Published: Aug. 28, 2020, 4 p.m.

Say hello to the bad guy. In part 3 of Mad Unreal\u2019s special Batman series, we reimagine the Dark Knight\u2019s rogues\u2019 gallery by placing it in the context of a black Batman. Would aspects of the Joker\u2019s \u201clet the world burn\u201d ideology appeal to a semi-radical Bruce Wayne? Would an African-American Batman agree to become a criminal to save the reputation of Gotham\u2019s \u201cwhite knight\u201d? In this penultimate episode of our exclusive series, we explore the villains of Gotham City in a brand new light.
