Episode 136: The Cop and the Clown

BatChat With Matt & Will: A Batman Ranking Podcast

The Joker has wreaked unspeakable trauma on Batman over the years of their rivalry. But there is one man who he has possibly hurt as much, if not more: Jim Gordon. The Joker and Gordon's relationship goes back as far and Joker and Batman's, and Joker has often focused on Gordon. This week, we look at three of the encounters between Gotham's top cop and the Clown Prince of Crime. We witness a flashback to Gordon and Joker's first solo confrontation, see what happens the first time the two meet after The Killing Joke and read an opus as Gordon goes on a worldwide hunt for Joker.
