Batman: The Killing Joke by Brian
Bolland by Brian Bolland
I Know Why Tim Burton Loves This...
The Killing Joke, one of my favorite Batman stories ever, stirred a bit of
controversy because the story involves the Joker brutally, pointlessly
shooting Commissioner Gordons daughter in the spine. This is a no-holds-
barred take on a truly insane criminal mind, masterfully written by British
comics writer Alan Moore. The art by Brian Bolland is so appealing th at
his depiction of the Joker became a standard and was imitated by many
artists to follow.

Personal Review: Batman: The Killing Joke by Brian Bolland by
Brian Bolland
Alan Moore has this amazing ability to take a simple idea and flip it upside-
down to analyze things for the rest of the world. His work in Watchmen
really brought about a lot of thinking for the reader. To bring so much
reality to his stories makes the reading a million times more worthwhile. If
you read this novel or Watchmen, you WILL want more Alan Moore. His
writing is one of a kind and he is his own dark,unique machine.
The Killing Joke is really an entirely new take on the Joker. Moores
portrayal is absolutely fascinating and I wore the Jokers grin half the time
reading it. I like writers that dont simplify these villains and instead they
write gruesome scemes and elaborate insanity within these characters.
After all, whats the point of a villain if he isnt genuinly threatening. The
Joker in this story is one of the scariest incarnations of him. Seeing this
frighteningly epic story unfold was extremely joyful
Notice I didnt really mention Batman. Batman plays a significant part, but
the Joker really takes the spotlight. If you are looking for a graphic novel
along these lines, then look no further. One of your favorites is waiting to
be read.
