The Joker is back in Batman

The Clown Prince of crime will be meeting the Dark Knight once again. DC Comics announced the return of the Joker in October's Batman #13, the start of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's next story arc following the conclusion of the hugely popular Night of the Owls storyline.

From Snyder-

" Bottom line: it's the biggest, baddest, most shocking Joker story I could tell. This is Joker completely unleashed. He has been away for a full year planning this revenge, watching, plotting, setting things up. And now he's back. He has his traps set, his knives sharpened... And wait 'til you see him. Greg's sketches literally gave me chills. Point blank: This is Joker like you've never seen him before. He has a mission. He has a secret. And he has a serious axe to grind with Batman. It isn't going to be pretty, but it's going to be a wild ride. Thanks for taking it with us.”
