Knight Terrors: The Joker #1

There's something deeply unsettling — and quietly hilarious — about the Clown Prince of Crime slumped at a Wayne Enterprises call center desk, green-haired and glassy-eyed, clutching a "World's Best Employee" mug while a headset hangs from his ear. Stefano Raffaele's cover plants the Joker in the most mundane corporate nightmare imaginable, surrounded by office clutter, a Batman knick-knack, and coworkers who seem blissfully unaware of who's sitting among them. Part of DC's 2023 Knight Terrors event, this issue by Matthew Rosenberg and Raffaele promises a story where the Joker's inner world gets put through its paces in ways that are anything but ordinary.
