3 Jokers representing three different eras (Criminal - early years, Joker is just a gangster. Clown - silver "campy" age. Comedian - modern age, killing joke, new 52 etc) is not something groundbreaking but the idea of creating a new, better Joker from the previous ones is interesting, the search for the perfect Joker.
Having the two Jokers had different plans, don't know if it is a good idea because they become distinct.It was supposed to have one goal because in the essence they are one, they are the same but I guess you can never trust a Joker.
The two concepts though are very interesting.
The Criminal Joker wants the new Joker to has a deep connection to the Batman, so Joe Chill is the obvious choice.Based on the personality of the Joker and the obsession he has with Batman wanting to do something like that makes a complete sense. more

The quality of miniseries is getting better and better.Obviously, Johns takes inspiration from "A Death in the family" but his approach is more psychological.Jason Todd is in the spotlight as it is logical, Barbara a little less but still plays an important role.The two of them become a couple is a little weird but it makes sense in a way.Both of them had a trauma caused by Joker so they can understand each other.Also, they shared a really heartful and strong moment.Although they developed completely different personalities and handle the situations differently as Batman said correclty.
Jason becoming the new Joker it may seem crazy but is logical.Considering his bad day and all the things that he has done after that, he makes the perfect candidate.
A nice detail is how Jokers refer to the things they had done.It doesn't matter which Joker did which act, the three of them is one, they are the Joker, Joker is an idea. more

The idea behind the revelation of Joker's true identity started when Batman became God by taking Mobius chair during Darkseid War, also written by Geoff Johns.
But that matter seems to be more complicated than we thought as we learn that there is not only one Joker but three:
1) The Criminal
2) The Comidian
3) The Clown
In contrast, there are three heroes (Batman, Batgirl, Red Hood).In my opinion the perfect choices considering what Joker has done to them.
Storywise, I love the first panels where Johns compares the physical wounds of Batman to the Bruce's emotional.
Finally, Jason took his revenge against his Joker (Clown) after all these years.This outcome is not the only important thing though but the interaction the two had also is.Joker actually won by making Jason what it is today, a red hood, a broken man.
The goal of the Jokers is revealed and it is to make a new Joker.(Something they always do?)
Also, the reference to laughing fish is a welcome one :-) more

"You can never escape me.Nothing harms me.I know pain.Sometimes I share it.With someone like you."
Such iconic lines!
Batman finally starts his efforts to clear the city and fight the corruption of the city.
After the kidnapping Gordon knows that he find someone who can trust, an ally and the cooperation between the two men starts.
Miller established characters like Falcone, teased Joker to pave the path for future stories.
Year One defines modern Batman, the character we all know and makes his more grounded and realistic.We see other aspects as Gordon's life and Gotham's society problems.Subjects that never seen before.
Maybe Batman is more in the shadows here but this comic remains his best origin story of the modern era.

Mazzucchelli's art is pure class.He has a classic style which fits perfectly to the tone of the story.
An other classic scene here, where Gotham's Squad chases Batman and then the bats came to the rescue!
Also, Catwoman's 1st "official" appearance :-)
But, Jim Gordon remains the true protagonist of the story.His thoughts about his colleagues, Batman and how things are getting done in Gotham are in the spotlight.Miller doesn't forget to keep his characters humane and that's exaclty what he is doing with Gordon here adding regret, doubts and personal troubles.
more

While Gordon tries to adapt in Gotham and to change the way things are done, Batman makes his first "official" appearance.Miller's unforgettable scenes continuous, this time we have Batman to break into mayor's mansion.

The return of Bruce Wayne and the first days of Jim Gordon at Gotham!
The city revealed to us through the eyes of Gordon, who thinks that is literally in hell.The other protagonist is inexperienced, still learning but has a plan, thus his first night as crimefighter goes terribly wrong and almost got killed.Frank Miller manages to make a contrast between the two heroes and their perspectives and creates one of the most iconic moments of Batman at the end of the issue. more

An important action took place, but it still feels like filler issue.Also, the absence of Tony Daniel is a negative factor.

We get some answers as we see the connection of doctor Hurt with the replacements of Batman but there are still plenty things to come.

Only Morrison can write a story like this one.An unexpected continuation for sure.It's special, strange and expands the legend of Batman.It's amazing how a good writer can elevate a story even though the plot moves slowly.

The third ghost is back.Batman and Gordon are in big trouble.This is Morrison's story so plenty of weird stuff is happening.

Explosive ending!The mystery of Mayhew's island is solved but the Black Glove is still out there.

Batman and Robin doing some detective work while were trying to solve the murder case.Motives and possible suspects were presented.This is not a simple case as it is linked with the past of club of heroes.

Grant Morrison takes an unusual path again, using this time the Club of Heroes.The members are unknown, cheesy and probably don't fit in a mystery story but the whole concept is pretty interesting.The art is gorgeous, J.H. Williams III is great at his job.

I don't think anyone could predict this conclusion.It is known that love can make you to do crazy things but the actions here had been a bit over the top.Anyway, this was a special story, written in realistic way and didn't follow the common superhero formula, also constitutes evidence that B-List characters can become interesting and have depth if you treat them right.Everyone played their roles and had their own journey to cross. more

An awesome comic which shows that hero's life has a lot of defeats, sadness and it's not so glorious.When the secret was revealed it became clear that heroes are vulnerable, can make mistakes and the things between them are complicated.Of course the end was unexpected.What a twist.

That was shocking, too many casualties only in one issue.Meltzer doesn't handle Tim with the classical way but prefers to focus on his family, the relationship with his father and the consequences of crime fighting.Tim proves that is a complex person with personal problems and not just a sidekick.

Part 4 has quality but its pace is slow.

The battle was interesting because Deathstroke took out the heroes using unique strategy to each one.Also, it's positive that the team consisted of less popular characters.The way which Meltzer explains how the identities remain secret is very clever and makes heroes not so innocent.

This story really stands out, it has to do with more serious issues such as punishment and ...other things.It shows that villains can be very threatening.I am just sorry for Eloganted man, he is such a tragic figure.

You can understand from the beginning that aren't going to happen typical superhero stuff here.Author's goal is to humanise the heroes so we feel compassion for them and see that they are real people who face daily problems.It's refreshing to read a comic with pretty much no action and a protagonist who isn't very famous.Elongated man was very likeable and it was nice his wife was a normal person without powers. more

This is Morrison's best work in Batman series.It's a standalone story but many questions were answered.The first part with Damian and the second with the ghosts are finally coming together and the result is incredible.Damian deserves the role of Batman.Maybe he is cruel but he is perfect for such a pessimistic future.At the end, he fights the third ghost and saves Gotham.Damian is an interesting character and I want to see more of him as Dark Knight. more

Although things aren't clear yet, the three ghosts who were former cops seem to have a connection to Batman's past.Only the two have appeared so far and Bruce still doesn't know what's really going on.

A new mysterious chapter begins for Batman which has something to do with the GCPD.The story is very dark due to Andy Kubert's excellent work.

I'm not a fan of this kind of comics.I didn't like this specific format and the art of Van Fleet but the story was good.Basically, it was weird but interesting.

Bruce and Damian are working for the first time together while Talia has her own plans.Talia is now a big player thanks to Morrison.Also, the bat - assassins are really cool.
