Character(s):
Batman; Commissioner Gordon; Barbara Gordon [Batgirl]; Harvey Bullock; Joker (also as the Red Hood in flashback); Penguin (cameo)
Synopsis:
The Joker takes Commissioner Gordon to a modified carnival where he tries to drive him mad (partially by showing him pictures of his naked and bleeding daughter); Batman arrives.
Notes:
Story tells a comprehensive origin of the Joker based on the story "The Man Behind the Red Hood" from Detective Comics (DC, 1937 series) #168. This story is still considered controversial over two decades after its publication, mostly due to the crippling of Barbara Gordon, but there is a clear indication that creators Moore and Bolland originally intended this to be a non-continuity "final" Batman vs. Joker story
