What I am about to talk about kind of goes against my usual "trend". But it is so amazing that I must speak of it. Batman: The Killing Joke written by Alan Moore author of Watchmen, From Hell, V for Vendetta and many more. Accompanied by amazing artist Brian Bolland this is one of the best "comics" I have read. Well at least since Watchmen.
If you are a long time fan of Batman and have never read this series, fucking do it. If you are a new Batman fan (and I know you exist) read this. It gives you somewhat of a sense of why the Joker is the way he is. Of course there is no set reason or cause of the Jokers insanity. But, if there was, I think this would be it. It not only deals with the Jokers history but the relationship between Batman and is greatest foe. The possibility of the only way for this war to end is for the death of either Batman or Joker. I won't give too much away. Just read it.
