All flashy, colourful pictures of lasers and explosions, no story to back up the premise, strong though it may be. Not really my kind of Batman.

Didn't love. I like all the parts with the Bat-clan but the Joker scenes were jumbled and not terribly interesting.

Violent.
This is Joker in his rawest state, facing his own mortality - everyone is going down with him.
I'm with Babs and Nightwing though kill the bustard.
Morals do not stand against hundreds of dead souls.

I think the only reason why this is titled as Batman is because Joker is Batman's villain, but the Bats is not the focus here. If anything, I would say Oracle and Nightwing are carrying this story. But what was annoying about the story was it was incomplete! There are places where it has an * with the note that if you want to 'read more about this battle' read Nightwing issue whatever. What?! Super boo!
But there's so much going on and everything just kind of scrapes the surface. The whole prison break is so full of sci-speak that I found myself literally nodding off. The villains are easily dispatched when members of the JLA and the rest of the Bat-family step in. The art is good, but again a little too cartoony for me. If you want to read a good Joker story I suggest The Killing Joke, but the part with Harley Quinn did crack me up!

Nothing made sense and nothing mattered, which actually sounds like a good description for Joker story. Too bad it sucked.
