For the first time in Hush, Jeph Loeb's story rises out from under Jim Lee's art to dominate an issue.
This issue is all about the Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker, and why. After after all these years of murder, why he's still alive. The one reasoning this all out for nearly the entire issue, is the Batman, who rightfully feels responsible for the endless carnage wrought by his arch-foe.
So the Batman has a great reason for sparing the Joker right? No, he doesn't. The Batman can't think of a single reason why the Joker should be allowed to live, therefore, in this issue Batman finally decides to kill the Joker. No kidding.
