The True Reason Why The Joker Killed Jason Wasn't Because He Wanted To Hurt Batman Or Anything, It Was

I still can't stress enough over how underrated Ghostmaker in this fandom is.

You want to say that my man, Minhkhoa Khan, dragged Slade's ass and called him out ("But what should be expected from a guy who usually goes after the kids?") as if Super Bowl depended on him, almost kissed the shit out of Bruce in Moscow, fucks pretty men and women in his penthouse, is immune to fear toxin, and despite all break-ups and reinconcilation, total different morals, got Bruce Wayne asking him to join him in Gotham after years of divorce, AND YOU STILL SLEEP ON HIS CHARACTER?

Ghost-Maker Reading List and Order (ultimate cool version by me so its correct)

essential reading/recommended reading/optional reading

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]

Batman v3 (2016) #106-111 [lead-in to the Fear State arc, lots of good moments, the secondary story starting in #107 is Ghost-Maker focused and absolutely essential to understanding him]

Batman v3 2021 annual [my favorite Ghost-Maker story of all time]

Batman Fear State Alpha [he's barely in this, but if you want some context]

Batman v3 (2016) #112-117

Catwoman (2018) #37-38 [I have a fun time with these appearances, but you don't need to read them unless you like the Wight Witch story-line]

Batman Urban Legends #11-13 [he shows up briefly in the Wight Witch 'Stigma' story-line]

Batman Fear State Omega [he's barely in this, but he has such funny lines]

Batman v3 (2016) #118-121 [context for Batman Inc stuff if you want it]

Shadow Wars [an event story that Ghost-Maker shows up in. Find a reading order on the Wikipedia page]

Batman: The Knight (2022) #1-10 [technically he doesn't show up until issue 4, but just read the whole thing. Also this is the most up to date cannon of the backstory, even if I like it less :/]

Batman v3 2022 annual [Batman Inc kick-off]

Batman Incorporated v3 (2022-2023) #1-12

DC Pride (2023) "The Dance"

DC vs. Vampires: World War V #3 & #4 (he's in these. I don't know much about Dc vs vampires, but if you like it, he's here!)

Misc non-story appearances (you'll be disappointed if you read these for him)

Infinite Frontier #0

Justice League (2018) #75

DC Pride (2021)

DC Pride (2022)

Harley Quinn: Uncovered

DC's 'Twas the Mite Before Christmas

Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special

batman (2016) #103

sorry if you've answered similar asks or have a similar post I can't find but I don't have any comics to read right now so I was thinking of reading the ghostmaker ones because you post about them a lot but I actually have no idea which ones and what names... do you have a list perhaps?

Hi, anon!

I'm really glad my posts have encouraged you to read ghostmaker's comics, it's just like that saying, madness shared is madness multiplied or something like that...

I don't have a proper list, but @thepineconelord does

I personally highly recommend you start by reading the ones written by his creator, James Tynion IV, so:

Batman v3 (2016) #102-105 <- his introduction

Batman v3 (2016) #106-117 <- he shows up later in this arc but it's great

And Batman v3 2021 annual

These comics are my all time favorites, and the most solid writing he has in my opinion

After these, if you want to, you can jump straight to reading Batman: The Knight (2022), which is written by Chip Zdarsky, who has his own version of the character and of his backstory with bruce... I prefer the og version, but I'm fond of this one, it has its moments

I hope you like it, and if you do, feel free to tell me about it, I love talking about my boy

At the moment how I feel

just take this

Extremely funny, actually, because I just remembered half of Batman’s villains literally have PhDs

Damian: Father, I am retiring Robin, I am halting vigilante activities completely

Bruce: oh thank god, I approve So Much you have NO idea-

Damian: instead I'm becoming a doctor

Bruce: what
