Modified Joker Venom: Laughs made a modified strain of the Joker Toxin that made him insane. The toxin eliminated all positive aspects of one's personality rather than completely driving them insane, leaving only feelings like rage and resentment.This plays out during the conclusion of the story. Batman could end it all there and then by dropping Joker into the poisoned reservoir, but reassures himself that “I can’t.” Reprieved, the Joker threatens to kill the residents of Gotham some other time, to which Batman responds “no, you won’t.” The Man Who Laughs takes place roughly one year late, and shows Gordon as bitter, jaded, and hopeless. He’s suddenly nearing the nihilism of a cop on burnout and subsequently adds nothing to the investigation. My question is: “what the hell happened in that 12 months?
