    The Joker and Lex Luthor have a little talk

    Synopsis: Lex Luthor next adventure leads him to The Joker.

    What's good?

    Now you don't see this every day. A conversation between Lex Luthor and The Joker.   As much as I have enjoyed Cornell's writing of Lex so far, this issue introduce Cornell's take on The Joker. It's very rare that I see Joker act serious or has something interesting to say. But that's another thing. Can you really believe anything that the Joker is saying? Besides the seriousness of the issue at hand, it wouldn't be complete without the Joker's engaging, yet, twisted humor. Nice cameo of Batman INC. to get an idea of when this is all being taken place.

    Pete Woods delivers some more fantastic work. His take on The Joker looks great (Minus one little detail (Look below)).

    What's bad?

    Minor complaint, I don't like the weird lines coming from the side of the Joker's mouth. They look like whiskers.

    Overall: Another fantastic issue. Next issue should be another fantastic issue for fans of Larfleeze of the Orange Lantern Corp. Considering that The Black Ring is almost over, who else will show up?
