Book Reviews of Batman: The Killing Joke
Book Review: The Killing Joke
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully drawn. Cleverly written. A timeless classic. Brian Bolland went back and added additional figures to his panels. It would be fun to compare an earlier version of this work to see who the new people are.
Summary of Batman: The Killing Joke
One of the most famous Batman stories of all time is offered for the first time in hardcover in this special twentieth-anniversary edition.This is the unforgettable that forever changed Batman's world, adding a new element of darkness with its unflinching portrayal of The Joker's twisted psyche.
Writer Alan Moore, acclaimed author of WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA, offers his take on the disturbing relationship between The Dark Knight and his greatest foe. The Clown Prince of Crime has never been more ruthless than in this brutal tale.
This special new edition also includes a story written and exquisitely illustrated by Brian Bolland.
The Killing Joke, one of my favorite Batman stories ever, stirred a bit of controversy because the story involves the Joker brutally, pointlessly shooting Commissioner Gordon's daughter in the spine. This is a no-holds-barred take on a truly insane criminal mind, masterfully written by British comics writer Alan Moore. The art by Brian Bolland is so appealing that his depiction of the Joker became a standard and was imitated by many artists to follow.
