englentine's The Batman Adventures: Mad Love #1 - Mad Love review

    One very fun non episode of the cartoon

     In this issue,  We find out the origin of Harley Quinn. This is done through a back story. The wrap around the origin is about how she tries to renew the Jokers love for her by killing the Batman. Unfortunately, that is something The Joker wants for himself.
      This is a real classic story. It looks and feels like an episode of the cartoon. This is a very good thing. The writing and dialogue are snappy and sharp. Pual Dini should be involved in all Batman projects. I do not just say that based on this rather strong piece of work, but his entire body of work.
      I do not know why this has not gained the respect of the killing Joke. It is definitely its equal, and in my opinion, it is a bit better than that also. Unlike the Killing Joke, it does not have a bad ending.  Not that it matters in the grand scheme of the world, but it would be nice to get a cool hardcover version of the story. Frankly, and this may be hard to do. If you find this book, get it. You will not be sorry.

      I only have Mad Love for this book 0

      Harley Quinn came from the world of the Batman Adventures animated series and from her popularity she became part of the DCU.  I thank you Paul Dini!  Harley works best with the Joker, I do love her bi-sexual ways, but its sweet when she is with her puddin'.    Mad Love is the best example of the original relationship of The Joker's me first mentality and Harley's everlasting love for him.    What also is nice about this book, it is fairly kid friendly.  There is adult innuendo, but it is very t...
