Batman
Character » Batman appears in 23537 issues.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
Why Joker didn't laugh when he killed Sarah Essen?
I thought Snyder was just recycling someone else's work again.
He's awful >=T
@Squalleon: I honestly dont remember that part too much, but I remember the issue's writing felt rushed because it was so close to the end of no mans land. However my memory may be flawed as you stated it was a host of years ago. GREAT storyline, it really put batman back on my radar.
As I said, Joker going in glee, would be EXPECTED.
EXPECTED: Joker cracking up after shooting Sarah, still cracking up maniacally after Commish and co. catches up to him, probably even kill him within a few panels, out of defense for everybody, not to mention the babies; since a body is already down on the scene, what say he won't try to shoot another?
UNEXPECTED: Joker, realizing "No Man's Land" has gone much too far enough, despite shooting Sarah, walks out into the open, without a crack, seemingly a rare moment of self-awareness, actually walking to James, and "I Surrender", much to James' and even Batman's complete surprise, for once.

The reason he didn't laugh is the same reason that sometimes in comedies there is an actual serious moment.

Is this some crap written by Snyder? Just stop reading it.

To me, this is one of the few examples that demonstrate that deep down the Joker knows what he's doing is wrong. He knows that the smile, laughter, and jokes are all a great facade that fuels the hatred within him. And every now and again, the Joker shows his true face. And that's where we see the dark, depressed, and utterly hopeless side of his character. We saw a bit of this in the Killing Joke, and this dark moment here captures that as well. Notice, he reverted back to the jokes and laughter when he was facing down Batman and the Commish.
