This comic is one of the shortest stories that I have ever read, but one of the greatest. Any fan of the Joker needs to own this 46 page piece of art. It's wonderful.

This is a story that I read a lot of reviews about and I saw so many people praising it. I was skeptical about this novel because of the page number. But I proved my skepticism wrong. I had high anticipation and when I finally got it I could not put it down.
The story is about how the joker is trying to prove one thing, and he wants to prove it on Batman's greatest ally, Commissioner Gordon. What he is trying to prove is that one bad day can turn even someone so great into him, that everyone has a breaking point. This is a true legend. It is worth the money for something this great. BUY IT.

I got this book after hearing all about it. Every Joker fan I've encountered has told me that this was the greatest Joker story ever told. I'm a huge fan of the Joker and his character, but I will say I was quite dissapointed.
The story itself, it does have quite a shocking beginning, and it also gives you a look at what the Joker remembers to be his "creation", not only from the physical aspect but from the mental of the evil sadistic genius. Besides that the story is dull...it flat out did not have me entertained.
The artwork is amazing from front to back and is definitly the highlight of this book.
Anyone who's a Joker fan should try and pick one up if they have a collection...as for the casual fan, I suggest trying to find a copy to just read (very short read obviously) and leave it at that.

This is hands-down, one of the best Batman stories ever, however, it is intended for mature audiences, and with good reason. This is a no-holds-barred look into the madness of the Joker, why he became who he is, and his absolute disrespect for life. There are some scenes of partial nudity, a few instances of foul language, and the violence is graphically illustrated.
Alan Moore is truly an outstanding comic book author, but his stories are meant for mature audiences, (see also V for Vendetta, The Watchmen, and Swamp Thing), but all are well worth reading.
The story is entertaining, and provides a fascinating look at how Batman and the Joker are truly alike, different sides of the same coin, as it were, all due to one bad day.
