This is a well told story with good artwork. It's not quite as good as Batman: Year One, but I don't think anything is (personally, I prefer Year One to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns). This is a good sequel, and an enjoyable sequel to Y1. Do you need to own it? It's probably worth it... I am glad I bought it.

This book contains two different stories. First a follow up to The Killing Joke that is, for me at least, quiete fantastic. It have the action, element of suspense... you name it, this story have it.
On the other hand, the second story, I wouldn't say is a bad story, but it definably doesn't belong to this book at all. This is called "The Man who Laughs", so I really don't see a point of putting a story with no Joker. The second arc is cleary there just to make a bulkier book. ... Read More

This story is not the world's greatest Joker story, but it is excellent in defining the Joker's first appearance, and is the perfect unofficial follow-up to Matt Wagner's Dark Moon Rising series (Monster Men and Mad Monk, which were actually published soon after this).

Well-done. I also liked the "Knock ... Read More

I still cannot imagine for the life of me why DC Comics published these two Batman stories together in one volume, let alone why the volume was name The Man Who Laughs (other than the title story sharing the same name). I can only wager a guess that when it was published The Dark Knight (the movie) was looming on the horizon and DC Comics wanted to get as much Joker/Batman as they could on the shelves. The two stories contained in this graphic novel include Batman: The Man Who Laughs and Batman: Made ... Read More

Ed Brubaker is amazing. I picked this up only for the name recognition and wasn't let down in any way. The first story of the trade is somewhat of a sequel to Miller's Year One and I actually liked it better. A young version of Batman and Jim Gordon take on the joker for the first time. Classic stuff. The second half is a great murder mystery and involces the golden age Green Lantern, Alan Scott. It was awesome and would love to read another team-up with Bats and GL. Zircher & Mahnke's art was ...
