Batman and the Joker have fought across streets, rooftops, railways and caverns, against horrors beyond of their wildest nightmares. Deep underground, witnesses to an undead wedding from Hell, they finally go up against their bitterest enemies: each other! Can the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime save Commissioner Gordon and Harley Quinn, or will the flames of their reignited rivalry consume all? Find out, detail by bloody detail, in the epic conclusion to Marc Silvestri's dark and brutal Gotham opus. This oversized finale clocks in at 31 beautiful and horrifying story pages.
This series, as a seven issue run, has delivered some of the very best Batman storytelling I've ever read. We've had a unique artistic perspective on Gotham that remains timeless and modern, with Blade Runner like degradation. At the same the narrative has treated us to a disturbing hostage situation wrapped in a mystery. The look at how Batman thinks and rightly keeps to his code when allied with the worst evil in DC Comics is handled perfectly. Read Full Review
Deadly Duo is a story that consistently gave me what I want from a Batman comic without ever pandering to me. It has some influence from classic stories but still feels modern and it's the best drawn book on the stands. If you're a Batman fan, even one tired of the Joker, you're doing yourself a disservice if you haven't read this comic. It shouldn't be too long before the collected edition comes out. Give it a shot! Read Full Review
Silvestri brilliantly blends the unique story with beautifully detailed visuals that perfectly capture the tone of the story and enhance its action. Read Full Review
Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #7 ends a gorgeously-crafted mini-series on a strong note. Batman's challenges are clever, he overcomes them with equal cleverness and grit, and Silvestri's artwork truly is a work of art. Read Full Review
Even though the ending may not have been what I wanted or expected, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo was still a rock-solid story cluttered with creativity and fresh new plot threads. Ultimately, I still feel that its a rock-solid Batman Movie waiting to happen that would certainly be different than what we usually get, however, I just cant shake the disappointment I felt from the final issue. Altogether, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo was pretty darn good. However, as final issues go, I was expecting something more from a story that was on point since issue one. Nevertheless, I highly recommend Batman fans give this series a look especially if theyre looking for something that borderlines horror and provides a different element of eerie mystery to the character thats perfect for Halloween.

Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo #7 is a satisfying conclusion to a series that all Batman fans should read. Silvestris art is worth the price of admission alone, but there are enough cool and fun parts of the story that should appeal to many. DC Black Label is the perfect place for this book. The prestige format is ideal for the art and a regular floppy wouldnt do it justice. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to the world of Gotham, this series offers a fresh and exciting take on the timeless hero that is sure to captivate and thrill audiences of all ages.

A blockbuster finale to what has been an incredible run. In the vein of Batman:Nolor One Dark Knight, Silvestri and Prianto have created a standalone story for the ages. Read Full Review
This story was ultimately about what I expected, but there were a few moments that hinted it could have been more. Read Full Review
It's dated in a sense and because of that, never really rises to reach its full potential. It's not bad, it's just. not great. Read Full Review
Perfection.
I enjoyed this series so much more than I expected to and was very pleasantly surprised with Silvestri's art and writing. The dialgue worked well, the story was engaging, and the dynamic between Joker and Batman was great. Also, I found the Joker genuinely funny which was honestly quite refreshing. Most writers lean towards either super cheesy or super morbid when it comes to Joker's humor, but I thought Silvestri found the sweet spot and made him genuinely hilarious at times.
Overall, this was a fantastic read and it made me hopeful for a continuation at some point in the future. The villain being still out there at the end leaves that as a possibility, so fingers crossed!
Fantastic and successful mini series, great story and art. As a huge bat fan this rocked. Can't wait to get it in trade now. Well done Marc Silvestri, definitely looking like the best batman book of the year.
Probably my least favorite issue but still a phenomenal issue. This series has been fantastic to read and the art is superb.big recommend.
Great art and great writing. One of the best dc black labels out there. Will try to buy this issue
Nothing is saved, neither writing nor art
