This month has curiously a clown theme playing.
The Killing Joke is the definite Joker origin story, although that is ambiguous and multiple choice by nature, haha!
A standalone edition from what I can tell, this comic graphic novel features Batman and Joker, as flashbacks come and go of the Clown Prince of Crime's past loosely based on the 1951 story arc The Man Behind the Red Hood.
As he attempts to drive Jim Gordon insane in order to prove a point, the Joker explains his morality and philosophy towards his arch nemesis, considering the whole world to be a joke, as each situation can be ascertained with humor.
As the art style grips you in, this short plausible background story has been widely accepted as the definite or best origin story for the madman, and I can easily see why.
This is John Carpenter's take on the madman's nature, another short story to behold.
As Joker and his newly found partner called Jeremy are wreaking havoc and causing chaos across the streets of Gotham, they suddenly decide to mock and parody the position of being a hero and what it means to be defined that way.
Cosplaying as Batman and Robin, they bring justice towards criminals such as Condiment King and foil an evil plan of The Enchantress, while the mentally mind broken Jeremy questions reality and his state of being.
While returning home, he gets confronted by his mom being tied up and having a discussion with Joker about him. Going insane, he confronts his former partner, but then gets beaten to defeat in bloody violence, but not before re-uniting emotionally with his mother.
Did the Joker just pull a joyful restoration?
