Add to that a weird-looking James Gordon Jr. They switch up duties halfway through, and the break is obvious in the sudden change in the Joker’s look. Ed Benes and David Sampere take turns aping Greg Capullo’s Joker, rather than doing their own takes. Unfortunately, the art is about as slapdash as the Joker’s strapped-on face. Simone continues to find a lot of the same notes she hit in her previous Death of the Family tie-ins, and while she doesn’t bring the story to any new levels, she does maintain the momentum she has coming into issue #16. The result is another outburst of absolute fury from Barbara as all her psychological pain turns into pain for the Joker and his henchmen.īatgirl #16 can never be the revenge fantasy readers might want it to be – Joker has to survive, after all – but it does allow Barbara to let off some steam by turning the Joker into a punching bag. Gail Simone’s Batgirl #16 brings the Joker’s wedding plot to a climax by inserting the volatile James Gordon Jr. There’s another spider in the porridge, and his name is James Gordon, Jr.
