I had a burger for dinner and this *still* made me want one. Maybe not a poisoned one, though.

I liked the POV of the OC being affected secretly by the Joker. Though you'd really think unless Joker's been Clowning Around for less than a year, people would have stopped having anything to do with any new *anything* related to clowns/toys/smiles. Batman must be so darn frustrated with these people.

There still seem to be plenty of old businesses, shops, warehouses and other things with circus, clown, playing card or laughter-themed names in Gotham for Joker to use as hideouts and cover, so I don't think the populace learns very quickly!

Clowns really are creepy enough as it is. Anyone in Gotham hiring one for their kid's birthday (the Mayor in Be A Clown, I'm looking at you...) has got to be crazy themselves even before the Joker-gatecrashing risk!
