The Joker killed Batman and threw his body into a river, however he had not died although it took some time for him to recover. Meanwhile, the Joker believes that with the objective accomplished, it is time to do something different. He leaves the criminal world and starts a new life, falls in love and even gets engaged to Rebeca.
As expected, Batman returns and so does the Joker and they have a rather mediocre final encounter in my opinion.
I expected a return of the most aggressive joker or in any case violent against what he loves. That particular sensation that he could suddenly explode had me intrigued until the end but it didn't happen and at the same time it was a relief and a disappointment.
In short, it is a small story and without any expectation other than to entertain.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Really amazing, and interesting to put into a "Dark Knight" context. Super sweet!

Interesting idea, but ultimately the story just ends where it begins, and the reader is left with no further insight to the characters of Batman or the Joker. The colouring is great, though.

Really underrated Legends of the Dark Knight arc. A bit like Batman: White Knight (although admittedly not as good). The art reminded me a lot of Kelley Jones, whom I love. Gotham is dark but playful, almost feeling like a twisted Disneyland.

This wasn't what I was expecting, but I found it really intriguing. It felt a little like an Elseworld story, but that worked well. It's always interesting to tug at the Batman/Joker connection and this brought out some new elements. I actually found myself rooting for the Joker's sane counterpart.
