Batman: Shadow of the Bat #37 and #38 are also a good read. In #37 the joker's gang begins kidnapping specific individuals in Gotham. A vigilante named Wild, whose loved ones were personally killed by the Joker, goes after the Joker on an almost suicide run. And Batman tries to stop the kidnappings as they happen again and again. Interesting look too into Joker's profile through the files of Dr. Jeremiah Arkham too. And throughout the whole first comic Joker never even appears in it.
In #38, it is finally revealed that the kidnapped victims are specific people who viciously laughed at the Joker when he was just an ordinary man trying to make a failed living as a comic. In flashbacks he remembers their taunting, and in a present scene is shown to be actually very distraught over them, before he snaps back to his insane reality and begins killing them one by one. And of course eventually Batman saves the day. Very good two-part story.
I already have the War Games and War Drums TPBs and I also have yr1 and the death in the family TPBs so it's the 1st issue of Legeds I've bought since way back at Issue 11 with Hush and I didnt read that either as I didnt want to spoil it for getting the GN, though I havent got round to buying that yet! Apparently Joker is gd in Hush...
Oh my good... I just realised it's a rip off from Monkey Island 1 (The Secret of...). when you beat the Mellee Island sword master you get a "I beat the sword master and all I got was a lousy T-Shirt" on eand when you find the Mellee treasure you get "I found the treasure of melee island and all i got was a lusy t-shirt" T-shirt!
