Maybe it's just my bad eyesight, but in that panel where you see the Joker and Two-Face sitting at a table, it looks like the Joker is holding half a grenade and Two-Face is gazing lovingly at some chips. (French Fries? Chips? There shouldn't be a language barrier between English-speakers, but there is.) Anyway, I now really want to see the Joker and Harvey go on a road trip, just because.

I have nothing to say about that video game. NOTHING.

I think surrealname and I have discussed the same thing. Or if we hadn't, he is now. It'd be like a criminally insane version of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!

I like to think he snatches them out of Ozzie's cigarette holder the second the poor guy lights up.

*flick* "Ahhh, nothing like a fine Chesterfield, if I do say so m--"

"YOINK!"

"Waaaugh! Return that at once, you infuriating farceur!"

And then the Joker holds it over Ozzie's head, making the poor guy hop in exasperation. Meanwhile, Harvey breathes a sigh of relief that he's being ignored for the time being.

*HEE HEE* Now I wanna see Joker & Two-Face voiced by James Avery & Pat Fraley in the next cartoon.

On a more serious note, this storyline sounds awesome. Some of my favorite Batman stories are about how he has influenced average citizens for better or worse.

I'd love to see Joker and Harvey try to achieve a dynamic akin to Krang and Shredder, although I'd be tempted to instead write them like Cobra Commander and Destro.

It's a great little storyline. The first part ends in a pretty pat note, so the second part probably seemed like a sudden return to the Carma story, but they're very good nonetheless.

it makes me kind of sad how much the cover is the best part of the imposter joker story.

Breyfogle draws a great Joker, and it's a shame he didn't/doesn't get to do it more often. I was just reading a silly Alan Grant comic that came out a few months before the Impostor Joker story, and the final page with a Joker reveal is just punch-you-in-the-pants great.

I tried and failed to find a scan of it. It's from this issue. I'll try to have it available on hand if you come down to DC in July.

I'm surprised there aren't a dozen Joker-impostors. I mean, yeah, he'll kill you for mocking his shtick, but Gotham thugs aren't exactly the smartest people in the bunch, so why not?

Also, I take it you don't like Kick-Ass much. Not surprised seeing as people either seem to love and praise it or bash and detest it. Me, I love it, though I haven't read the comic.
