• Broken Base: On whether or not making the Joker a rapist was going to far and even Out of Character.
• Complete Monster: Joker, probably more so than any other incarnation (yes, even The Dark Knight). He still has a sense of humour, but mostly his motivation can be summed up as "hate and sadism", and his humor is more black and angry than mirthful.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: "To mock you."
• Older than You Think: Most people would assume that Jokers appearance in this story is inspired by the Heath Ledger Joker in The Dark Knight, but this Joker was actually designed long before the first images of Ledger in makeup went public. The similarities are a complete coincidence.
• One-Scene Wonder: The Riddler shows up in a single scene and comes off as the most competent and awesome criminal in the book.
• Squick: A lot of the scenes involving the Joker, in particular some of his more gruesome murders, but a genuinely creepy example is of him doing something as seemingly innocuous as eating shrimp in a thoroughly revolting manner.
