"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."-Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror In Literature Yes, yes, I know. Technically, Joker's origin presented here is supposed to be "multiple choice". That argument would ...
This is an important work primarily in that it helped to redefine Batman and The Joker into their more modern and complex characterizations.
