| batman the killing joke: Batman: Year One Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli, 2007-01-10 In 1986, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli produced this groundbreaking reinterpretation of the origin of Batman—who he is, and how he came to be. Sometimes careless and naive, this Dark Knight is far from the flawless vigilante he is today. In his first year on the job, Batman feels his way around a Gotham City far darker than the one he left. His solemn vow to extinguish the town’s criminal element is only half the battle; along with Lieutenant James Gordon, the Dark Knight must also fight a police force more corrupt than the scum in the streets. Batman: Year One stands next to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns on the mantle of greatest Batman graphic novels of all time. Timeless in its appeal, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece would stand apart from the crowded comics field even today. This edition includes the complete graphic novel, a new introduction by writer Frank Miller and a new illustrated afterword by artist David Mazzucchelli. Completing this collection are over 40 pages of never-before-seen developmental material such as character and layout sketches, sample script pages, sketches, and more that pro-vide a glimpse into the making of this contemporary classic. This volume collects Batman #404-407. |

| batman the killing joke: DC Comics novels - Batman: The Court of Owls Greg Cox, 2019-02-19 An original novel pitting Batman against the Court of Owls, a secret society of wealthy families that's controlled Gotham for centuries using murder and money. For generations, an apocryphal cabal has controlled Gotham from the shadows, wielding fear and violence through its undead assassins, the Talons. THE COURT OF OWLS. Dating back centuries, its leaders are men and women of wealth and influence who meet in secrecy, hiding their identities behind stark white masks. Employing science and alchemy, they sought to kill Bruce Wayne who, as Batman, dealt them their greatest defeats. Even then they faded back into the darkness, and he could not eliminate them entirely. Now, Gotham City is plagued with a series of brutal murders in which mutilated bodies are burned almost beyond recognition. Batman and his allies--including Nightwing and Batgirl--quickly realize that the Talons have returned, yet the reason for the killings remains tauntingly unknown. As the heroes seek answers, their path stretches back more than a century. Should the Owls obtain what they seek, it could grant them power that no one could counter. With each moment that passes, more victims appear. Batman must stop the Talons before they kill again. |

| batman the killing joke: Jerusalem Alan Moore, 2018-09-25 Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this “magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic” (Guardian) by Alan Moore—the genre-defying, “groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation” (NPR)—takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake’s eternal holy city in “Moore’s apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony” (Entertainment Weekly). This “brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious” tale from the gutter is “a massive literary achievement for our time—and maybe for all times simultaneously” (Washington Post). |

| batman the killing joke: Bat-manga! , 2008 The two hottest genres in comics gleefully collide head-on, as the most beloved American superhero gets the coolest Japanese manga makeover ever. In 1966, during the height of the first Batman craze, a weekly Japanese manga anthology for boys, Shonen King, licensed the rights to commission its own Batman and Robin stories. A year later, the stories stopped. They were never collected in Japan, and never translated into English. Now, in this gorgeously produced book, hundreds of pages of Batman-manga comics more than four decades old are translated for the first time, appearing alongside stunning photographs of the world's most comprehensive collection of vintage Japanese Batman toys. This is The Dynamic Duo as you've never seen them: with a distinctly Japanese, atomic-age twist as they battle aliens, mutated dinosaurs, and villains who won't stay dead. And as a bonus: Jiro Kuwata, the manga master who originally wrote and drew this material, has given an exclusive interview for our book. More than just a dazzling novelty, Bat-Manga is an invaluable, long-lost chapter in the history of one of the most beloved and timeless figures in comics. |

| batman the killing joke: Madness, Power and Violence in Alan Moore's "Batman: The Killing Joke". Lunatics in Costumes Karissa Anne Tomboko, 2023-01-16 Essay from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,4, , language: English, abstract: Moore’s novel adds a new layer of perspective on the figure of the hero as well as on the villain - and thus blurs the strong contrast between the good and evil sides of both protagonists - resulting in a grey mélange. The picture of Batman which is nowadays portrayed in some graphic novels is extremely different from the two-dimensional superhero a few decades ago, and Moore’s work has its share in the psychological immersion. But how can we understand the major topics of madness, violence, and power which are common in all Batman comics and superhero franchises and especially in Alan Moore’s Batman: The Killing Joke?. This question will be answered over the course of this essay. Every reader of a Batman comic knows that in the end the superhero will finally defeat the bad guys and bring them to justice. Many fans of the series, therefore, claim that the stories in the universe of Batman are not interesting to read because Batman will win, but because of how he will win. Alan Moore’s Batman: The Killing Joke is considered a milestone in the history of comics and graphic novel culture and is often referred to as one of the best graphic novels of all time. What makes the novel more special is that it was actually supposed to be non-canon, but it was so impactful that it was incorporated into the DC Universe. Moore provides the reader with the story of how an average nobody transformed into the villain who is throughout popular culture known as Batman’s greatest foe and the embodiment of chaos and destruction. It is revealed that Joker is the product of a sequence of tragic events that turn a loving and caring husband into a murdering psychopath who wants to hold up the mirror to the world and society. But the story goes way beyond that as it also sheds a light upon the way Batman feels for his opponent, how Barbara Gordon became the mastermind behind Batman’s high-tech and questions the way of how we as readers have to interpret the dazzling figure of the superhero Batman and his actions. |
