Tag: Joker

80 years ago, DC Comics created a throwaway villain called The Joker, who has hardly been heard of or talked about until this episode of Batman Knightcast. Now Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin plum the depths of comic book obscurity to find two tales featuring the so-called Clown Prince of Crime. First up is DETECTIVE COMICS #617, the single issue that launched Ryan’s comic collecting habit three decades ago. Then, BATMAN #321, which celebrates the Joker’s birthday in deadly fashion.

Put on a happy face! On this Batman Knightcast, Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin bring the epic Englehart and Rogers Batman saga to its dramatic conclusion with DETECTIVE COMICS #475 and #476. These issues tell the infamous “Laughing Fish” story that pits the Dark Knight Detective against the Clown Prince of Crime in one of his all-time nuttiest capers. Plus, Bruce’s relationship with Silver St. Cloud and Batman’s trouble with Boss Thorne reach their…er, sorta dramatic resolution.

Also, hear the fellas discuss the latest movie news and trailers to come out of the DC FAN-DOME media event, as well as listener feedback from last episode.

GameMasters Siskoid and David Gallaher discuss the 1986 DC Heroes adventure module Dream Machine, by Mark Acres, starring the one and only Joker.
