The Joker holds the people at a fair hostage and Batman punches his way to free them. Been there, done that. Still, there's a familiarity in the way this is written that makes it timeless and thoroughly enjoyable, it's a breath of fresh air to an old concept and I couldn't be more into it, except maybe if the issue had had some tiny bit of any kind of inclusion. Writers should really ask themselves if their scripts and manuscripts couldn't benefit from a little less white straight men.

A nice throwback comic to the silver age where there wasn't so many crises and events and it was just the hero vs the villain! Art by Doug Mahnke is mindblowing with some cool throwbacks to Killing Joke!

Pretty simple story of Batman taking down Joker. Nothing special
Chad Bunch –
Not the best Joker story ever, but still pretty fun....

Peter J. Tomasi had a weak beginning in Detective Comics with two sadly forgettable arcs. However, he is returning Batman's cradle to its former glory piece by piece. This issue was a great read, having The Joker and Batman we know and love after the hell known as New 52. Peter J. Tomasi had a weak beginning in Detective Comics with two sadly forgettable arcs.

Solid Joker issue I think what made this issue so good was the going back to basics with the Joker, a murderous, funny evil clown instead of just murderous, had a more pre-52 feel which I love because I'm not a fan of 52 Batman comics and the art was great in this issue.

I like the approach Tomasi is taking with these comics. It is easier to jump in with adventures lasting an issue or two and there is a sense of the pulps as bats and the joker square off. You can hear Prince in the background on this one.
