The Dark Knight's Joker Quote Gets a Call out in DC Comics
Spoilers ahead for Batgirls #3!
In Batgirls #3, one of the most iconic quotes regarding the Joker from director Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy gets a shout out. Barbara Gordon, Spoiler and Cassandra Cain are working to unravel the mystery of Gotham’s newest villain the Tutor, and there are definite parallels between the Tutor and the Joker, particularly as depicted by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. The issue is on sale now in print and digital.
Batgirls follows the adventures of the three former Batgirls, who have come together to form their own team. Utilizing Barbara Gordon’s skills as an information scientist, Spoiler and Cassanda Cain are helping Gotham heal after the recent Fear State event, which nearly destroyed the city. The Tutor has risen in the wake of the Magistrate’s collapse. This mysterious new villain is using a combination of graffiti and a Fear Gas variant to stir up trouble in Gotham; the Tutor rails against what he feels is a corrupt and unjust city. The police, city officials and even costumed vigilantes have been the target of the Tutor’s ire. The previous issue ended with Cassandra Cain and Spoiler tracking the Tutor to the scene of his latest installation, only to see him turn the citizens of Gotham into mindless zombies. The issue, part three of “One Way or Another,” is written by Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad, illustrated by Jorge Corona, colored by Sarah Stern and Ivan Plascencia and lettered by Becca Carey.
