I had never read The Killing Joke at this point and the moment I started reading it I fell in love with it, Alan Moore’s story is brilliant and full of depth that explores The Joker’s backstory and shows the readers how strong Jim Gordon is, even after being pushed almost to limit. The cover made me go to the counter and buy it. The front cover was amazing Brian Boland’s art was complemented by the black and white. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight’s closest friends.By Rosswhatever on Twitter I decided to go out and buy The Killing Joke hard cover but while I was searching for it I stumbled upon Batman Noir: The killing Joke, the book stood out on the shelf, it was completely black and white and caught my eye. And he’s going to use Gotham City’s top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he’s out to prove his deranged point.

ALAN MOORE (WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA) and BRIAN BOLLAND (CAMELOT 3000) take on the origin of comics’ greatest super-villain, The Joker-and changes Batman’s world forever.Īccording to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that’s all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Presented in stark black and white, BATMAN NOIR: THE KILLING JOKE collects BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE, “An Innocent Man” story, and a collection of Bolland’s Batman covers.
