“Hear about it? I thought I started that rumor,” Joker said, looking confused.
That made me laugh out loud X) Freaking Joker... so weird...
That was the last possible thing that Superman could ever do to help, it felt so petty and insignificant. A child could have done it.
Superman knew why he hadn’t come down here to Arkham before.
That? Was brilliant. I think Arkham is one of those places that could exist nowhere but in Gotham, and the way everybody's rogues end up in Gotham's Arkham or Black Gate... there's something in the city, or maybe it makes the heroes feel better, having them out of *their* cities. And Superman's powerlessness here, how there's nothing he can do to help these people, it's fantastic. Great, great lines.
Your description of the Joker was creepy and very well detailed! I had never seen him like that, but it made sense, and it was both gruesome and fascinating.

They write themselves. You can't let them takeover and eat the story. Especially Joker. Freaking blabbermouth...

I worked very hard on this part, to get the right balance of black humour and feeling. Dying is easy comedy is hard as Joker would say.

Arkham almost doesn't even fit in a comic world. Gotham itself seems so superreal it sort of defies explanation. It's like a mythic realm of dark urban fantasy, not magic or scifi. I am enamoured with a great setting myself and GOtham is the ultimate fictional city. Why else would there be so much viral marketting on it for the movie... It is gorgeous.
I really am embarassed at the compliments. I worked really hard.

He's projecting. I think he is sublimating he desire to see B, happy. I don't think that the Joker works blue generally. he is family friendly. Red and black definitely.

Someone is getting ready for Heath Ledger and the Dark Knight.... Its in the atmosphere. (Tries not to have bad thoughts about the dearly departed.)
