Batman R.I.P.

[Saint]

I am pretty sure Gordon is competitant enough to realize what it means when people start showing up at Bruce Waynes house looking for Batman.

Haha, I guess so.

Anyone wanna post some scams of Joker+Batman?

Deep down Gordon, I think, has always known. He couldn't say that aloud because if he admitted to knowing who Batman was he would have to question him and arrest him and he didn't want to do that.

Also, I think the Joker is too insane to care who Batman is and even if he knew it was Bruce in the Bat-suit he would still be fighting Batman not Bruce Wayne.

I'm not sure how Talia and Gordon teaming up means Gordon knows Batman's identity.

While looking at things so directly you're forgetting past Batman comics that always hinted that Gordon knew including the much praised Year One and No Man's Land arcs.

well Batman said back during Hush that Gordon is too good a cop to not have figured out his identity by then (and Superman happened to say the same thing about Perry White).

i can't think of the significance. i'm assuming someone (jezebel) will explain it next issue.

here u go

Not really. It makes me think that the Joker doesn't care about secret identities, as has always been suggested.

I wasnt refering to Jokers reaction....I was refering to Bruce being confertable walking around with out his mask on.

 

[Jack Ups]

Joker looks piss poor, the sooner they get rid of the Bullter mark and the lizard tounge the better( i can live with the scar smile for a few years)

In #663, Joker used red and black roses coated with chemicals that, when combined, would trigger a fatal toxin. Same deal here.

Hm. I'm not sure that it all being in his head would make him any less likely to react. I think the reason he's not reacting is because the personalities that would care (Bruce Wayne and Batman) aren't driving.

Ok I can see that.

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

If Jezebel Jet is the Black Glove and Simon Hurt is an equally mediocre reveal, then Batman RIP is officially Hush with 80% more hype. That said, I do like the tension in the scene with Red and Black everywhere, but Joker cutting his tongue was stupid, he wouldn't even be able to talk properly after that. No, I found that "symbolism" really unnecessary. And I do hope they get rid of that bullet wound and give him some clothes, he looks plain ridiculous.

 

[Drz]

Thanks for the scans! =) I was lucky enough to actually get to read this issue too today haha. =P But who do you guys think Dr. Hurt is? Joker agreed to help him simply because he found out who he was and the story so yeah..

 

[CaptainClown]

Dr. Hurt is going to be Bruce Wayne's Uncle..

 

[Dark Globe]

Everyone's comparing Joker to Marilyn Manson, but I find that The Joker looks more like Ogre from Skinny Puppy.

 

[Motown Marvel]

good issue, and im enjoying RIP, but i really didnt like tony daniels' joker.

"You think it all breaks down into symbolism and structures and hints and clues. No, Batman, that's just Wikipedia."

And the title of the story's a reference to Bowie. The list goes on!

"That's not Batman." -"He's right. Batman's cool, he wears black"

LOL.

Nice nod.

got the petals, but what's up with the deadly floor tiles? and is this Really the first time bats has been hit with the joker gas? remember, this Whole damn story started off with gordon 1/2 gassed making a joke that offended a nurse then a couple minutes later bats 'accidentally' makes the Same joke (about a guy who got beheaded), which on GM's level means bats already gets the joker's gallow's humor, as do most people who deal with death on a professional basis, like forensic photographers, etc- annnyway- point hammered home, i suppose...
and yeah, GM Did say he was lying right out in the open about BGs ID for pretty obvious reasons, so i guess it comes down to 'was it a good story and worth all the misdirection?' and i'd say for the most part yeah, it was, although some of the above complaints ring true, and this is Far from the sickest joker i've ever read- he did better with less in arkham asylum which is still gigantic over a decade later for a Reason and moore Pwned him w/ killing joke; i mean, i got a lump on my Shin just for Telling my in-laws what happened in That story over dinner after DK recently- they couldn't Believe DC sold that **** to kids and i should know since i Was a kid and they sold it to Me-
and who else here's disappointed that the story's name is a bowie nod, but this joker's so far from thin white duke in both the writing And the art it just kills it; why use the title? and yeah, the trepanning- we Get it, grant, Damn. i'd have welcomed a real bowie nod instead of that 90s MM SkiPup ooh let me name drop another 90s spookster with a synthesizer of the minute to show how goff i am (i got dibs on the David J comparison in That case)- hell, i'm going to pitch a story to DC just Because of that lame ass stunt- i've got my own rocker in mind to base him off of too...oooh it'll be Cool to see 'who gets it'- which brings me back to the 'Now do you get it?' part- it's either still a 'NO, Hell No and Nuh Uh' or a 'Yes and you mean that's It?' a chick named jezebel dupes a guy? boy, that's Gotta be a first time Ever for That story, which i watched So MANY of y'all call, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr- this steenks of Feesh!!!
depends on the last chapter, which better not be late. really. i Mean that.
oh, and does this mean the same's true of mxyzptlk? and i Still don't get WTF the critter slithering around on batmite's back was- i mean, really- the Id? you're sharting me, right?
this was a fat, wet, splattering sticky fart of an explanation, no offense.
long live jason toad & where's Tim, or is that the final piece of the betrayal? that Tim's the Barry Gibb here, not Dr. Reznor, i mean Hurtmyselftodaytoseeifistillhaveavaj?

ALL HAIL KRYPTO THE SUPERDOG- (He's an asskicker And a very good boy!)
