Easily among the top 5 Joker comics ever written
Dark, clever, and memorable. The writing is brilliant, the art - though cartoonish, compared to the newer comics - is a treat to the eyes, and the story makes you think. Easily among the top 5 Joker comics ever written. I recommend getting the hardcover, the quality of the pages is incredible.

The best of the best
The fictions of fiction, Incredible! What a print as well, If you get it around 900 INR it's a steal, ps no money is justified, Art and theatre, pinnacle of a comic book 🖤 This justifies the glories of Joker and Batman and the choices they had to take, redemption, humour, and the only time Joker made Batman laugh. Story of oracle is crazy as well

Good but bit overrated
Hardcover, bit bigger size. Not the best of Allen Moore. Engaging story but very short. Ends abruptly and leave things to imagination. Art is good. Some bonus content at the end.

It's a CLASSIC !!!
You just need it in your collection. Batman and jokers' most amazing tale. Short story with just 60 something pages but its an insane rollercoaster ride with an ambiguous but good ending. Must have if you consider yourself A BATMAN fan.

Absolute bang for buck
The new edition is absolutely amazing. Got it for ₹799 which in my opinion is a fair price in comparison to the older edition which is still selling for as high as ₹999. Also, this has contents from both the old Deluxe as well as Absolute editions and some bonus artwork as well. A must have for collectors in my opinion who don't want to shell out for the Absolute edition but want something that's best of both worlds.

A chilling origin tale and psychological showdown
Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe: DC Black Label Edition presents Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s seminal 1988 graphic novel in a refined format, complete with recolored artwork, bonus content, and a haunting afterword from Bolland himself. The story explores the Joker’s origin—“one bad day” that turned a failed comedian into Gotham’s most terrifying villain—and his attempt to prove that anyone, even Commissioner Gordon, can be driven mad under the right circumstances. Moore’s writing is taut and philosophical, while Bolland’s crisp, expressive linework heightens the emotional and psychological tension throughout. This edition includes a recoloring that shifts away from the original’s surreal palette to a more subdued, realistic tone, which some fans find deepens the story’s psychological impact. The infamous scene involving Barbara Gordon remains a point of debate, raising questions about narrative agency and the use of trauma in storytelling. Despite its controversy, The Killing Joke is widely regarded as a defining moment in Batman lore—an intense meditation on madness, morality, and the blurred line between hero and villain. The deluxe format adds value for collectors and longtime fans, offering a polished presentation of a graphic novel that continues to provoke and resonate

Una joya imprescindible para cualquier fan de Batman
Esta edición de Batman: The Killing Joke es sencillamente espectacular. El guion de Alan Moore y el arte de Brian Bolland siguen siendo una combinación perfecta, con una historia oscura, intensa y psicológicamente brillante que profundiza como pocas en la relación entre Batman y el Joker. La edición deluxe está muy bien cuidada: tapa dura, excelente calidad de impresión y colores que realzan cada viñeta. Leerla en inglés permite disfrutar del tono original de los diálogos, que es una delicia para los fans del cómic. Sin duda, una pieza imprescindible en cualquier colección de DC Black Label o del universo Batman.
