Youve got a 55-year-old Batman and youve got a flirtatious white-suited Joker fighting to the death in the Tunnel of Love. The stuff of dreams. This is a Joker who shook his years-long catatonia when his darling Batman came out of retirement, a Joker who clearly harbors feelings for his opposite number. Both hero and villain are left battered and bleeding from this vintage Frank Miller grudge match. As sirens close in, Joker showcases the suicidal recklessness that so often proves his undoing, but with a whole new level of commitment. He spits out his final cackles as he twists and wrenches his neck. Out of sheer spite, he breaks his own spine. Sheesh!
