The story is written exceptionally well, but the art is hands breathtaking. Given the history both have with the Joker (Batgirl in The Killing Joke, and Red Hood in Death in the Family), it gives a lot of depth to their motivations in tackling the mystery at hand.Īnd what is that mystery? Well, quite simply: how was the Joker in three places, committing three separate crimes, at the same time? There can’t really be three Jokers… can they? Something that really helps this particular story stand out is that Batman is not alone in tackling this, with Batgirl and Red Hood by his side. So imagine my delight that Batman: Three Jokers not only alluded to that comic several times, but also gave off the same sort of rich story and stunning artwork that Alan Moore and Brian Bolland accomplished in The Killing Joke.īut Three Jokers is so much more than that. Alan Moore is one of my favorite writers, and this is one of those classic books that really defines a character for me.
