Alex:                 What is up? You’re all welcome to The Stack. I’m Alex.

Justin:              I’m Justin.

Pete:                I’m Pete. And on The Stack, we’ve got it packed…

Alex:                 … stack for you today. We’ve got [crosstalk 00:00:17], use.

Justin:              It’s a packed stack.

Alex:                 Big issues is coming out, so let’s jump right into it. Talking about Batman number 100, from DC Comics run by James Tynion IV, art by Jorge Jimenez, Carlo Pagulayan and Guillem March. This is the culmination of the Joker world.

Justin:              Culmination.

Alex:                 It’s all been coming down to this. Big stuff happens here as the Batman takes on Joker [Mono-e-Mono 00:00:44], for all [crosstalk 00:00:49], translators. For all the [inaudible 00:00:52], there’s some twists, there’s some turns here, there’s backup stories. What [inaudible 00:00:56]… Oh God.

Pete:                Oh no, Alex.

Justin:              Oh, wow. Don’t die. [crosstalk 00:01:01].

Alex:                 That’s a [inaudible 00:01:01], Joker guest.

Justin:              Joker mist.

Alex:                 Joker mist.

Pete:                Oh, man.

Alex:                 Yeah, I’m a joker mystique myself.

Pete:                Smart.

Justin:              Oh, nice. Just to clear up your throat?

Alex:                 Mm-hmm (affirmative). No, you got to build up a tolerance, so that way… exactly.

Justin:              Yeah, that’s smart.

Pete:                Oh, yeah.

Alex:                 What do you guys think about this issue and what do you think about the storyline as a whole?

Justin:              I liked it. Especially the battle, the Joker, bat uniform and that Joker becoming Batman, I thought was a nice thing here. There’s some funny lines in here of Alfred’s Corp saying he wishes he was the [crosstalk 00:01:40], butler. Had it up for [crosstalk 00:01:42].

Alex:                 That’s not funny.

Justin:              No, man.

Alex:                 That was painful.

Justin:              An underwater butler, so fun. How do you make tea? All the waters. It’s all water.

Pete:                Yeah, I felt like, first off the art’s fantastic. I feel like the landing didn’t stick as hard as I would have liked it. Normally, when we have these big buildups, these huge fights. The wrap-up is great, but there was a lot of weird stuff that happened. I felt like there was this epic showdown and then it wasn’t between the Joker and Batman because Harley Quinn showed up
