Thehahahatimes.com is the Joker's parody of Thegothamtimes.com.

Clues

A number of words and phrases were circled:

crime

When the viewer responded to the classified ad correction on pg 2 of The Gotham Times at the address humanresources@whysoserious.com, they were emailed the following:

See you found my little message. So, do you think you have what it takes to be a part of my circle of friends? Are you a backstabbing, self-promoting, ambitious clown who will do anything to prove yourself to me? If so, the first step of your application process awaits...if you know where to look.

The solution to the circled phrases puzzle was discovered, leading to Whysoserious.com/Personalityprofile.

November 30, 2007

A note with the words "THE PERFECT GETAWAY" written on it was added to page 4. This led to the discovery of Whysoserious.com/Theperfectgetaway.

Issue 2

March 28, 2008

Three days after a new issue of The Gotham Times was released, Thehahahatimes.com was updated with a parody of the second edition of the paper.

Clues

As before, there are a number of circled words, dots, and notes taped to the newspaper.

The "I Hate Bees" note is likely an inside joke with 42 Entertainment, since one of their prominent past projects was the "I Love Bees" campaign for the game Halo 2.

The circled words "puzzle" spread throughout the pages can be solved by counting the word's place within its paragraph. For example, 'initial' is the 13th word in the paragraph, so the associated letter would be 'M,' and so on. The result is the following message from the Joker mocking the efforts of those trying to solve the puzzle.

MADE YOU LOOK AGAIN NOTHING HERE RED HERRING SERIOUSLY HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA FALL FOR THIS

The puzzle was eventually found to be little more than a dead end, with the real game continuing with calls to participants with Joker cell phones.

Issue 3

June 23, 2008

Ten days after the third issue of The Gotham Times was released, Thehahahatimes.com was updated with a new spoof.

Clues

As usual, a collection of circled letters are found dispersed through the issue. Combining the letters in order results in:

Herrings are red, corpses are blue, You're on the right track, but you don't have a clue
