Kafka (first appearance; only named in promotional 'blurb')

Synopsis:

There are still numerous 'Jokerized' criminals causing damage in Gotham City, and Batman asks Spoiler to keep an eye on the Burnley area of the city. Here she discovers a man whose entire body has been eaten away and taken over by Jokerized cockroaches, perhaps the most disgusting thing she's ever seen in her life. She watches as he/it takes off a homeless man's head, and is almost attacked by it before Batman comes to her rescue, informing her that it was probably taking the man's head off in order to breed, which is, when it comes down to it, even more disgusting. Spoiler suddenly realizes that the transmitter in her cowl has been switched on all night, but Batman tells her not to worry - he quite liked the company.
