We get a HUGE reveal in Titans Beast World as Doctor Hate is unmasked, while the Penguin shows how evil and manipulative he can truly be. In Batman Brave and the Bold, the close ties of Batman and Joker date back to their first interaction, but it's the Wild Dog story that really shines in this issue.
