In The Killing Joke, The Joker shoots Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) through the spine before taking some snaps that he later shows to her father in order to drive him mad. It's, understandably, a pretty controversial moment that has had fans speculating upon for years: Are we to believe that The Joker only stripped Barbara for the photographs, or did he sexually assault her too? Morbid speculation to be sure - but the following unused artwork from Brian Bolland, Tweeted by Gosh!Comics employee Billy Hynes, definitely hints at a more sexual element to the Joker's torture of Barbara.
