Stormie’s Review of: The Killing Joke
Monday, September 1st, 2008
“The Killing Joke” is a comic book.
It is an origin story for the Joker character in
Batman comics. The art in it is amazing and each
frame has a lot of meaning to it. There are two
stories going on simultaneously-one in the present
with Batman searching for the Joker, and the other
telling how the Joker came to be.
It is a story that tries to make you feel bad for the
Joker because of what happened in his life. While I
do feel sorry for him, I am fighting that feeling
because of the horrible things that he does. This
story was written very well but almost seemed a little
rushed in the explanation.
Recommended reading? Only if you enjoy Batman AND
comic books.
