The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #2
In "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before," the hunt for the real Joker intensifies as two versions of the Clown Prince of Crime clash, each leading their own chaotic gangs. With Manhunter closing in on a suspect in Los Angeles, she finds herself facing an unexpected twist—one that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about the enemy she’s been chasing. Written by Matthew Rosenberg and illustrated with chilling precision by Carmine Di Giandomenico, this issue deepens the mystery with a revelation that redefines the game. The cover by Lee Bermejo captures the unsettling duality at the heart of the story.
