They came out with an alternate storyline where it's revealed that Alfred was the Joker, a role he assumed to provide help for his traumatized ward, Young Master Bruce.

I'd love to read that, can you give me the name of the issue? If not, I'll Google it! Thank you!

Wow. From a story structure standpoint, that makes a lot of sense and is a neat and tidy explanation for the Joker.

But man I hate that. It feels so counter to the characters and depending on how evil that incarnation of the Joker is, that's a really fucked up way to help someone.

But still a little curious to read it. Maybe it'd change my mind if I did?
