Batman: The Man Who Laughs and The Killing Joke, by Richard Starkings, Ed Brubaker, Doug Mahnke, Alan Moore, John Higgins, David Baron, Brian Bolland
5.0
Clearly I have read The Killing Joke (it's like a right of passage in the Batman world or something) and I have seen the movie where Batgirl hangs up her cowl and turns the most tragic situation into becoming Oracle, but it never stops being so damn (heartbreakingly) good. My favourite part of this whole story is when Joker says about not remembering his own origin story and how he plays it out differently... gives me chills.
So onto new (to me) content, The Man Who Laughs was fantastic too. I could really hear the Joker's voice in those lines, how his inflection would change with his emotion, it all just felt very true to character, as did the newly appointed Commissioner Gordon.
This is Batman in his finest.
