“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy.”

And sure enough, that happened to some poor down on his luck comedian who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time… Turning him into the craziest and most psychotic villain the world has ever known and becoming the mortal enemy of a certain Dark Knight detective determined to play his opposite and bring him in by the book.
