This is very (unintentionally) silly but it's also a fun ride, with pretty art.
This is an excellent Batman story.
The story centres around what would happen if The Joker managed to get cured and how it would affect those around him.
It's very clever places and explores the deadly relationship between Batman and The Joker and gives it a new perspective. In addition to this there are some very prescient social comments.
All in all, I really enjoyed this one and is probably one of the best Batman stories in recent years.
The Best Joker Story
I know, I know, there are so many, but it's really that good.
Read it and witness the greatness.
Seriously.
Fascinating character study thrown away for an average action climax
