DC has released a new teaser for Frank Miller and Rafael Grampá's Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child that features The Joker showing his true colors: red, white and blue.
The image sees the Clown Prince of Crime straightening the necktie on his American flag-themed suit, and behind him are posters bearing the unmistakable face of the President of the United States Donald Trump (though the text on the posters is implied to say "Trust" instead of "Trump.")
Announced in September, Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child is set several years after The Master Race. In addition to seeing Carrie Kelley come into her own as Batwoman, the one-shot will also show how she, Jonathan Kent and Lara Kent (the daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman) deal with a new threat to Gotham City.
