The comic depicting the apprehension of the Joker. Just thought people would be interest in seeing the comic. :)

For the record, I think the idea is that they actually ARE a reasonably secure facility, by normal standards - you certainly hear enough about fancy new security procedures they're trying out - it's just that they happen to deal with insane geniuses like the Joker and company, for whom 'reasonably secure' translates to 'revolving door'. It's not about how incompetent THEY are, it's about how the Joker manages to escape on a regular basis DESPITE their relative competence.

	I'm still undecided on the death penalty in the real world, but I know that they really fucking need it in DC (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They've got it in the DCU, they have it in Gotham City. The Joker keeps skipping it because he is legally insane, which he actually isn't but there you go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He is also suppose to have some of the best legal defense on earth, and I can understand. "We keep the State from killing the Joker; imagine what we can do for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And why is that an excuse? When you have an incurably rabid dog, you put him down before he hurts anyone else. In Garth Ennis' words: The hell with him. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooooh, that is some pretty art. I like it. I also like that this new Arkham guy seems to take his job seriously, and actually acknowledges Arkham's status as a revolving door prison! Yeah, yeah, I know that Status Quo is God and Arkham will still be a revolving door prison after this story, but it's still a nice sentiment (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This might minor SPOILER things if you haven't played the game (and I'm only part-way through myself), but... ...Warden Sharp is only concerned about Arkham's reputation because he's running for mayor. Having people constantly escape his prison makes him look bad. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So this is the start of that "Batman vs EVERYONE and wins: The Game"? And I thought Spiderman 3 ruined the 'four villains at a time' concept. (Reply to this) (Thread)
