The Penguin Copies The Joker In Dark Knight (Batman #125 Spoilers)

This week sees the launch of Batman #125 by Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez, with The Penguin setting up himself up as a new hero of Gotham in a social activist Robin Hood fashion, stealing from the Irish to give to the poor. Or rather, forcing the Irish to give to the poor, or he will kill them. And their kids. But his true target is not the Irish. It's Batman.

And it brings to mind the end of the Hunt The Dark Knight by Frank Miller, Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley. A final battle between the Joker and the Batman.

The Batman breaks the Joker's neck. Paralyses him. But does not kill him, No, the Joker does that himself.

As an ultimate revenge against Batman. Framing him for a murder that he didn't commit, and all that follows suit.

The police in pursuit, Batman forced to fight them back, counted by the Joker from hell.

And it looks like the Penguin has planned just the same for the Batman. At the moment of Oswald Cobblepot's death.

Batman, murderer of Oswald Cobblepot, folk hero, social activist and a new Robin Hood.

Now seen as a stooge of the elite, a murdering stooge at that, and fighting against the people. What kind of Failsafe might Gotham have against that? More from Batman #125
