The Joker is back, and he has transformed into something more deadly and insidious than ever before.

Targeting those closest to Batman, The Clown Prince of Crime will unleash his most unpredictable, vicious, and psychotic assault on the Dark Knight ever!

One year ago, the Joker limped off the streets of Gotham, mutilated and scarred when someone had taken the pale white skin right off of his face.  

But now, the Dark Knight’s greatest foe has returned and for once, Batman doesn’t seem to be his target.

Instead, the Joker turns his vile hatred towards Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood and Red Robin… the only family Bruce Wayne has left. The Clown Prince of Crime will unleash his most unpredictable, vicious and psychotic assault ever on everyone Batman holds dear.

Can Batman stop his arch-rival’s most deranged assault ever? Or will the cost of a deadly secret be a family member’s life?
