Batman's Nemesis Has Cooked Up Something Vile

~Excerpt from Nightwing #16 (2013)

It's The Joker. Again! And he's not without his disgusting and morbid props.

This week's submission comes from Nightwing #16, part of the Death of The Family event, which has been ruling the comic book kingdom for the last few weeks.

Red Robin, Red Hood, Robin, and Batgirl have been captured and Joker has been showing off this gruesome platter for the last few weeks. What's in it? The answer will be revealed in Batman #17, concluding the event.

He Covers Death and Dismemberment

Are heroes and villains smart? Naw. #SuperFunnies updates every week (usually Thursday) on The Superheroes List. Here are the bloopers, flip-flops, and all-together moments of levity during exchanges of humor and snapshots of utterly ridiculous decisions in comic books.

The Joker Doesn't Just Kill You, Nightwing

VILLAINOUS MOMENTS

He Kills Everyone Else, Too.

~Excerpt from Nightwing #15, part of the Death of The Family event.

He's been terrorizing DC Comics for the last month, and just murdered a member of Haley's Circus.

The Joker is no joke; that's what Nightwing has learned over the years. But now he appears to know Dick Grayson's identity. In a cruel, senseless act of violence and madness, the super-villain kills "Jimmy", one of the Haley's Circus clowns, just for looking similar.

This is only the first death. For the second, you'll have to read Nightwing #15 and follow Death of The Family.
