Batman: Three Jokers

Batman: Three Jokers is everything I hoped for as a lifelong Batman fan. The story dives deep into the Joker’s twisted legacy while giving Bruce, Barbara, and Jason powerful moments of growth and reflection. It’s dark and emotional without feeling overdone, and it raises real questions about identity, pain, and forgiveness. The artwork is absolutely stunning — every panel looks like it could be framed. The pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish, and the ending hit harder than I expected. This isn’t just another Batman vs. Joker tale; it feels meaningful, almost definitive. If you love Batman stories with depth, gorgeous art, and real emotional weight, this is a must-read.

Great story it came in good condition

An absolute blast of a concept carried out without diminishing what we don't know about Mr J. The art direction was on point with some truely wonderfully terrifying joker moments. A tight clean story with plenty left over for fans to poke and pick at.

One of my favourite Joker story. Highly recommended for any Batman fan, especially those who love The Killing Joke, Death in the Family, or Under the Red Hood.

I have lots of comics and this one is by far my favourite.

Don't know why I never heard of this story before, but it's absolutely brilliant. Three incarnations of the Joker meet in a post-Killing Joke continuation where Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood look set to settle their emotional debt to the Joker in a final confrontation. The superb artwork portrays the physical appearance of the characters to reflect their emotional scars - literally and metaphorically. Batman is as pumped and rugged as he has ever been but looks ragged and dishevelled at the same time; Babs is recovered to a state of physical perfection in the tightest costume she's ever had with a frontage that would make Power Girl insecure, but her face is permanently anxious and reflects horror at every turn; while Jason is bristling with violent energy and his fists are the size of hams, dishing out violence and anger while his vulnerability is evident in every frame. Amazing. The story is as rough as the violence, knitting together the traumatic journeys of the protagonists with the immortal psychopathy and ubiquity of the Joker. It's a superb work that I'm glad I finally discovered.

It’s the joker - it’s awesome

Great read. Lots of emotions as is normal with red hood and barb. Batman being batman. A nice story when you have time for a short read.

Cartonato che raccoglie la saga che dovrebbe dipanare il mistero dei 3 Joker. Scritta da Geoff Johns e disegnata da Jason Fabok vede Batman, Red Hood e Batgirl protagonista di una cupissima indagine volta a svelare il mistero dell'esistenza di più Joker. La storia è stata molto criticata negli States ma vale la pena essere letta. Il primo capitolo ammetto che può lasciare spiazzati perché effettivamente si ha l'idea di aver una trama senza capo ne coda, impressione che comincia a svanire nel secondo atto dove il piano dei Joker si mostra in una sequenza degna di un film horror. Il terzo atto chiude la vicenda in modo adrenalinico e spettacolare, per chiudersi con una serie di pagine che sono da antologia mostrando un Batman come non si vedeva da qualche anno. Lo scontro con i Joker è anche una metafora dell'era fumettistiche del personaggio (1 è il clown pre Crisi, il secondo è quello di Killing Joke e "classico", il terzo sembra quello di Azzarello-Bermejo più sulla linea Vertigo-Black Label) quindi assume contorni metafumettistici. Infine vale la pena sottolineare il lavoro fatto da Johns sulla psicologia dei tre protagonisti: -Batman con i suoi silenzi nasconde il peso dei fallimenti del passato -Barbara Gordon vive lo stress post traumatico nato dalle violenze del Joker, la paralisi causata in Killing Joke e velatamente viene richiamato anche il possibile (probabile? a vedere alcune tavole censurate di Brian Bolland) abuso sessuale subito dal Clown nel lavoro di Moore. -Jason Todd viene finalmente spogliato della sua corazza stile Terminator e mostra una psiche fragilissima e un profondo rancore verso Bruce, a causa degli eventi in cui morì per mano di Joker Raramente si è visto un lavoro così fine sulla psicologia del Cavaliere Oscuro e dei suoi alleati. Personalmente è un volume da avere in libreria, sono molto sicuro che negli anni verrà rivalutato meglio di come è stato accolto

Geoff Johns harika bir yazar. Çizimler zaten mükemmel. Hikaye de ortalama üstü. Kalın kapak da var. Amazon’un kargosu da düzgün gönderiyor. Daha ne olsun? Çizgi roman sevenler kesinlikle alıp koleksiyonuna eklemeli.

This was a mind blowing read! A real psychological roller coaster with an amazing storyline. The ending could have been better but overall a must have/read for die hard Batman fans.

Batman: Tres Jokers es una miniserie que redefine el conflicto clásico entre Batman y los aciertos del Joker, explorando una faceta más profunda y perturbadora del personaje. Escrita por Geoff Johns y con arte de Jason Fabok, la serie presenta una trama intrigante y emocional, donde Batman se enfrenta a la existencia de tres versiones del Joker, cada una con su propia historia y significado. Lo que hace especial a esta historia es su enfoque en la psicología de los personajes, especialmente en Batman y sus relaciones con los tripulantes de la locura del Joker. La narrativa es intensa y llena de giros, que mantienen al lector en tensión constante. La atmósfera oscura y los detalles en los ilustraciones contribuyen a crear un ambiente inquietante, al mismo tiempo que reflejan las diferentes facetas del villano más icónico de Gotham. Batman: Tres Jokers no solo es una historia sobre la lucha contra un enemigo, sino también una reflexión sobre la niñez, el trauma y las decisiones que forjan a los personajes. Es una lectura imprescindible para los fanáticos del Caballero de la Noche que buscan una exploración más profunda del villano más impredecible y aterrador de Batman.

This is my first comic purchase in Absolute format; I have online DC comic subscription and started reading this story on my tablet; first few pages in I thought, maybe I should try getting a physical copy - the story seemed interesting enough; and now that I have finished reading it, the first thing I am doing is posting this review; apologies for all this rambling but I just want to say that Absolute Format is the best way to experience a comic back; you can stream a movie on your cellphone or you can watch it on a widescreen theater; for those who have already have absolute editions, you know what you are getting...stunning artwork in oversized pages and bonus content; its makes reading the comic book a memorable experience and what's life if not a collection of experiences. The story is kind of one and done; it helps if you have read the Killing joke and maybe Death in the Family but I have read the former and not the latter and it is still an enjoyable read for someone starting out reading DC comics; the artwork is simply amazing and I love how Batman is portrayed; the take on his physical scars and emotional tragedy at the start of this book is something which batman fans are gonna remember long after reading; this book is a keeper and plan to revisit it; doing my research on collectibles it seems that once these books go out of print they are available for a much higher price on secondary market so would recommend Batman fans and also Joker fans (coz this is an equally good joker story) out there to get a copy with the great current discount on the cover price; I have ordered a few more DC absolutes and would be reviewing them soon. Thanks for your time in reading this review
