Bruce Wayne Was a Fan Of The Mr. Smiles Show As A Kid? Joker Sequel, The Smile Killer by Lemire and Sorrentino, Puts Batman In The Chair

Joker: Killer Smile, Godeon Falls and Old Man Logan series creators Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, the final third issue of which is out next week, will be creating a sequel to the Black Label series, out in May. The Joker: Killer Smile miniseries tells the story of psychotherapist Dr. Ben Arnell, and his study of The Joker.

The Batman: The Smile Killer one-shot will be a Joker sequel and will look at the early years of Bruce Wayne, and his being a fan of the fictional kids TV show, The Mr. Smiles Show. An early sign of The Joker to come? The show might have been watching him back!… not only was young Bruce watching, he was listening … listening as Mr. Smiles spoke across the airwaves only to him. The comic promises to flip "the mythos of the Batman on its head in the most devastating trick The Joker has ever devised!" and deliver one last gut-punch for the story.

Batman: The Smile Killer #1 will be on sale on May 13th for $5.99. Kaare Andrews will have a variant cover. But here is Sorrentino's…
