Marc Silvestri's Batman & Joker: Deadly Duo #7 has finally closed the book on the long-brewing story from writer/artist Silvestri, who began work on the story all the way back in 2014. A labor of love, Deadly Duo represents Silvestri's statement on who and what Batman is, and how he relates to his arch-enemy the Joker through the lens of a once-in-a-lifetime team-up.
But the final issue, while providing and electrifying final showdown between Batman, the Joker, and their common enemy Amanda Simms, ends with the kind of punchline that can only take place between two lifelong arch-foes.
