Batman: The Killing Joke — The Punch Line is a Killer

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Joker transcends insanity and Moore transforms the Clown Prince of Crime into a three-dimensional irredeemable human being. He's just frightening no matter what he does.
Review: The Joker is, perhaps, the Batman's most twisted and insane villain. It's easy to understand the motives of the Penguin, the Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face and the rest of the lot as they always follow some sort of pattern in their methods towards...

The first time I read this, I was actually sickened.

Date of Review:  Mar 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: Not always easy to read because of the content, but life isn't always easy to LIVE because of the content...
Review: I just re-read "The Killing Joke", Alan Moore's seminal work about the struggle between Batman and the Joker, and the suffering on both sides as a result of that struggle. First published in 1988, it was one of a wave of Graphic Novels (AKA higher...

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: One of the most intriguing stories in the Batman library. A must read for anyone interested in the character of The Joker.
Review: With the recent release of this years superb summer blockbuster The Dark Knight I decided it was fast time for me to look back into some of the comics that influenced it. My first stop was The Killing Joke as it is the book quoted by both Jack...

Have you heard this one? It's a Killer! The Killing Joke

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2008
The Bottom Line: This Book changed the face of comics and took them all the way to Adult art form. Check out the seeds of Heath Ledger's final role.
Review: The Killing Joke Written by Alan Moore. Art by Brian Bolland. Characters created by Bob Kane.

When Bob Kane created The Batman in 1939 Organized Crime was still a focus of the American Psyche. Al Capone was in prison, John Dillinger dead,...

Batman: The Killing Joke, by Alan Moore/Brian Bolland

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: "That's what a dose of reality does for you . . . Never touch the stuff myself, you understand. Find it gets in the way of the hallucinations." --The Joker.
Review: 1988 wasn't the start of it, but that year definitely had a hand in it. The "it" was the development of comics beyond the super-hero funny books. These new books were mature, graphic, and in the end, important--at least as far as the growth of...

LAUGH CLOWN! LAUGH! BEST JOKER STORY EVER TOLD!

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: MOORE'S WRITING, BOLLAND'S ART, BATMAN'S COOLNESS, JOKER'S EVIL! YOU DO NOT GET BETTER THAN THAT!
Review: If there's a singular book that slapped the comic industry across the mouth and forced it to grow up, BATMAN/THE KLLING JOKE gets my vote. A one shot graphic novel from one of the all time greatest writers in the field Alan Moore combined with one...

Alan Moore tackles the Dark Knight.

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2000
Review: The Dark Knight has been rarely seen in a darker setting than what Allan Moore has reserved for this brooding tale of desperation and insanity. Set right after the time of the Joker's escape from Arkham Asylum, the absolutely deranged villain seeks...

The Killing Joke: One of the Best

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: One of the best comic book tales ever written. It will make you feel compassin for a remorseless serial killer.
Review: Are we insane? Or are the mad ones perfectly normal. What does it take for the sanest man to crack? Not much thinks the Joker, and he intends to prove it.
In Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, we are seeing two of pop-culture's most recognizable...
