An Innocent Guy

The copy of The Killing Joke I bought came with a small little story at the end called An Innocent Guy, which was part of the Batman Black and White limited series back in 1996. This story is about a man who has never done anything wrong but wonders if he truly is a good man in Gotham. He believes that to prove if he's a good man is by committing one horrible act and then not wanting to pursue a life of evil. His act and plan is to simply shoot Batman in the head instead of making some gimmicky plan, leave no trace, and go back to a regular life without so much as a thought of committing another crime. Without knowing anything about this guy, this comic is truly terrifying to read and the main character, who isn't even given a name, is very fascinating. The fact that he believes that the only crime he needs to commit is to kill Batman truly shows what Gotham can do to someone. Over all: 100%
