Killing joke by Alan Moore

3.0

---

I was somehow disapointed in this comic. I had been told it was the best Batman story, and was expecting a lot out of Alan Moore for I hold him in such high esteem. I quite liked the way the story was told though, the leading plot being sort of mirrored in the Joker's flashback (even though I did not particularly like the Joker's origin story or even the fact that they gave him one. The greatest thing about this character -to me- is how little we actually know about him). But the plot itself felt weak.
I did love the artwork in each panel though. Bolland clearly is a master in is medium and the colorisation was just perfect.

I would recommend this book, if not for its story for the gorgeous panels and the interesting take on Batman and the Jokers dynamic.
