Batman: The Gargoyle of Gotham will introduce the aptly named Little Joker.

Rafael Grampá’s epic out-of-continuity series Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham plans to introduce a bunch of new entries into Batman’s rogues gallery. So far, this dark and disturbing series has given readers the Crytoon, MOTH-er, and the Virgin. All of whom have creepy looks and have demonstrated murderous fighting prowess.

Little Joker

However, this latest character, Little Joker, has an obvious connotation with Batman’s greatest foe. Additionally, he looks extra creepy since the character seems to be a murderous-looking child.

Creator Grampá will be using that creepy child trope to the maximum effect for Little Joker. He contrasts the character to the ultra-serious, but deadly Crytoon, who was introduced in issue one.

Crytoon is a character that has very little to laugh about. In Little Joker, he finally finds a twisted balance of evil in its purest form, and in the laughter of this sinister child.”
