"outstanding story"

the story was outstanding and the art work was great... being a big fan of the batman and the joker.. this story was one i missed 5 years ago, but thanks to Amazon .com i bought a copy of this great story.

Man who laughs.

Fantastic book that shows the beginning relationship between Batman and the Joker. I enjoy how it shows just how twisted and insane the Joker is. Overall a great read. Fantastic art too.

the joker is insane!

the joker is insane! it was cool getting to read the first encounter with batman. not as good as "the killing joke", but still awesome

Just another Joker tale

I am a bit surprised at the number of positive reviews that this story receives. Much of this can probably be attributed to Ed Brubaker's name being attached to it. This tale is supposed to be somewhat of an origin story for the Joker, but in this case that is due mainly to its' taking place in the early days of Batman's career than to any fresh new insight into his beginning. The plot is generic and the characterization is no different from anything that we have seen before. I admit that when you are writing about a villain who has made more appearances in comics than most heroes that this can be a difficult task, but as readers it is what we expect. Joker stories obviously sell well or else they would not keep publishing them, so the trick is to not be redundant. It does not succeed here. When all is said and done, this is just another Joker yarn, with nothing original or exceptional added to the mythos in order to elevate it above the rest.
