After 86 Years, We’re About to See a Joker Like Never Before

Okay, if you haven’t been reading the current Batman comic by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez – seriously, you’re missing out, it’s fantastic – there’s this really interesting story unfolding.

But she’s quickly become central to everything, because of this amazing new psychiatric treatment she developed called the Crown of Storms.
