A brutal new drug is on the streets of Gotham. It has the ability to temporarily turn ordinary citizens into Joker-esque maniacs, leading to chaos in the streets. When a police intervention ends with one of the rioters dead, things escalate, and soon the "harmless fun" turns more violent. As the police become less and less able to contain the gangs (now self-styled as the Jokerz), an imposter Batman appears on the scene, urging Gothamites to take up their owe version of the cape and cowl to protect their city.
This was a fun read, and I have to give props to the villain(s) for being particularly creepy. However, I found myself wishing that the real Joker would make an appearance (probably making some snarky comment about imitators). Sadly, the Clown Prince is absent from the whole volume, which is really my only complaint about an otherwise solid book with great art.
