I know everyone isn't all that into the opening bits, but that page with that narration and Joker just staring... I got a bit of the chills there.

Anyhow, looks interesting and a bit exciting. Joker's dark humor is getting better for me here and I just love that final preview page. He's just not in the mood.

The bit about the Joker's eyes was great. Can't wait for next week.

You get to see a little bit of his smarts with the eye knowledge. It was nice to see how Joker's getting to Batman now, and Batman's not playing around anymore. It's serious business now

I tried not to read the preview but could not help myself like always :/

Anyway the page where Batman punches Joker and knocks his face loose is gorgeous. Can't wait for wednesday.

"You are nothing but degenerate filth!"

"Tell me where Pennyworth is and I'll only hurt you a lot."

Ugh.

Ugh.

What is he supposed to say?

Could you come up with better dialouge? I think not.

Oh boy. Let's try to avoid getting this confrontational already.

I agree but I'm sick of every thread about Batman turning into a Synder bashing. Thats not what these forums are for.

This issue seems extra campy sure to appease the rabble who hate super serious and grimdark beginnings of this arc

Awesome preview. Capullo is killing it on the art!

Yeah he is. The man most definitly deserves a break after this arc. The detail he put into the page with the Jokers face falling loose is amazing.

No dialogue would be better than the first line.

As for the second one, the threat should definitely be dropped. Batman should know that threats are useless against the Joker. Something short and terse like "WHERE. IS. PENNYWORTH." Preferably in 3 connected balloons to emphasize the pauses easily indicates that Batman is pissed and tired of the bullshit.

Snyder could really use an editor. Unless he's getting paid by the word. Which would explain all the trivia exposition.
