The Man Who Laughs actually contains two separate Batman stories. The first is a direct sequel to Batman: Year One. At the end of Year One, Gordon mentions that an unknown character called the Joker has been making threats against the city.This story picks up right where Year One left off, with Batman and Gordon confronting the Joker for the first time. Unlike the thugs Batman was taking on before, the Joker has no obvious motive for his crimes other than to spread terror and destruction. TheBatman teams up with green lantern .. its interesting but I didnt care much for the story. Plus I never read any of Ed Brubakers work before and he seems like a good writer but writes a lot for marvel and Im not a big fan of them so no thank you.
Reader be warned, The Man Who Laughs is only a small section of this book! It's only 60ish pages and the rest is a boring, stupid comic about Alan Scott who was the original Green Lantern. It's a cheesy character, and the story ("Made of Wood") is tedious and not compelling. Sure Batman is along for the ride, but even his presence can't make this story exciting. Never liked this version of Green Lantern anyway so wasn't really surprised. As far as The Man Who Laughs segment, it's a decent Joker
I don't even know why I like the Joker anymore. Now that first statement is probably the most heinous blasphemous remark I will ever type (and will never type again) as an avid Bat-fan. But I felt the need to confess it because I've been keeping it bottled up inside since...well, since Heath Ledger's outstanding performance in The Dark Knight film. It was only during and after Death of the Family crossover event that I think I became one of those fans who contracted the "Joker fatigue" wherein I
Good story for people that have not read batman obsessively. Short and could have been a bit more comedy, but the art was fun and expressive and nicely coloured.
The Man Who LaughsEd Brubaker gets the Joker. And the funny thing is, this isn't even the modern Joker. He's not dark, gritty, or suicidal. This Joker reaches back to his roots of merry prankster, with gags, a purple suit, and wanting to make people "laugh." This is an origin story. Like Alan Moore's The Killing Joke explained how Joker came to be, The Man Who Laughs explains what he came to be. And it's truly amazing. The story takes place somewhere around Batman Year One and The Killing Joke.
Hmm one more reboot, which is kinda start of Joker but also kinda start of Batman. This one recreates very first encounter between Batman and Joker. This one takes elements from both Batman: Year One and The Killing Joke. Not as good as both of those like others have said but liked it in it's own right. The style was different. And it was fun to read and go back to the crime filled streets of Gotham.Do give this one-shot a chance and then Keep on Reading.I have always loved comics, and I hope
