Joker and IC...?

[pseudo]

I did a bit of searching on the forum about this and was not able to come up with too much... Other than his little cameo (I think it was issue #2) when he was putting the smack down on the Royal Flush Gang, does anyone know if the Joker is going to show up in IC? I was really hoping that he would play some kind of cool role in the story.

If you know a thread where this has already been talked about, just shoot me the link. :)

I know nothing, but if I HAD to guess, I'd wager that the Joker will show up in IC #7 just in time to kill Alex Luthor.

For bonus points, I bet he'll do it just as Alex, having fled to his "secret" hideout after being well and truly pummeled by the Earth-2 Superman, is threatening to one day return to make good on his promise to "create the perfect universe." Don't be surprised if his maniacal, villainous, bwah-hah-hahing laugh slowly turns into a Joker-induced rictus smile.

At least, that's how I *think* it'll go down,
Mike.

there SHOULD be info somewheres about a clue from either Dan DiDio or Geoff Johns that the Joker will have a role in IC #7.

Ah, here it is. This (http://www.newsarama.com/NYCC/DC/Counseling/report.htm) is the closest thing I can find--scroll down a bit to see Geoff Johns mentioning Joker in IC #7.

I find it equally plausible that he won't show up in IC #7, but in the Villains United special.

That could be. He could be peeved at the Society *not* wanting him...

Yeah, I was thinking this too, but I was really hoping for him to have more of a roll in IC.

Thanks, I'm glad to see that they didn't forget about him completely. :D

possible...if Didio, Johns, et al were deliberately lying in all their interviews and appearances till now. which sounds like something they'd do to mislead.
