Dealing with Azrael as Batman wasn't always easy. But the combined talent of Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan sure helped. As the story continues, Joker plans to offer a big reward to whoever finishes Batman off, and meanwhile sets a trap for the cops. Meanwhile Azrael/Batman finds himself facing one cinematic threat after another from a trap door with prop aligators below to a '20s comedy pie fight. This proves to the temporary Batman that the Joker is no ordinary opponent.
This was the best storyline in Knightquest and is still one of my favorite works by Dixon and Nolan. Geeze, I sure miss their Batman work.
