastic, and I'll be first in line to buy Earth One, and I think those sort of stories have a distinct advantage (Earth One especially) because they aren't bound by cumbersome continuity issues and rigid publisher control. So to answer your question, I'm not sure who I'd like to see write any of the current titles, but if they were to give Morrison the chance to do something out of continuity, or perhaps Brubaker now that he's done with Cap, or any top notch writer really, I'd be happy. I love seeing new takes on the characters, heck I even loved what Kevin Smith did, so if anybody wrote a stand alone, I'd pick it up.

Except Frank Miller, [frick] that guy.

Just ask those guys in Florida. You can have your face cut-off and live...
