10 Best Joker Stories You've Never Read

3. Slayride (Detective Comics 826)

Think of the last place on Earth you€™d ever want to be. Okay. I submit that your nightmare situation cannot match the terror of this comic€™s setting€” alone with Joker in his car. Robin finds himself in said predicament, tied down to the passenger seat, and can€™t do anything but serve as Joker€™s captive audience. This is another unsettlingly cruel story by Paul Dini of €œBatman: The Animated Series.€ Joker runs over five pedestrians and shoots a drive thru attendant before Robin manages to free himself (distracting Joker with an argument over a Marx Brothers quote) and put an end to his spree. It€™s sick but riveting stuff, as if all the self-censoring Dini had to do for the cartoon created a buildup of downright unpleasant Joker material.
