A stylized blue-cowled Batman faces a grinning white-faced Joker. Panel 1: Joker gloats, "You're too late Batman! Now you'll never stop my plan to LET BATMAN SURVIVE THE NIGHT!" Batman snarls back, "We'll see about THAT Joker!" Panel 2, labeled "Later...": Batman now has a Batarang embedded bloodily in his own forehead, having defeated the Joker's plan by harming himself. The Joker says simply, "Well played." Votey: a close-up of a beaten-up Batman with a swollen eye muttering, "This is gonna bruise." The joke: the Joker's scheme was for Batman to survive, so Batman foils it by injuring himself.
