Book Reviews of Batman: The Man Who Laughs
Book Review: A Good Re-Telling Of An Old Joker Tale
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm surprised that none of the reviewers seemed to recognize that this is a re-telling of one of the first Joker stories ever told. "Batman vs. The Joker" (Batman #1, 1940). In the original story The Joker kills the rich men to enforce a shakedown of other rich men. Here, his sociopathy is more apparent because he's killing for killing's sake. I like what they've done with it.
The bonus Alan Scott/Green Lantern story is truly great!
