The Joker: Devil’s Advocate

    (DC, 1996)
™ and © DC Comics

The Joker has terrorized Gotham City for years, torturing, maiming, and killing hundreds of innocents, not to mention other villains, with psychotic unpredictability. In his obsessive vendetta against the Batman, he crippled Batgirl and even killed Jason Todd, the second Robin. When he is finally sentenced to the electric chair, the citizens of Gotham breathe a collective sigh of relief.

The catch? For once, he’s actually innocent of the murders for which he was convicted. So what, right? Most people would say the Clown Prince of Crime is finally getting the punishment he deserves. So the question is: if you could prove he didn’t do it, would you? More importantly, should you?

For Joker and Batman, these are literally questions of Life and Death, and the Dark Knight struggles with the answers: should he be done with his greatest enemy forever, or once again watch a monster go free?
