A remake on the first encounter Batman has with the Joker. A fun and enjoyable story however, somewhat juvenile. ( )

Nowhere nearly as cool as I wanted it to be. At the risk of giving too much away, the motivation behind the Joker's crime spree kinda ruined it for me -- revenge is so remarkably . . . plebian. Solid storytelling, great art, and a commendable effort to bring the Joker's first appearance in sync with continuity, but it just didn't work for me. ( )

I think Ed Brubaker is one of the best writers in comics. However, this story is a rather underwhelming, slightly juvenile sequel to Alan Moore's wonderful, meritorious "The Killing Joke." ( )

Book description
Haiku summary

No descriptions found.

"Even at the very beginning of his crime-fighting career, the Batman has already seen plenty of humaninty's dark side-- but it's nothing compared to what is about to emerge, giggling, from the shadows: a grinning, chalk-faced figure whose madness threatens to overwhelm everything that stands in its way. For Gotham City's new defender, this first encounter with the creature called the Joker will be the ultimate trial by fire-- a battle that will define his long struggle against the forces of chaos and insanity. Years later, those same forces will erupt again from a wholly unexpected direction-- and ghosts of the past, both good and evil, will have to face the harsh light of inquiry before they can finally rest" -- p. [4] of cover.… (more)
