Last week saw the ending to the epic Scott Snyder Batman story-arc Endgame in Batman #40, and (Spoiler Alert) it looks like the Joker has finally bitten the dust, with Batman staying with him to the very end (and likely kicking the bucket as well since he was in a terrible shape in a crumbling subterranean cave).

How does this bode to both characters in future issues of Batman, I don’t know but I can tell you one more thing: Greg Capullo’s art is certainly amazing. There’s a certain nuance that he lends to the characters and in the final issue of End Game, he portrays the heroes’ (and villains’, since they teamed up to battle the Joker) last stand and desperate hope. Just check out the opening scene from the book:

To me Endgame lives up to its premise and it’s worth the trouble collecting the issues, or if you are not the individual issue collecting type, get the hardcover collection when it’s out in October (click here)

OK, on other Batman related news, I’m absolutely digging the new Suicide Squad cast shot, so much so it’s now the wallpaper on my screen. My only concern about the movie is that Margot Robbie doesn’t really look that crazy in her role as Harley Quinn, but hey, let’s wait until at least the trailer is out:
