Host Anthony Desiato and guest Justin De Voe (@reallifelobo) dig into the “Emperor Joker” storyline from the Loeb/Kelly era of the Superman titles. When Joker tricks Mr. Mxyzptlk out of his own power, he rewrites reality in his twisted image — turning Superman’s world on its head, introducing a new version of Bizarro, and torturing Batman past his breaking point.
