North Koreaâs apparent loss of one its submarines this week is a stark reminder that operating in the undersea domain is fraught with danger. Since the Second World War, the United States, Russia and Chinaâand a host of other nationsâhave lost vessels and their crews to accidents.
Barbara Kean was an art gallery owner in Gotham City, and formerly the fiancÃ©e of Jim Gordon. Both his work and Leslie Thompkins eventually ended their relationship. Under the influence of the Ogre, she murdered her parents, which got her sent to Arkham Asylum.
In the Flashpoint universe, it was Bruce who was murdered, instead of his parents, with his father becoming Batman and his mother becoming Joker. Likewise, in modern Batman comics, Barbara and James Gordon's son became quite the tortured killer himself. That slight inspiration could be used for the new Joker here. In the final episodes of season one of Gotham, it's safe to say Barbara Kean lost it.
