"If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice: HA HA HA!"
Excellent. A must read for any Joker fan. It resolves nothing, it asks more questions and only shows that the Joker is truly crazy with a twisted sense of humour but Batman has come to understand, though certainly by no means, accept their fate.

My God what storytelling!! Grey nature of Joker's origin story does the trick. Alan Moore rocks

I love psychology.
I love the idea that Joker and Batman are two sides of the same coin.
I love the ambiguity of Joker's backstory.
I love hating on the animated adaptation.
I love the art style.
I love that DC kept a disabled character in their universe for nearly 30 years.
I love analyzing this comic book.
Solid story, 4/5

A perfect, dark and brutal origin for one of the most famous villains.

MEMORIES CAN BE VILE, REPULSIVE LITTLE BRUTES. LIKE CHILDREN, I SUPPOSE. HAHA.
BUT CAN WE LIVE WITHOUT THEM? MEMORIES ARE WHAT OUR REASON IS BASED UPON. IF WE CAN'T FACE THEM, WE DENY REASON ITSELF!
ALGHOUGH, WHY NOT? WE AREN'T CONTRACTUALLY TIED DOWN TO RATIONALITY!
THERE IS NO SANITY CLAUSE!
