Batman: The Killing Joke Alan Moore
Publisher: DC Comics

It's the book Heath Ledger used to learn the true insanity of Gotham's darkest villain. I've been impatiently awaiting the hardcover printing of BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. Original cover by Brian Bolland; DC 1988. Mister Hope covers Batman: The Killing Joke. It's one of - if not THE - best Batman stories in the last 20years. We see the Joker begin his plan, some hints at the Joker's origin, and then Comissionar Gordon and his daughter, Barbra, are at home, and the doorbell is ringing. With the possible exception of Frank Miller's awesome “The Dark Knight Returns”, “The Killing Joke” is the most celebrated and highly acclaimed graphic novel featuring Batman. €Batman: The Killing Joke” is a one-shot graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland. This having been the only other piece of Alan Moore's writing I've read. Posted by Josh Blair at 12:56 PM · Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook.
