80 years ago, DC Comics created a throwaway villain called The Joker, who has hardly been heard of or talked about until this episode of Batman Knightcast. Now Ryan Daly and Chris Franklin plum the depths of comic book obscurity to find two tales featuring the so-called Clown Prince of Crime. First up is DETECTIVE COMICS #617, the single issue that launched Ryan's comic collecting habit three decades ago. Then, BATMAN #321, which celebrates the Joker's birthday in deadly fashion.
