morgan_haybook 's review for:
Batman: The Killing Joke (Deluxe Edition)
by Alan Moore
Warning: This reviewer has never read Batman before.
So I wasn't expecting the opening pages to be so sentimental. Oh how wonderful, Batman wants to explore his relationships with all his friends/villians/playbuddies. As soon as I expected them to exchange cookie recipes the joker really steps up and becomes the bad ass I was hoping to read about.
Why hasn't there been a movie written about THIS joker? Far more sinister and I didn't mind the sentimental flashbacks. I get the feeling that I am missing many plot threads from other comic books and any geek out there can point out the crap I missed but this book kicked ass on its own. Its a good book to point out to those that don't know Batman (or those who really don't care to) because this book is more about the Joker.
Worth a read, but then you really aren't sacrificing much time to read this one because its so short. Don't bother with the intros and the segment written by the author at the end, their strength is NOT in prose.
