Until now, the only mention of Norwich in a DC comic book title is the knowledge that's where Jason Blood, The Demon, originally came from.

Until now, the only mention of Norwich in a DC comic book title is the knowledge that's where Jason Blood, The Demon, originally came from. Jason of Norwich was his name, before he was cursed with the demonic spirit of Etrigan. But tomorrow, in Batman Incorporated #10, jumping from Kangbashi District in China to Melbourne, Australia, the team end up in a terraced house in Norwich.

Where they encounter the previously thought-dead Welsh version of The Joker, Dai Laffin. Still alive and kicking, rather than pushing up the water-projecting daisies.

Why Norwich? It's not in Wales. It's on the directly opposite side of England to Wales. Wouldn't Newport do for that? Well just a thought, but Norwich is famously the home of top comedy character Alan Partridge, to the extent that they even erected a statue there in tribute to Steve Coogan's co-creation and the impact it has had on the town. Might it be the perfect town to attract a killer clown? Where he can listen to Mid Morning Matters on North Norfolk digital? That would be enough to drive anyone to madness… could this be his One Bad Day?

Batman Incorporated #10 by Ed Brisson and John Timms is published tomorrow from DC Comics.
