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.

- Must Buy This Book
You must buy it for the artwork. It the most beautiful artwork I ever seen in a Batman book. I read a review here saying the recoloring in this book is bad. This reviewer is so wrong. Recoloring this book is the best thing that ever happened! I literally compare the original with this book side by side before I made the purchase and it is night and day! In this book, Brian Bolland, joins among the great Batman artists such as Jim Lee and Neal Adams. Spectacular artwork, extremely clean and ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty good comic, but like The Dark Knight, it needed more Joker!
Joker is my favorite villain of all time. I have wanted to get this comic for ages. The whole story line of how he came to be the Joker seemed rushed and the whole insanity saga with Commissioner Gordon played out like the boat scene in the Dark Knight...long, boring, and making no sense at all. Also, the Joker just needed to be in the comic more being crazy as a loon and doing what the Joker does...much like the Joker needed to be in the Dark Knight A LOT more. But the comic ends with a great ... Read More

- Short and Sharp
Great story that add's to the Joker Mythos - not sure if it's a good "origin" tale, but love Brian Bolland's art - the redone colours do the art full justice. A great read

- The Killing Joke is the Killer Graphic Novel
One of the best Batman stories ever by one of the greatest writters in the medium. Also, amazing drawings by Bolland. Simply sensational. And if you're a collector, llok for the special edition with collectible figurines.
Rating: - The Joke's on Me
Amazon recently recommended that I purchase The Killing Joke based on my new addiction to comic books and graphic novels. (I've also only recently gotten into video games and other things that I think that I was supposed to start liking a long long time ago...Can you say: "mid-life crisis?"
Anyway, how timely I thought, of this Killing Joke recommendation by Amazon....A "new" Batman versus Joker story that is as "Dark" as the Nolan Brothers' most recent Batman films (Batman Begins & (The ... Read More
