Spider-Man and Kafka are then greeted by Cassandra Briar, a behavioral psychologist appointed by congressional committee to deal with people such as Kasady. Briar ‘s solution to Kasady ‘s hostile brain is to insert a bio-technic computer chip into his body to control and pacify him. however, Kafka and Spider-Man are opposed to Briar ‘s unethical methods. But they are over-ridden by Briar as her method acting puts an end to Kasady ‘s panic as Carnage. Kafka and Spider-Man have no state to prevent Kasady from undergoing the implant operation. Meanwile, in Gotham City, Batman stops the Joker from unleashing Joker venom-infected bats. late, at Arkham Asylum, Briar and Kafka are viewing the security footage of an imprison joker from Dr. Arkham ‘s function. Briar consults with Arkham on using her bio-technic nick to solve Joker ‘s insanity. Dr. Arkham is diffident of Briar ‘s method acting but is convinced when Briar amazingly shows a pacify and diffident Cletus Kasady in handcuffs. Briar in full explains to Arkham that the chip not merely calmed Kasady ‘s aggression but subjugated the symbiote into a state of quiescence because, without Kasady ‘s violent emotions, the symbiote had nothing to feed off of and is consequently domesticate. erstwhile late, the Joker is implanted with the chip and is displayed along with Kasady in a press conference in front of Arkham Asylum as Briar praises the function of the chip. Afterwards, Briar and a driver escorts Joker and Kasady through Gotham. The driver is anxious at having the two criminals besides closely unguarded. Briar assures him that the two are no long the men they once were, and that “ the Joker and Carnage are all in ”. As Briar says this, the driver is impaled by Carnage. The symbiote explains to Briar that the chip proves useless in containing him and he has been waiting for the properly moment to “ explode ”. As the cable car they are in crashes, Carnage holds both Joker and Briar hostage as the government escorts are at a stand. A guard duty then reveals himself to be Batman. slaughter shows Batman that he is entirely different from the common Batman ‘s Rogue ‘s Gallery bane. While slaughter is talking, Spider-Man appears and saves Briar with his web. Spider-Man and Batman attack Carnage. however, Carnage escapes along with the Joker by shooting shards of tentacles at the guards, forcing the heroes to delay and tend their wounds. later, Batman tells Spider-Man to stop ‘helping ‘ and leave the city. Spider-Man protests to him that he only wants to help, but Batman states again that he does n’t need or want his help and then leaves. At a warehouse, Carnage manages to destroy the bio-technic chip within the Joker allowing him to be who he was again. Carnage then proposes that he and the Joker should work together. The Joker agrees. At the Bat Cave, Batman researches Cletus Kasady and realizes that his mind is besides abysmal to grasp. Batman then decides to leave to “ pick up something ” after implicitly disrespecting Alfred ‘s finger sandwiches. interim, Spider-Man swings across Gotham City and stops an insane mugger from murdering a charwoman and is then greeted by Batman in his Batmobile who beckons him to come with him. In Joker ‘s hideout in a vacate dramaturgy, the Crown Prince of Crime explains to Carnage his plan of implanting his Joker virus in hundreds of “ Joker-in-the-boxes ” and to be given away to “ needy tots ” as their “ Christmas give ”. however, Carnage argues against the Joker ‘s outline as “ unintelligent ” and prefers the more mastermind motif of mass-murdering people in the most hideous way. This disgusts the Joker, who proudly proclaims that “ dash ” and “ theater ” are the better road. The Joker decides that teaming up with Carnage is wrong, comparing him to David Hasselhoff. After infuriating Carnage, Joker makes his bequeath through a trapdoor. From a dependable distance, the Joker uses a distant detonator to destroy his hideout in a massive explosion while slaughter is still inside. meanwhile, traveling in the Batmobile, Batman apologizes to Spider-Man for denying his help oneself and that having a friend who knew about Carnage may prove helpful in arresting the symbiote. The two manage to track Carnage ‘s location through a end of his chip by tracking its frequency, and discovers the finished field. The two discover the torso of slaughter but it proves to be a trap, as Carnage grabs keep of Batman, who tells slaughter he ‘d quite die than submit. As Carnage is poised to make the killing boast on Batman, the Joker interrupts and tells Carnage to back off from killing Batman, as he is the only one who has the right to kill “ his ” Batman. Joker then reveals a Joker-in-the-Box containing the deadly virus, announcing his plans to unleash it immediately. Spider-Man expresses shock at Joker ‘s unmindful disregard for human biography, while Carnage displays abject fear of being killed, giving Batman the boundary in fight with the cowardly villain. Spider-Man then snatches the Joker-in-the-Box from the Joker with his webshooter, as Batman subdues a “ weak-minded ” slaughter into meekness, forcing him to revert back to Kasady. Spider-Man tracks down Joker and catch detention of him, and threatens to kill him, which delights Joker, who is eager at the prospect at driving a “ dainty two shoes ” into cold-blooded murder. Spider-Man relents, releasing Joker, and taking him down with a punch, knocking him into unconsciousness. With the defeat of both Carnage and the Joker, both Batman and Spider-Man thank each other, mutely with a handshake. Spider-Man swings off, returning to New York, as Batman watches over Gotham .

Notes

The events of this story occur before dramatic Spider-Man #229.

triviality

Batman refers to Carnage using part of the symbiote to wrap around a body to make anyone think he’s dead is a nod to the “Maximum Carnage affair” as Carnage used this trick in the said story arc.
