       Batman: The Killing Joke has the definitive origin story of the
       one and only Joker. Everything you have read about this book is
       all true. From Alan Moore's writing to the amazing, and I mean
       AMAZING artwork of Brian Bolland, this is definitely a book to
       have in your personal Library. This Deluxe Edition also sees
       Brian recoloring every page to his specification in how he
       originally saw it in his minds eye. Along with the stunning
       artwork, Brian nails the storytelling and pacing to a T. It's
       just a great piece of work all around. I will refrain from
       revealing any spoilers to readers that have yet to actually read
       this. But I will say this, The Joker leaves his mark, destroying
       the lives of not one, but two prominent characters within Batman
       mythology.
       The only downside to this book is that it's short. Really short.
       Forty-eight pages in all. That's it. But, to make it worth
       buying for those that have the original edition, they have added
       a bonus story centering around a derange fan of Batman, who
       fantasizes about killing Batman. Think along the lines of Mark
       David Chapman if you will and you will get what it's about.
       Highly recommend this to any and all fans of Batman...or Joker
       fans.
