Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #1 brings a new phase in the Batman/Joker relationship to life as a monstrous, unstoppable killer with ties to the Joker forces the perennial enemies to become partners. The story is an above-average Batman tale with solid pacing, plotting, and dialog, but the Batman/Joker relationship forms a little too quickly. Silvestri's artwork, however, is the best its ever been. Read Full Review
I didn't want to get too deep into the story for this first issue because it seems more focused on the basic setup and building atmosphere. It is well done but the art is definitely the star so far. I think it's worth picking up just for that. I'll have to reserve judgment until the next issue to gauge the true quality of the writing. At this point? Big recommend! Read Full Review
Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #1 is exactly what one would expect going into it. Silvestri's art pops and the story itself is interesting enough. It's the tease before the main event and this team-up really gets going. Read Full Review
An art showpiece, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #1brings an authoritarian vibe to Batman, giving it a unique take on the character worth checking out. If you're interested in a macabre depiction of Gotham with a monster suited for the city, you'll likely enjoy this miniseries. Read Full Review
By taking what feels like an unconventional and unsettling pairing and attaching it to a harder, more authoritarian take on Batman and Gotham that Black Label allows, this dense issue both captures a great deal of Batman's noir aspects and pushes the boundaries of what readers expect from both hero and villain.

I wasn't expecting much of this series based on how long it's been since Silvestri wroteor really drewanything, but I have to say this worked a little better for me than I was expecting. Read Full Review
A somewhat interesting story and phenomenal artwork help breathe new life into an old dynamic. Read Full Review
Art is a 10
Writing 9.5. Just because it left me feeling unsatisfied /wanting more (was mainly a set up issue)
Very dark, gritty, and fast-paced comic. Wanted more after I finished it so quickly! Can't wait to see where this mini goes!
A pretty fun and interesting comic. Honestly great art as well. Loving it so far. Great way to read a comic after Halloween
Nice pencils. It's a suitably gritty Batman that holds some promise.
I agree with most of the reviews. Good art, but nothing really happens. One page of Harley and one page of Bullock and the rest is just filler. We are introduced to the monster jokers and he makes a deal with the real joker. That's it. I hope there's more to this.
Great art, but almost everyone is over-hyping this book because it's Marc Silvestri. There isn't much of a story as Silvestri seems to think readers don't know who Batman or the GCPD is and holds their hand with generic narration we've read a million times before. I am looking forward to the next issue because I want the story to actually start.
A very big potential to enter in the gallery of shit Batman comics.
I've been buying these and holding them to the side so that i can binge read them in one sitting.
God, how i hope that the years long wait was worth it!!!
