Batman: Three Jokers - Geoff Johns
Three identical Jokers commit murders at the same time on camera or in front of witnesses, prompting Batman to work with Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) to try to find out where these extra Jokers came from and which one is the "real" Joker. The art recalls Brian Bolland's work on "The Killing Joke," quite deliberately, I'm sure, while the story itself tries to reconcile the loose ends and recriminations of both that story and "A Death in the Family." It's Johns writing in the vein of Alan Moore, and a terrific story, but in the end not as meaningful as Moore's best works. I will say I quite enjoyed the final pages, an ending which may not be taken as canon by subsequent authors, but to me fits very neatly. [4]
