Batman jabs an accusing finger at a uniformed police officer and rants in his own defense: "I'M stupid? Well, I didn't see anyone wearing makeup! I didn't hear any names starting with 'THE!'" A caption reads: "March 19, 2018: Batman frees the nation's serial killers." The joke: Batman, having learned his enemies are theatrical types like the Joker (makeup) or villains called "The ___," concludes that ordinary, unflashy serial killers must be innocent. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white sketch close-up of Batman's cowled face declaring, "I have seen evil. It wears makeup."
