Batman – The Man Who Laughs | Comics
|
The Arkham Asylum for the criminally insane is about to reopen again and while reporting the news on TV, a reporter faces the similar fate as the warehouse victims, laughing with the same grin on her face and the killer then threatens to kill the millionaires of Gotham City. He starts his killing spree by threatening and afterwards killing Henry Claridge with his face turning pale white by making him laugh to his death.
In spite of the best efforts Captain Gordon and his team has put to save him, he dies anyway. Batman too came to save Claridge but he successfully tracks down the mysterious killer who is reveled to be none other than the psychotic Clown Prince of Crime, who goes by the name of The Joker, an adversary who would become Batman's greatest enemy for life and an agent of chaos for Gotham City.
Next up, The Joker stages a break-out at Williams Medical Center but Batman's timely arrival had stopped the inmates from doing anything serious, yet Joker managed to kill Jay W. Wilde, whom he threatened to kill earlier. As his rampage subsequently terrorizes Gotham, soon the murderous clown has declared to murder the famous billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.
