"Morrison’s claim that the Joker kills Batman at the end of the story is clearly only one way of reading an intentionally vague scene. Obviously, DC would never let them actually kill Batman in the story, but the fact that the ending could be interpreted that way enriches the twenty-five-year-old comic. "

They have this COMPLETELY backwards. I didn't read the rest of the article but clearly this guy has no idea what the **** he's on about

Yeah, I listened to the podcast and Morrison was saying that it was Batman killing Joker.

Either way though, I appreciated the links from that article. And I don't care how hard you read that last page...it's impossible to tell what happens.

What's the one where Joker holds all the kids hostage and when someone shows up (Gordon or maybe his wife?) he offs them?

I'm thinking it's The Killing Joke or No Man's Land. Can't remember for sure though..
