Subject: Comic Book Nerds... I need some advice. Sat Feb 28, 2015 4:46 pm
I'm looking for some of the best and most despicable potrayals of the Joker in the comics. I found a website where I can buy comic books from, and want some suggestions.
I'd prefer it if it's violent or has dark humor on some level, but it isn't really a prerequisite.

Just do what Mecha does. Go look up comic panels on google image.

@RamboOnRedBull There are so many. Like The Killing Joke, The Man Who Laughs, Death In The Family, and pretty much anything that has to do with The New 52's Joker.

Hmm. I was looking into The Killing Joke, but wasn't sure?

@RamboOnRedBull Give it a shot. It was written by Alan Moore, who also wrote Watchmen.

No don't listen to Mecha. If he tells you to read The Killing Joke don't read it. However, I'm telling you to read it. For violent and dark you'd probably like the New 52 stories Death of The Family and the current Endgame story. I'll be honest, I've only liked the animated interpretation of Joker from BTAS and some comics like Long Halloween or Dark Victory although Joker doesn't play as big as a role in those. But they are my two favourite Batman comics.
Best Batman comics in general
1. Long Halloween 2. Dark Victory 3. Year One 4. Batman and Robin by Grant Morrison 5. Batman Black Mirror (no Joker, but incredibly fucked up)
The Court of Owls is new reader friendly as well and pretty dark

The Joker is WAY more violent in the comics than he is in the animated shows and films.

The Court of Owls is fucking worthless shit. Death of the Family is pretty good for a Joker-Oriented new 52. The Killing Joke is more to add depths to his character.

there's nothing worse than faggots who complain about comics they haven't read. Alan Moore even said it himself, Killing Joke isn't even that great, I actually feel Black Mirror and Court of Owls are much better. Killing Joke just doesn't flow well as a story nor cohesive like most Moore's works. It's overrated as fuck, you cunt.

You can also watch Hannibal if you want some more Joker on screen.

It's true that Alan Moore disowned The Killing Joke. Then again, Alan Moore pretty much disowned everything he has ever written.

@2Sugoi2Die Alan Moore is like the anti-Stan Lee. He hates superheroes and thinks his fans should grow up.

Don't listen to Mecha, he knows nothing.
The comic industry screwed him over, and it left him quite bitter. He hates the big 2 and their fans who buy every superhero comic just because of the characters regardless of the quality of writing.

Lol. Never said Killing Joke was good. Court of Owls is complete garbage, Joker isn't even in it.

He just hates everything. They made movies, and prequel comics to Watchmen that he didn't like. Also says that comics are for 12 year-old boys, his fans are stupid, and he hasn't shaven a single time in his life.
