"Joker's kind of a nerd when it comes to comics and comedians. I imagine that in happier days when they had a peaceful night at home he and Harley would sit there giggling over 'Three Stooges'." -- Paul Dini

(He'd got it saving the Joker's life.)
The wound wouldn't close, despite Alfred's best efforts.
" The Stag's ancient sickness will creep. " said the Shadow.
" The strike will kill him in time..
" Batman is dead. "
( " Not yet. " )

(He'd been caught by surprise.)
The Joker and the Stag had him rigged up.
Before an audience of Gotham's other terrors, the Joker exposited.
( Batman strained. )

(He'd done it in Crime Alley.)
The killer they'd been after, the Stag, had escaped them.
Batman wanted that horned fiend quantified.
( And constrained, of course. )

He'd found him in the place of Henri Ducard.
They fenced, wooden sword to wooden sword.
Batman wanted him for the death of Lamont Cranston.
" Why kill your descendant? "
" Cranston is but one of many faces I've worn over the centuries. " said the Shadow.
He went on, ascribing the modern-day Cranston's death to another: " The Stag has come for Gotham's best, Bruce. Reason will not defeat him. "
" Convenient alibi. But I won't play your game. "
" This is no game. It is a glimpse of the world you've found.. "

It was a joint DC/Dynamite publication.
It opened on Bruce Wayne in the Alps, asking Henri Ducard to help him solve a mystery.
The mystery was a murder in Gotham.
( He'd arrived at the crime scene and asked Captain Montoya for a moment alone. )

"You guys sold out EVERY issue of DC Metal - but even more shocking, EVERY issue of the Dark Knights books. Pushing Batman Who Laughs well over 100k. THAT means we get to keep the character (maybe others too). So thank you. When you guys support new characters like Batman Who Laughs, Signal, Spider Gwen, Ms Marvel, the New Age of Heroes characters... they stay." - Scott Snyder

" Exciting! " smiled the Joker.
" I wasn't sure you'd wake up this time. "
( Batman took in his surroundings. )

Let's face it, we all knew a crossover was coming eventually in Rebirth. Now, DC did say there would be breaks to allow the bi-weekly series to stay on schedule. This sounds like this crossover over will be that.
