If you have not been reading it for some reason Scott Snyder’s Batman is THE book to read in the New 52. Him and Greg Capullo have been doing a fantastic job so far and just wrapped up the critically acclaimed Court Of Owls storyline and has teased us with The Joker’s return in highly anticipated Death Of The Family. Fans cannot wait to see what Scott Snyder does with The Joker (and trust me…us at Geekscape are in that group) but now he’s teased us with another villain he will be doing a storyline with directly after Death In The Family that fans will definitely be eager to read. A villain that made a brief appearance in the first issue of Batman but has not been seen since then.

That’s right we will be seeing Edward Nigma, one of the only villains to deduce Batman’s true identity, joining the New 52 in 2013. We can’t wait over here to see what kind of twisted riddles and puzzles Scott Snyder has brewing in his brain.

 

We showed you DC’s teaser a week ago where Scott Snyder talked about what was coming up. Now we have your first look at The Joker’s return in ‘Batman #13’.

• The Joker returns in “DEATH OF THE FAMILY”!
• He crippled Batgirl. He killed Robin. What will The Joker do now that he’s returned to Gotham City?
• What must Batman do to protect his secret identity and that of those who fight alongside him?
