So, Brian Azzarello's Joker then?

I remember reading all the way through to the 7th and final book and being completely stoked to FINALLY see the Crimson King in all his power and horror… and then some kid from a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BOOK popped in to use a magic eraser. So much WTF.

"A Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong or "La Vie En Rose" by Edith Piaf are both favorites of mine, and are both old enough by now that hopefully they aren't too treacle-laden…
