Next week sees Jorge Jimenez return to DC Comics' Batman #145 and Chip Zdarsky after a brief sojourn during Joker Year One, which ran through February. But as of tomorrow, it is all change and kicks off the Dark Prisons storyline. Bruce Wayne and The Joker share a cell, imprisoned by Bruce Wayne's backup personality, Zur-En-Arrh, which has now found a home inside the Failsafe robot that it built. And looks to be be teaming up with Amanda Waller and Queen Brainiac as a Trinity Of Evil for Absolute Power…
And we have the confirmation that, yes, Daniel Capito taught Bruce Wayne how to control his mind and create Zur-En-Arrh in the process, and forget that a) that's what he did and b) that he could even do that. But the Joker knew… and had the skill to create three of himself. Though he managed to keep it on the inside.
And it turns out that the Joker is a fan of Zur-En-Arrh even more than he is of Bruce Wayne. The love affair just became a threesome, just with only two people. Because the Joker sees Zur-En-Arrh in the same way that Zur-En-Arrh sees himself.
The True Batman. Leaving the Joker with what Stan Lee would call sloppy seconds.
With the Joker taking a tradesman's attitude to Wayne Manor as he recalls Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Death In The Family it seems… and it seems that Zur-En-Arrh has big plans for Gotham, especially as everyone thinks he is Batman…
…and it may be that Gotham will have to pull out as a result. Not even Gotham can take Zur-En-Arrh…
