  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? N/A
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I find the plot very interesting, but it felt like it was too fast paced and too much going on in the short span of this series. I couldn’t really follow what was happening, could be because ADHD but I think it’s more-so the writing. I still enjoyed it art wise and the dialogue/moments between Batman and Joker are cool.

Even though I didn't enjoy the artwork and some parts of the story, I couldn't help but love all the Batjokes moments. I loved seeing these two working together. Gimme moreee!

I'll always love stories about Batman and Joker working together, they're rare and I'll never get tired of them. (WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU, DEADLY DUO? I'M STILL WAITING.) Wish it was longer but I always feel that way about Batman/Joker stories, I don't ever want them to end.

I liked the twist that they had the antidote all along in each other's blood. Bane wasn't lying, they really did need each other.

I never thought it would end like this. Him. Me. Our blood, on each other's lips.
AYYYYYYYO

The page that launched a thousand ships:
"Heh heh heh—You wouldn't happen to have a spoonful of sugar on you...? SLUUURP Hmm... you're delicious..."
"I'll try not to throw up."


Page 3 of the transcript in the director's cut issue:
Two shot. Batman and Joker face each other. One's serious just as the other one's having the time of his life. Both are bloodied and look seriously weakened for reasons (the virus) we don't know yet. They look ready to either kiss or strangle each other with passion.
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over...

Loved it. Give me more shit like this, please.

The art in this story was fantastic. The story.. not so much.

Kind of a let down but its hard to rate a story any higher than two stars when the story, dialogue, and narration is crap. The art is really pretty though, if a little hard to follow at times.

Underrated Batman comic series, this was super fun to read and a whole different topic different than other Batman comics, I really liked the illustrations a lot it gave a certain type of vibe, I find it super cool and interesting about Batman teaming up with Joker, such a fun and a quick comic book to read, I read it in 1 day I opened it and had to see what happens.

Interesante el tour por Europa y ver trabajar juntos a Batman y Joker, pero todo lo demás no tenía sentido.
Dibujo casi incomprensible y resolución del misterio insatisfactoria.

2020 means I rehash all my old loves, Batman being one of them, and this self contained adventure was perfect for that.
The art was wonderful, the pacing a bit rushed, but still enjoyable, and this Joker was hilarious (and a fashion icon, I mean...)

A deception for the last issue of this series. It has started real strong but slowly loose it punch and the story doesn't really go anywhere at the end. I was hoping for something more original. Not a bad series, but not the ending I was waiting for...
