 - If you're a fan of the Joker, you'll LOVE it!!!This is definately a graphic novel worth purchasing. The art is wonderfully done, and the story leaps off of the page. Joker origins have been done before, but never as beautifully as this one. If you consider yourself a Batman fan, then this is a product that you'll want to have in your collection forever! Rating: - Joker RulesThe Joker is by far my favorite villan. I love this take on him and love the artwork. Rating: - JokerliciousOne of the best graphic novels of all time. I Had to purchase it again after giving it away as a gift. The artwork is superb, as is the story. I recommend the hardcover edition for the collectors. Rating: - Nutshell review from a nutcase. *Spoiler warning for plot content*This is a simple, to-the-point review of what happens in this comic book. Tagged for SPOILERS because it is the story in a nutshell, hence the title of this review. Batman goes to visit Joker in Arkham Asylum but it isn't really Joker so Batman is MAD and ANGRY and Joker buys a circus and has some flashbacks and shoots Barbara and steals an old man and has creepy circus midgets be mean to him and then Batman comes and he and Joker fight so Joker makes sad puppy eyes but they fight some more and then Batman wants to make everything better so Joker tells a joke and it's funny and they laugh THE END. I don't normally write such long, gramatically incorrect sentances like this, but I honestly couldn't think of a better way to express my glee. This is a beautiful comic to read over and over, and not just for the artwork. The writing is well thought-out, and while it does have some classic comic book clichés, they don't jump off the page and stab you in the face - and they aren't overused. I'd definitely recommend it to Batman and Joker fans alike. Rating:  - An amazing Graphic Novel!Now that everyone has seen the Dark Knight, Twice. For those interested in comics I would recommend checking the graphic novel out. It is a look inside the mind of the joker. Crazy, demented and twisted mind. This is not a comic for kids. It is more adult oriented and shows how a real joker would react in a world like Gotham. It is a good launching pad for understanding or at least getting an idea for what Heath Ledger portrayed in his performance in The Dark Knight. All in all if you're a huge comic fan you probably already have this, if you're just getting into or want something related to a comic movie this is a good start.
