   Summary

   When Batman nearly dies facing a new foe who blames him for the death of his family, the Joker takes it upon himself to heal him and track down his Bat’s attacker. 
But as Batman slowly recovers he begins to realize that Joker’s long time love for him might be more than a mad obsession.
   And with Batman’s attacker accusing him of killing thousands of innocent people by letting the Joker live, he has to ask himself what the real reason he has been keeping the Joker alive is, and if, even after the Clown has saved his life, the only humane thing to do might be to shut down their endless fighting…
For good…
   The Joker can’t get over watching the Batman nearly die, and resolves to make the person who dared to touch his Bat suffer…
   And kill anyone who gets in the way...
   As the hunt goes on, even the Joker starts to wonder if Batman doesn’t care about him the way he thinks he does.
   Nothing good lasts forever.
   Then, one impulsive kiss changes their dynamic completely. And their decades-long dance takes a new turn…
