Batman: The Joker Returns!

The next villain to be featured in writer Scott Snyder's story arc for Batman, is none other than the Joker! The big announcement on Monday, comes after weekend tweets from Snyder polling followers, on who they would like the Dark Knight to take on, after the Court of Owls storyline ends.

The Joker story will begin in Batman issue 13. Snyder states that this upcoming arc will be the "biggest, baddest, darkest most twisted...we could do" with the character.
