There can be only one! And thankfully that doesn’t mean there’s only one issue left cause Joker the Joker who stopped Jokering or whatever is finally all wrapped up! We have a big showdown involving the two characters and a bunch of their goons and allies by their side. There’s a couple twists and turns…
It’s a bit of a running joke that I’m kind of clueless as to how long the series and mini-series I review end up being. This terrible issue not being the last of its kind like I thought means that it’s become a joke I stopped laughing at. So buckle up for the big confrontation…
So our fellow reviewer Theresa Campagna has given me this unfortunate wreck of a comic to review. I had to catch up and watch as she slowly turned bitter towards what has been an endless barrage of nonsense known as Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I’m all caught up now and would definitely be…
After a disappointing first issue, is there a way to redeem Joker’s Knight Terrors arc? Well yes, but just slightly. The Sketch is a Bit Funnier The first issue of Joker’s nightmare fell flat when it came to the comedy. This sequel chapter, however, has several jokes that work a lot better. Seeing the Joker…
Reading through this Joker series has been a slog so far. The one thing that has been keeping me going is this Knight Terrors book. Why? Because the idea 0f the Joker’s worst nightmare being a 9-5 desk job sounds brilliant! But how does Rosenberg execute this idea? I had high expectations for this book.…
A miracle has happened in this issue of Joker. We get plot progression! It’s not much plot progression. In fact, I could pretty much sum it up in 3 sentences. However, at least we get somewhere. Killer Croc and Joker Throughout this story, we’ve met various Batman rogues who each have a different opinion on who…
I don’t hate this issue of Joker as much as I have the last few issues. There are some good things to glean from it. But if you’re hoping for a lot of plot progression here, after chapter after chapter of this series has gone no where, well you’re out of luck. About Comic Book…
What can you really say about a comic when nothing is happening in it? That’s the question I asked myself when I started this review. Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing is the story of two Jokers. We are supposed to be invested in discovering why there are two Jokers and where the real one…
The Royal Flush Gang decide to abandon Punchline after the ambush by the Gentleman's Club at Port Royal. Meanwhile, Alexis Kaye is alive and in the welcoming company of the Joker. The primary theme of this issue seems to surround Alexis having no one she can trust. Unsurprisingly, Punchline has little to no friends. Luckily,…
I believe that I picked some of the worst books to review here at Batman News. Here we are, six issues into Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing, and we still have absolutely no plot progression. In fact, I’d argue we have plot DIGRESSION. A Story Going Nowhere In the last issue, we discovered that…
Punchline and The Royal Flush Gang go on the offensive against Gotham's crime families. As the war in the city begins to look dire, Punchline releases an unexpected "Ace In The Hole." ba-dum-tiss! The investigation that began in issue #3 finds new legs as Ventura Freemont explores the crime scene. Even though the city moves…
The last time I reviewed an issue of Mathew Rosenberg’s Joker, an unintentional firestorm was started. It was over the back-up story where the Joker appeared to be pregnant after a magic spell went wrong. No, it had nothing to do with “Joker becoming transgender,” as some people tried to make it out to be.…
*Deep Sigh* You know what I miss? The feeling that when I pick up a comic, I might get a good story. Instead, I'm reading Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing, a book that continues to struggle to meet the lowest of my expectations. The good news is, this issue isn't nearly as confusing as…
In the last two issues of Joker, we were introduced to two people claiming to be the real Clown Prince of Crime. One of them professed to have changed his ways, wanting to do good now, while the other was one of the more vicious depictions of the Joker that we’ve seen as of late.…
I was pretty lukewarm in my review for the start of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I don’t feel fatigued by the titular character as others do, but I wasn’t very intrigued by the initial set up for this run either. Will this issue change my mind and give me the exciting twists,…
After being let off the hook by Commissioner Gordon at the end of James Tynion’s run (reading it doesn’t seem to be necessary if you want to pick up this series), the Joker is back in town and he’s got a new, subversive plan to announce to everyone. Most of the plot includes the Joker,…
Several new Bat-books will be joining the already thick roster of Batman titles, and that's without including Harley Quinn. There seems to be as many ways to approach Batman as there are ways to skin a cat. Somehow, much like asking for someone to expound actual cat skinning, the more we ask the less okay with…
