All I can say about this one is "WOW!!!" They were definitely not afraid to take a few chances with the story. The Joker's speech about the loss of a child made sense after the shock reveal at the end.You can see why Thomas Wayne was so eager to help change the timeline. Not only did he watch his son die in a mugging, but his wife from the trauma was turned into that timeline's Joker. Yeah I'd say that would be more than enough to get me to want to change time.

Also they were not afraid to show that the good guys don't always win and that children aren't always safe, even in a world of superheroes. Gordon is tricked into killing Harvey Dent's daughter as Harvey's son watched helpless to say anything with his mouth taped shut. Gordon is then killed himself as he leans over the dying child.

Batman arrives too late to prevent their deaths, but what will he do in response to them?


COMING SOON
Wayne vs Wayne!
