The Bat-villains have been treated poorly lately.

Lieberman

The Joker: Gave a definitive origin and had beaten by Hush.
Poison Ivy: About to depower or kill her.
Riddler: Had him reverted back to a B-list villain and beaten by Hush.

Winick

The Joker: Had beaten by a new Red Hood.
Scarecrow: Turned him into an actual beast.

Rucka

Ra's al Ghul: Killed him.


Loeb

Two-Face: Cured him and put him into comic book limbo.


Now we have a new face for the Rogues Gallery:

In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed, and blew it out. - Joker
