Many attempts have been made to retell the story of the Joker's first encounter with batman; a story which first appeared in Batman #1, way back in 1940. In 1993, long time Batman writer and editor Dennis O'Neil wrote a story called Images, which appeared in Legends of the Dark Knight #50. The story worked well and stuck closely to the original, where the Joker informes the Police of his intention to murder various people, and inspite of police protection, succeeds any way. It was a simple 40 page ... Read More

despite what some people said about this book i bought it anyway and i am glad i did. I liked this book very much. it was nice to see a new twist on a old tale. some people said that batman calling a hit on the joker was wrong and out of character but he was just starting out and scared because he never faced such evil before and it was overwhelming. not to mention he regretted it later. i recommend this book to every batman fan and people who want to see another spin on the origins of the joker.

I had not heard of this story before I bought it, instead catching a glimpse of it in the bookstore and deciding to give it a chance. I'm a large fan of Batman in general, and I'm always ready to give another adventure a try if it captures my interest.

The only thing I may not have liked was the different art style from the previous Batman Confidential title. However, it was cool to see a different approach to the Jokers origin and how he met Harley Quinn. People say the Killing Joke is the ultimate story of the Jokers origin and it probably is. However, this is still a good read and I think it also shows how Batman made a mistake, because he is human.

To begin I' am also a fan of "The Killing Joke" as well as many other Joker/ Batman titles. I purchased this item due to my interest in the characters and I personally enjoyed it allot. I disagree with many over the art style; I personally find it quite refreshing and different. The art style is very sketchy and unique. This story has been subject to allot of dissatisfaction from die-hard Batman fans due to the hit Batman calls for on the Joker. I found it inconsistent with Batman's character ... Read More
