    Have fun! I was a bit underwhelming, tbh, but still a must read - most people say it’s a classic. I’m just weird.

      It’s a classic in the sense that it was incredibly influential and original for its time. The serious joker/batman dynamic has been overplayed a lot since then, so reading The Killing Joke feels like more of what we come to expect out of a batman story.

      Yeah, the rare case in which the art is better than Alan Moore’s story. I think even he had admitted that.

    I’ve always thought it was pretty Frank Millar edgy, but I see, and never knew before but it doesn’t surprise me, that it’s Alan Moore so… It makes sense.

    Ah nice, I’ve read it. This is my favorite quote: (spoilers)

    Joker: “Knock knock”

    Batman: “Who’s there?

    J: “Ima”

    B: “Ima who?

    J: “I’m a going to kill you”

    (They made the joker Italian in this one)
