Me gusto este libro recuerdo cuando Batman se sube a la silla y obtiene todo el conocimiento en The Darkside War.
A partir de ese cómic se confirman que hay 3 jokers y a partir de allí andaba esperando este libro compuesto por 3 cómics. Esté listo puedo decir que me entretuvo y lo disfruté mucho leyendo y el arte es 10 de 10 , lo recomiendo.

Just wasn’t that impressed. Art was great, but the storyline was lacking. Felt a little forced to get to the end. It would have worked better as a bigger one shot than a three issue mini.

I don't think I'm interested enough in Batman, that's all.

This is an in-continuity story wherein The World's Greatest Detective has failed to notice that there have been multiple Jokers wasndering around the DC Universe for years. I mean, he definitely did know. He didn't know. But he knew. But he didn't know.
Much of the adventure is about the relationship between Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon. And it's ... fine. And if you like it, it continues in the final issue of Batgirl, which also deals with the fallout of Joker War. So Joker War, and Three Jokers is somehow going on at the same time. So ... four Jokers? Many Jokers.
The main problem I have with this story is that its goal is to give us two important pieces of information for the future of Batman, and it that's it. It does those things very ham-fistedly at the very end of the series. It's not that it's terrible writing, Johns is usually very good at his panel-to-panel writing, it's just ... uninspiring, uninteresting, and makes Bruce Wayne look like an even bigger tool than usual but doesn't present it as Bruce Wayns Is A Bigger Tool Than We Thought.
Also, is Alfred dead? Because he appears to be both dead and not dead in this comic, which probably means Johns just made it unclear that he was doing a flashback scene.
From a retailer perspective, this book garnered a ton of attention for the first issue, but by issue three, nobody wanted it. It was a possibly interesting idea executed poorly, which really should be DC's tagline at this point.
If you love Batman and Joker stories, this does attempt to lay new ground for their relationship.
