I have to give props to Greg Capullo, because his amazing illustrations left me speechless- it truly is the creepiest Batman art I have ever seen. As for the story arc, I thought it was well-written and clever, albeit way too short. Scott Snyder explores the Batman-Joker relationship in a manner never seen before; less talk, more psychological horror! Overall a satisfying read; good, not great.

This is one of the few graphic novels that was actually fucked up to me, and that actually held a pretty good and meaningful plot. Sometimes, some graphic novels are a little too comical, with very artificial speech, but this one wasn’t. It was fucked up, sure, but it also explored the Batman and Joker’s relationship outside of the fist fighting. I didn’t really understand the end, though, nor the deeper meanings but I knew there was something significant that happened lol.

After reading Batgirl, coming to this answers so many questions.

But dear god, there are so many unanswered. Seriously, someone in the universe tell me where I can find the rest of my unanswered questions about this. What am I missing? Pretty freaking please?

I can't believe how much I am digging this Batman series. I highly suspected my love for Batgirl was already built on my love for strong female characters. But hey, I might actually be able to enjoy comic books.

I mean, not Batwoman, CLEARLY, but whatever.

Snyder puts this right up there with some of the classic Joker stories.

This volume had me gasping for breath. It was so dark and intense. I started deciding what to read based off a random post on Reddit, so this is the first Batman volume I’ve ever read that involved the joker. They recommended that the owl arc was a good starter, because it introduced a wide range of characters and did such a good job of explaining who is as a person. Random Reddit user was so right. I’m absolutely positive. I will never read another Batman comic that transcends this one. The other two volumes were interesting, but this volume has got me hooked on Batman forever.
