Batman: Three Jokers Collected
Thirty years after Batman: The Killing Joke changed comics forever, Batman: Three Jokers
reexamines the myth of who, or what, is the Joker and what is at the heart of his ongoing battle with Batman? New York Times bestselling writer Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok, the team that waged the “Darkseid War†in the pages of Justice League...
3 Jokers representing three different eras (Criminal - early years, Joker is just a gangster. Clown - silver "campy" age. Comedian - modern age, killing joke, new 52 etc) is not something groundbreaking but the idea of creating a new, better Joker from the previous ones is interesting, the search for the perfect Joker.
Having the two Jokers had different plans, don't know if it is a good idea

Batman: Three Jokers #3
The final chapter of the most terrifying and personal Batman mystery is here!
Still reeling from their last encounter with the three Jokers, Batman, Batgirl, and Red Hood discover the terrible truth about the Three Jokers' plot. Will the caped crusaders have the strength needed to put an end to the maniacal menaces' master plan once and for ...
The quality of miniseries is getting better and better.Obviously, Johns takes inspiration from "A Death in the family" but his approach is more psychological.Jason Todd is in the spotlight as it is logical, Barbara a little less but still plays an important role.The two of them become a couple is a little weird but it makes sense in a way.Both of them had a trauma caused by Joker so they can under more

Batman: Three Jokers continues its trajectory as the ultimate examination of The Joker and his never-ending confl...
The idea behind the revelation of Joker's true identity started when Batman became God by taking Mobius chair during Darkseid War, also written by Geoff Johns.
But that matter seems to be more complicated than we thought as we learn that there is not only one Joker but three:
1) The Criminal
2) The Comidian
3) The Clown
In contrast, there are three heroes (Batman, Batgirl,

Lt. Gordon has been learning his way on the streets of Gotham almost in-step with Batman and the two finally start to see eye-to-eye in part four of "BATMAN: YEAR ONE". Can Gordon and Batman work together for the greater good of Gotham City?
Mazzucchelli's art is pure class.He has a classic style which fits perfectly to the tone of the story.
An other classic scene here, where Gotham's Squad chases Batman and then the bats came to the rescue!
Also, Catwoman's 1st "official" appearance :-)
But, Jim Gordon remains the true protagonist of the story.His thoughts about his colleagues, Batman and how things are getting done i

Batman #406
Year One, Part 3: Black Dawn
Batman's nailed down by the Gotham City police in a crumbling building with nowhere to run! It'll take his arsenal of skills to get out of this one while proving he's on the side of justice - but how can he when they're gunning so heavily for him? Plus, Catwoman debuts in part three of "BATMAN: YEAR ONE"!
While Gordon tries to adapt in Gotham and to change the way things are done, Batman makes his first "official" appearance.Miller's unforgettable scenes continuous, this time we have Batman to break into mayor's mansion.
Batman #405
Year One, Part II: War is Declared
Bruce Wayne decides on a haunting guise perfect for feeding on the cowardliness of the criminals he plans on taking down. But it looks like his campaign against crime may be too effective as Gotham's corrupt officials order the police to take The Dark Knight down in part two of "BATMAN:YEAR ONE"!

The city revealed to us through the eyes of Gordon, who thinks that is literally in hell.The other protagonist is inexperienced, still learning but has a plan, thus his first night as crimefighter goes terribly wrong and almost got killed.Frank Miller manages to make a contrast between the two heroes and their perspectives

Batman #404
Year One, Part 1: Who I Am - How I Come to Be
Frank Miller (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Sin City) and David Mazzucchelli (Daredevil) deliver the acclaimed, four-part origin of Batman! Witness Bruce Wayne's transformation into The Dark Knight as he combats his own demons while struggling to topple the corrupt political system infesting his home.
An important action took place, but it still feels like filler issue.Also, the absence of Tony Daniel is a negative factor.
Batman #675
Momentarily freed of the recent drama surrounding the Black Glove and the Replacement Batmen, The Caped Crusader enjoys an evening with his most recent girlfriend, Jezebel Jet. But an attack from the Ten-Eyed Man leads to stunning revelations in this finale to a 4-part storyline!
We get some answers as we see the connection of doctor Hurt with the replacements of Batman but there are still plenty things to come.
Batman #674
Batman learns the tragic story behind the last of the "Batman Replacements!" This tale leads to revelations about Batman's participation in a bizarre isolation experiment years ago, and how involved The Black Glove may have been in his life since his early crime-fighting years!
Only Morrison can write a story like this one.An unexpected continuation for sure.It's special, strange and expands the legend of Batman.It's amazing how a good writer can elevate a story even though the plot moves slowly.
Batman #673
After a recent skirmish, Batman's body lies near death! Meanwhile, his delirious mind travels back to a defining adventure in the life of young Bruce Wayne...the hunt for his parents' killer! And is Bat-Mite actually visiting Batman? Or has insanity finally come to claim The Dark Knight?

Batman and Robin doing some detective work while were trying to solve the murder case.Motives and possible suspects were presented.This is not a simple case as it is linked with the past of club of heroes.
Batman #668
Batman, Robin and the Club of Heroes--Batman-inspired heroes from all over the world--are stuck on an island rigged with elaborate death traps. And as the villain behind it all begins to explain his twisted motives, he continues to pick the heroes off one by one...
Grant Morrison takes an unusual path again, using this time the Club of Heroes.The members are unknown, cheesy and probably don't fit in a mystery story but the whole concept is pretty interesting.The art is gorgeous, J.H. Williams III is great at his job.
Batman #667

Identity Crisis 10th Anniversary
The stunning mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer is back in a new hardcover! When the spouse of a JLA member is brutally murdered, the entire super hero community searches for the killer, fearing their own loved ones may be the next targets.
I don't think anyone could predict this conclusion.It is known that love can make you to do crazy things but the actions here had been a bit over the top.Anyway, this was a special story, written in realistic way and didn't follow the common superhero formula, also constitutes evidence that B-List characters can become interesting and have depth if you treat them right.Everyone played their roles more
Identity Crisis #7
In the finale to one of the most shocking comic book events of all time, the terrifying murderer stands revealed and friendships are betrayed! Some secrets are too massive for some heroes to handle, while other remain in the dark, but one things certain--the DCU will never be the same after this!
An awesome comic which shows that hero's life has a lot of defeats, sadness and it's not so glorious.When the secret was revealed it became clear that heroes are vulnerable, can make mistakes and the things between them are complicated.Of course the end was unexpected.What a twist.
Identity Crisis #6
From the very start, Batman's been on the murder case and sifting through clues. No one knows better what it's like to lose someone you love. He's the World's Greatest Detective, and after the events of this issue, it's even more important than ever for The Dark Knight to prove it...
