Do you know the score from Jaws? Of course you do. Everyone knows the score from Jaws. The iconic sounds of John Williams’ score helped to give the unforgettable Steven Spielberg film an eery and uneasy backdrop that put its audience on edge until the film’s end and even long after. Scott Snyder may not have a chilling score at his disposal, but he’s managed to keep his audience on edge throughout Endgame just the same thanks to the most unsettling take of the Joker yet. Yes, including that time he wore his own face as a mask. Issue #39 is full of unsettling and unexpected moments, and it shows that Snyder’s take on Batman and Joker will be impossible to forget.
The opening panel of this issue is that of...well, you really just need to see for yourself. It’s not gruesome or gory. Nor is it really something complicated to depict. Actually, it’s quite simple really. At the same time though, it’s deeply unsettling. It’s something that’s evocative of just how bad things are in Batman’s world, and it sets the stage perfectly for the surprises to be found throughout this issue. We are now, both sadly and excitedly, at the penultimate chapter of Endgame. The conclusion is now right around the corner, and issue #39 shows fans that things will only get crazier before it’s over.
