Fun, fun, fun! Five stories - introduced by the Joker Tales-From-the-Crypt style, each one focusing on one of Gotham's most heinous baddies. Looking forward to reading volume 2 next.
An uneven collection of Joker stories that are full of the same tired storylines we've heard dozens of times before. The art is decent and varied, but it's just not that memorable.

Mixed bag anthology starring Batman's Rogues Gallery.
The Penguin, Joker, Poison Ivy, and Clayface had the best stories. I was especially impressed by the game show nightmare tale "The Joker's Mild" and the great Clayface cult story "Mudnight Madness", the latter featuring some gorgeous gothic artwork by comic king Kelley Jones.

Oooh, this is a fun one. Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt concept meets the Batman world, the mien of which lends itself well to anthology horror. Joker is the Cryptkeeper guiding us through five stories featuring five notorious Batman villains (Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Two-Face). These stories are nasty and not about Batman saving the day. Each story is done by a different artist and different writer in a different style, and I just loved it. More, now, again.
Nice little collection of shorts featuring Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two Face, Penguin, and Joker. It's narrated Tales of the Crypt style by Joker himself. There are some morals in there somewhere but really it's a decent break from the usual time/emotional investment in a Batman story arc. I enjoyed it.
Brilliant stories. I especially enjoyed Joker and Penguin's stories. They were amazing. Scarecrow and Poison Ivy were great too.
This isn't really a Batman comic it's more of a Rogue's Gallery comic and I'm okay with that. Sure Batman makes an appearance or two but he isn't the star. The structure for this comic was fresh and fun, the Joker broke the fourth wall and spoke directly to the reader, the subsequent stories were narrated by the Joker in a sort of homage to TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Each story featured a different villain (The Joker, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, the Scarecrow, and Two Face)and the Joker closed each story with a moral.
Each tale was written and illustrated by a different author giving this themed anthology a lot of diversity. I think the strongest stories were the first and the last, "The Joker's Wild" and "Two Face Two", both of these stories were incredibly suspenseful and the outcomes were unexpected.
While origins are some what rehashed in a few like "Deflowered" and slightly in "He who Laughs Last" these are for the most part just one off stories not meant to add or detract anything from the canon of Gotham City.
This book was dark, violent, interactive, suspenseful, thrilling, chilling, and eerie.
The art was a mixed bag none of it really being spectacular.
