In which Batman and Joker have lemonade together

Over at comics make no sense, Adam just had a post about Batman #145, which I thought looked interesting. So I looked into it.

The story is a continuation of an else-world/possible future, where Dick became Batman 2 and Batman and Batwoman's kid (that's disgusting) became Robin 2. Suddenly, a criminal claiming to be Joker's Son pops up, and thus:

So Bruce comes out of retirement to fight an elderly Joker and you know the rest of the story:

...Just kidding. Me and my forced jokes. But he does come out of retirement to fight pay a visit to an elderly Joker at least.

"I'm through playing games, Joker."

Wait. Wha-?

You know, this guy killed people. Why does he get a comfortable retirement home with a flower garden? Shouldn't he be in prison?

"Cup of lemonade?  Yes Please. Why thank you, Joker."

Wow, Joker actually has quite the edge of hospitality, doesn't he? nevermind that.

They're actually having lemonade together. Batman and Joker are drinking lemonade together. And actually, looka round Batman. Crime, in this issue, does in fact appear to pay. That's quite the nice cot he has there.

Furthermore:

"I mean, it's not like you're immortal!"

"Nevermind. Have a good retirement!"

Yes. Joker has his flowers and books. Last time I checked, these are what he considered flowers:

...And if you've read Batman annual #3, I don't need to explain what happened to that guy's face.

Oh, and here's what his book looks like:

Which turned out to actually have nothing written on it, so Batman burned it:

Another similar book turned up in Death of the Family, which Joker claimed had all the Bat-Family's identities in it. But alas, nay:

"Must be invisible ink again"

In other words, all of Joker's books are blank and his flowers acidic. So getting back on topic, heres Batman drinking lemonade again:

"What is it with you and lemonade? I'm trying to have a conversation here!"

"Damn you and your lemonade!"

-What i'll always quote Hal Jordan with

"What in the F*** is wrong with this guy?!"

You know, that lemonade of Joker's could have been poisonous. Thank gosh it wasn't but it could of been. Yeah if you really want to kill Batman, poisonous lemonade is the way to go. Batman can't resist a good cup of lemonade.


So thats that. What a weird post this was. You know, i read once that Batman's favorite drink was blueberry tea, because supposedly that's the tea Alfred brings down to the Batcave every night, but i have a hunch it's actually lemonade.

Well, my ride's here:

"The time has come."

See you whenever I feel like posting next!
