Then hes back the next time, no worse for the wear. Yet even then, the Joker is never really gone. He tends to haunt and taunt Batman in one way or another via his violent legacy....

Star Trek: Enterprise and the Importance of Its Characters

In any entertainment franchise, prequels can be tricky. (Just askStar Trek: Discovery.) Soong wanted to show that despite the Eugenics War not all genetically engineered humans would be terrible like Khan. The result led to him teaming up with the Enterprise crew to stop his Augments from starting a war. This may partly be due to the great acting ofStar Trekveteran J.G.
