Anthology titles are always a mixed bag, since you have so many different authors contributing, but this book has decidedly more downs than ups. I'm surprised by how many of the authors don't seem to understand the characters, or simply don't write a very well crafted story. I feel like this was a quickly rushed tie-in to the then popularity of the Tim Burton film and it really feels like not much work was put into it.
A must-have for fans of the Clown Prince of Crime! Wonderful stories about the Joker are featured, the best being, in my opinion, 'On A Beautiful Summer's Day, He Was'. That was a most disturbing and spectacularly-written story.
