Are Stiletto and Discuss the renegade versions of 80’s action TV show Hardcastle & McCormick? Is Stiletto actually a good name for a villain or does it conjure up images of drunken Essex girls stumbling out of the pub? The jury is still out but after all that DREADFUL BIRTHDAY, DEAR JOKER kicks off with a celebration of the greatest JOKER/BATMAN confrontations. First off BATMAN #1 from 1940, then Legends Of The Dark Knight #50 from 1993 and finally THE MAN WHO LAUGHS, a proper graphic novel re-imagining from 2005. It’s a open love letter to The Clown Prince Of Crime.
