Ok, more or less the savior comic for Batman, The Dark Knight Returns is one of the top three Batman books to ever come out. If you haven’t read the book yet then you are not a true Batman/Joker fan. This is a really beautiful internal monologue that Joker gives us while working on blowing up a carnival. Keep in mind he was just on a talk show and told the host that he doesn’t keep track of his victims, he doesn’t keep count. It is unknown whether he is referring to Batman or to everyone in this, but I like to think batsy. Without further adieu I give you Frank Miller’s Joker:
They could put me in a helicopter and fly me up into the air and line the bodies head to toe in delightful geometric patterns like an endless June Taylor dancers routine–And it would never be enough. No I don’t keep count. But you do. And I love you for it. Darling!
