In Batman: The Three Jokers #2 by Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon – Red Hood and Batgirl, shared a moment.

It didn't end well.

In Batman: The Three Jokers #3, Jason presses the point.

It still doesn't go well. So, he goes for a bit of a hail mary. Puts it out there and walks away. Only for his best-laid plans to gang a-gley as they aft do.

Oh what horrible luck. Of course, maybe it will turn out that the janitor is The Batman Who Laughs or something. Or maybe Batman himself, in disguise, ready to mount it on the wall of his Batcave.

UPDATE: Zoom in on that Janitor's jacket, thanks to Jimmy Liszewski.

"Funtime Cleaners" – It's either the Joker or one of his henchmen. Okay, The Four Jokers here we come. Anyway, if Jason Todd wants some solace, he can always pop over to his own comic book, also having a final issue today, Red Hood: Outlaw #50.

Well, it is the last day of school, all sorts of things end up happening.

Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd and Artemis…

Is it just me or does Jason Todd clearly have a bit of a thing for redheads in costume? UPDATE: Oh and in Batgirl #50. Barbara Gordon is scotching any get together with Nightwing again as well.

And taking her non-Batgirl identity into Jason's arms…

No one tell Jason Todd about the Jason Bard, okay? What is it with Barbara Gordon and brunettes called Jason?

Jason Todd's downward spiral began when he was murdered by The Joker. But deep in his heart he blamed himself for charging headfirst into deadly danger. His rage and self-loathing caused him to lash out at those around him-keeping friends and family alike at arm's length. Until the Outlaws. First Arsenal and Starfire, and later, Artemis and Bizarro, saw through his defenses. Now it's time to pay it forward to the one person who represents all the mistakes he's made in his own life: Duela Dent. But can he save The Joker's Daughter…when he couldn't even save himself? Don't miss the end of the Outlaw era!In Shops: Oct 27, 2020 SRP: $5.99

Series finale! All good things must come to an end, as we wrap up this run of Batgirl with one final oversized celebratory issue! In the aftermath of "The Joker War," Gotham is left in pieces that need to be picked up by Barbara and Alejo's team-but is Gotham a city worth saving anymore, and how much longer does our girl have it in her to keeping fighting for it as Batgirl? Then, if Barbara is to ever give her relationship with Jason a chance, she knows she has to face him and finally make amends with the act that crippled him.In Shops: Oct 27, 2020 SRP: $5.99

Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, which runs Magic The Gathering nights on Fridays, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, which also runs Magic nights and has an extensive back issue collection and online store.
