Batman Killing Joke

Description

A New York Times best-seller Presented for the first time with stark, stunning
new coloring by Bolland, Batman: The Killing Joke is Alan Moore’s
unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line between sanity and insanity,
heroism and villainy, comedy and tragedy. According to the grinning engine of
madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that’s all that separates the sane from
the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he’s out
to prove his deranged point. And he’s going to use Gotham City’s top cop,
Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to
do it. Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror
claims two of the Dark Knight’s closest friends. Can he finally put an end to
the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it
leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown
Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates
Batman’s nobility and The Joker’s insanity snap once and for all? Legendary
writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with Watchmen and V for Vendetta.
In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of comics’ greatest super-
villain, The Joker&;and changes Batman’s world forever. Stunningly
illustrated, Batman: The Killing Joke, The Deluxe Edition has been lushly re-
colored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this modern
classic for the first time. Read more
