    Speaking of "A Death in the Family," I've always found pretty fascinating the alternate page the authors made in case fans voted for Jason to live, which shows a blissful Batman holding Jason's body while yelling, "He's alive! Thank God!" I wonder how the Batman stories would have continued from that point if that page was the one used at the end. Anyway, it was colored and featured in "Batman Annual 25", the special issue that tells how Jason was revived, as "the reality that should have been", according to the narrator. They should have definitely adapted it for the interactive film

    Very different Joker, but there was an episode of the 2004 "The Batman" show (S2E4) where Joker infects Batman with Joker venom, and then dresses up as Batman and "fights crime" by killing people who break minor laws. Unfortunately I can't find any cosplays of it.

    So is this the continuation of the previous Joker videos or something else?
