The Joker: Endgame

Product Information

Batman actually prepared a protocol for if he had to fight the Justice League in Gotham, and has a warsuit designed to fight all of them (including Green Lantern, who was no longer a member of the Justice League at the time, albeit with the use of his lessened weakness to yellow), and does a decent job explaining how it can do so. He even carries around a pellet of "Kryptonite gum" in the suit which he uses to disable Superman. Hood, Cooper (October 12, 2018).

As the Joker plays his endgame with the Batman, citizens, villains and heroes alike must survive his deadly antics and come to terms with who the Joker is and what he means to them. a b " Avengers: Endgame".

He never liked to look at his own death, having only ever thought he was preventing it. But in facing the Joker this time, Bruce had to look death in the face several times. Alfred had hoped that by seeing his own death, Bruce would find a way out of the life he'd built from himself, even though he'd known Bruce would never quit. That's why it was wrong for the Joker to tempt Bruce with a happy ending. The truth about Batman is that his story will always be a tragedy, and Bruce would never have let it be anything else. His great flaw is that even though he could live forever, he just dies. It is also his greatest strength; that what makes him immortal is his mortality. Batman had lived bravely, and smiled at the void. That was why his last message is and always would be "Ha." Dr. Dekker, a mad scientist who was released from confinement to the Joker under an alias, is Batman's best hope for finding a cure for the toxin. Dekker says that the Joker is immortal, a being that has existed since Gotham City's beginning. Dekker then injects himself with a serum given to him by Joker and dies, rotting away before Batman's eyes. a b c d Radulovic, Petrana (March 14, 2019).

In an interview with CBRabout Batman#35, Snyder described Joker’s throught process, as he begins his final battle with Batman: “ Joker’s saying, ‘This is the end of us. This is it. This is the last Joker story of Batman and Joker.’ Joker is moving on, is what Joker would say. So it’s really the end of the game played between the two of them.”

Who's responsible? An old enemy, crawling out of the shadows and more powerful than ever before, with a new purity of purpose. Who wants nothing else apart from Gotham destroyed once and for all and Batman dead, no matter what it takes. As Gotham tears itself apart, Batman is forced to rely on his wits, his strength, every ally he's made so far and more than a few of his demons to stop this threat. Walking Spoiler: The Joker's role in this, let alone the fact he's in it at all, is a spoiler. Counts as a Late-Arrival Spoiler as well since all the covers after the first chapter are associated with the main antagonist. Walljasper, Matt (August 24, 2017). "What's Filming in Atlanta Now?
