Line 40:
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Jonny ends up laughing deliriously at one point.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Possibly just a coincidence, but the name Jonny Frost is sort of similar to Joe Chill, the man who gunned down Batman's parents.
* [[The Name Is Bond, James Bond]]: Johnny introduces himself as "Johnny. Johnny Frost." when he firsts meets Joker. This backfires somewhat, because it causes Joker to refer to him as "Johnny Johnny" for almost the entire story.▼
* [[Oh Crap]]: The look on Joker's face when he finds Croc and his men hogtied, indicating that Batman has finally found him, speaks volumes.
** The entire city of Gotham gets a collective one when the news spreads that Joker is being released from Arkham.
Line 58 ⟶ 59:
** The comic also features a "The End is Nigh" poster on page 30, which is something of a shout-out to former ''Batman'' writer [[Alan Moore]] and the [[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]].
* [[Slasher Smile]]: The Joker, of course.

▲* [[The Name Is Bond, James Bond]]: Johnny introduces himself as "Johnny. Johnny Frost." when he firsts meets Joker. This backfires somewhat, because it causes Joker to refer to him as "Johnny Johnny" for almost the entire story.
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: It's never quite revealed how Joker managed to get out of Arkham via legal means.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Harley Quinn doesn't get a single line despite doing some thoroughly awesome stuff. ▼
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: About five pages in, right when the Joker is strolling out of Arkham and looking back at its battlements. Take a look at the gargoyle in panel two. Then again in panel four. Miss something?
** {{spoiler|"[[Shout-Out|Now]] ''there's'' a [[The Dark Knight Saga|Batman]]!"}}
▲* [[The Voiceless]]: Harley Quinn doesn't get a single line despite doing some thoroughly awesome stuff.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Harvey Dent seems to think he's living in ''[[Casino]]'' or ''[[Goodfellas]]'' or some other crime-[[Film Noir|Noir]] drama, naturally with himself at its head. The Joker cuts his arm open for it.
** Jonny has similar delusions - ones that may or may not mirror those of the reader, and which get ''slowly and painfully [[deconstructed]]'' over the course of the story.
