"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
some days you cannot help but pity some people

The true reason why the Joker killed Jason wasn't because he wanted to hurt Batman or anything, it was because One Time, after Joker was caught and was being dragged away, Jason made Bruce laugh So Hard that he had to use Jim Gorgon as someone to lean on, that people Genuinely Thought that he had been dosed with Joker Venom until he calmed down
But nope, just a really good joke
And from that day on, The Joker hated the second Robin with a passion
Hamas lied AGAIN whaaaaaat?! Anyway.

Batman v3 (2016) #100 [this is his first appearance, but it's very brief and not necessary to understand the character]
Batman v3 (2016) #102-105 [Ghost-Maker's introduction arc, very important]

Another Ghostmaker doodle...
let us never forget that ghost-maker’s writers aren’t allowed to write him in a relationship with batman so they published a story where he fucked cat-man, who happens to look exactly like batman in his suit
“barbara gordon getting paralyzed for the sake of bruce wayne’s development was misogynist, but oracle is a better mantle for her and she should still be a wheelchair user.” i say into the mic.
the crowd boos. i begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks.
“she’s right,” they say. everyone turns to the 5th row, but no one is there. then on the screen behind me: barbara gordon herself.
