The story Batman is continuing his more or less full-time job of getting rid of all the crooks in Gotham. The crimefighter has a little help this time, from a police lieutenant and a district attorney. But an almost impossible task looms in the form of the most dangerous criminal he has ever faced – a psychopathic mastermind known as The Joker. With his eerie grin and sadistic genius, he might well be the one bad guy that Batman just won’t be able to defeat. But doesn’t good always ultimately reign over evil? Does the Dark Knight have what it takes to be truly recognised as a superhero?
