It only takes one bad day to make an ordinary man go insane. He just wants to raise his family in a better neighborhood. That is what motivates the failed comedian to help The Red Hood Gang break into the playing card factory next to the chemical plant. The police then inform him that his pregnant wife is dead. The gang will not let him back out of the plan. In order to escape being captured by the police he jumps into a vat of chemical waste. The man that emerges is forever changed. In one day, his life was forever changed. Now he seeks to do the same to Barbara Gordon and her father the Commissioner. This story is no laughing matter. Join Silver Vox and Green Butterfly as we dive into the madness that gave birth to the Joker. Let’s discuss Alan Moore’s story Batman: The Killing Joke.
