    Ooh Im surprised this hasn't been posted yet. Hehe that means I get to do it :)
    Im sure you've all heard about the new joker comic by brian azzarello, available oct 29th.
    There's a piece featuring on myspace.
    I for one am excited, the artwork by Lee Bermejo looks incredible. From what I can tell it really captures Gotham city's dark and gritty essence not to mention gothams inhabitants.


    So I think the consensus is that riddler looks cracked out, but harls looks good:

    Looks cool. Is it supposed to be in spirit of The Dark knight movie? Maybe they're fishing around for Batman Begins 3 with these more realistic looking interpretations of the villains.

    actually if you go back and read the lex luthor mini Lee Bermejo drew he drew the joker the same way in that and it was done back in 2004

    I'm guessing this was an early sketch for the book?

    It's pretty damn good. A totally different take on pretty much everyone. Harley's a stripper who says practically nothing (or nothing at all, can't remember) during the whole book. She doesn't adore Mr. J like usually and it seems Joker's actually the dependant one in the relationship (the crying witnessed by Frost is something that would never happen in the actual continuity).

    I just bought a HC copy yesteday; so far, from in-depth reviews, it looks fantastic. The only iffy part I find with it is how he redesigned The Riddler as a pimp with a gimpy leg. =/ But that's just my two cents.

    The Joker cried in it, the Joker never cries!

    Do the mouth scars qualify the story as an Otherworlds book?

    so far one of my fave joker books but the collection is summed up as follows:
    -the killing joke
    -the joker
    -mad love
    -joker's asylum: the joker

    Not just that.

    Harley being a stripper, Batman allowing the Joker to kill members of the underworld (it seems he turned a blind eye), Croc is a big negro man with no animalistic qualities, the Joker cries on Harley's lap, Harley's silent, Joker and Harl use drugs.. It's Otherworld all right.

    I think of it strictly as a sequal to the movie, can't see it tieing-in with anything else. Becides, Harley already told the Riddler that she & the Joker were through, so why would she still be hanging out with him? & the Joker cried; something he only does when his teeth are bashed in by angry redheads wilding pipes......say, isn't he Barbara Gordon's arch nemesis as well? He should show up more often in Birds of Prey.

    & yes, the Riddler DID look like a crackwhore in this comic. lol.
