Issue Summary: A "Senses-Shattering" Day at the Carnival

Peter J. Tomasi crafts a "mind-blowing" and high-stakes narrative that takes Batman away from the global "Year of the Villain" noise for a "weird and twisted" personal confrontation.

• The "Weird and Twisted" Invitation: The Joker takes over an amusement park, creating a "stupefying" and deadly carnival where he buys hot dogs and forces citizens to join him on rides under a "senses-shattering" threat of violence.

• Visceral Interior Art: Doug Mahnke delivers "mind-blowing" pencils, rendering the Joker's manic energy and the "senses-shattering" tension of the theme park with a "visual fluidity" that is truly "stupefying."

• The "Mind-Bending" Contrast: While Apex Lex Luther makes "senses-shattering" offers to villains across the globe, the Joker's "weird and twisted" focus remains purely on his "stupefying" and intimate relationship with the Dark Knight.
