It's only 15 years old yet it reads as cartoonishly bad as anything published in the 60's. The first time I think I've ever been disappointed in a Chuck Dixon work.

The story doesn't have a lot of substance but there is good humor and for Joker fans it's a must. Seeing all the "jokerized" villains is really cool, but there isn't a whole lot more to this than just Joker and his cronies vs. Bats and the JLA.. Gave 4 stars but more around a 3.5...

Wow, what a piece of absolute garbage this is. I think this is the worst crossover event I've ever read. One of those rare instances where I'm mad at Goodreads for not offering a way to express zero stars. I hated every minute of this and only finished it because I, like the Joker I guess, am insane.I don't even know where to start. The premise is decent-ish: Joker is told by a doctor that he's dying of a brain tumor, so he decides to orchestrate one last bit of global chaos. From there, everyth...

Though I'm a little unclear on the science of how a whole prison cell can get "Jokerized," I suspend my disbelief. I need to brush up on current superheroes, too. The story often had an asterix saying something like, "see Robin #178." Lots of backstory. But I enjoyed it all the same. I defy you to show me a cooler superhero than Batman. Oh, you think you know one. But you don't. Batman will beat you up if you keep talking like that. So just agree with me now before it's too late.

Batman: The Joker's Last Laugh is a special miniseries that is the core series of a crossover storyline. The Joker learns that he is dying and uses the venom that transformed him into a pasty-faced sociopath with countless other super-villains, ensuring that his legacy of evil will live on. Batman: The Joker's Last Laugh collects all six issues of the 2001 crossover event.Batman: The Joker's Last Laugh is a six-issue limited core series (Joker: Last Laugh #1–6), which has the Joker learns that h...

Though the story isn't the most amazing thing you'll ever read, "Joker's Last Laugh" still stands out because of its inclusion of some pretty great villains and heroes of the DC Universe who don't get as much attention as they should.

Very fun DC crossover, incorporating Joker very well into a science fiction universe full of metahumans. This is the best way to have Batman and co. in a superhero world, in my view. Wasn't always trying to be insanely dark back then, just tons of super-villains doing fighting heroes!Good times

This barely has much to do with Batman, it's more about Oracle and her feelings towards the Joker and her feelings towards Nightwing/Dick. Joker gets cancer and goes on a bender, breaking out of prison and then it just gets ridiculous from there. Too many characters, too much stupidity and over the top stuff. When a Comic is too hard to believe, you know there's a problem. I could barely keep track of all the mutant bad guys and it also didn't help that in every different artist's work, Oracle/B...

Batman: The Joker's Lasts Laugh is a 6-issue miniseries that ran in 2001-2002, written by comic vets Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty and drawn by a host of artists. The premise: The Joker, while incarcerated is told he has an inopperable brain tumor and that his time is short. Driven mad by the thought of dying against his will (can he really be driven any more mad?) the Joker easily breaks out prison, bringing with him a cadre of other baddies - and just for kicks - "jokerizes" them all with his p...

The Joker’s Last Laugh is down there with the likes of Going Sane and Lovers and Madmen as one of the worst Joker books ever. Joker learns he has a fatal brain tumor and, without getting a second opinion or questioning the verdict in any way, decides that if he’s gonna die, he’s gonna take everyone else with him. He organises a prison break (no explanation for why he wasn’t in Arkham) and uses as many supervillains as possible to wreak chaos around the world. So much of this book is contrived

While the art was good, the story was absurd. Joker is diagnosed with a brain tumor so he decides to stage a prison riot--in part by changing the genetics of all the mutant villains so they are "jokerized"--and unleashes havoc across the U.S. We barely see Batman as this is mostly about Oracle wanting to kill Joker and Nightwing trying to calm her down. There are various subplots and a couple neat things, but all in all there was just too much going on for a decent story to be wrung from this m

I think the only reason why this is titled as Batman is because Joker is Batman's villain, but the Bats is not the focus here. If anything, I would say Oracle and Nightwing are carrying this story. But what was annoying about the story was it was incomplete! There are places where it has an * with the note that if you want to 'read more about this battle' read Nightwing issue whatever. What?! Super boo!But there's so much going on and everything just kind of scrapes the surface. The whole prison...

Dumb story + Terrible art = Stupid comic. Finishing this turd has made me a stronger person. Or maybe a dumber person.. I still don't know which.

A lot of potentially-interesting ideas and interplays pretty much wasted in one of those "get everyone and his dog involved in a thin story full of random thunderclaps" efforts that dislocate comic franchises once a year. This is by no means the worst example but it's still thin beer. "Joker's Last Stand" could just as easily been "Doctor Fang Finds A Magic Doodad."

This tale focuses upon Joker in a high security prison with a plan to escape but as Batman predicts there is something even more dastardly involved. We get to see most of the Batman Family as well as some appearances by JLA members. The stakes are raised even more as it becomes apparent that Joker thinks he is dying and wants to have one good laugh that will hurt a ton of people in the process.See Nightwing lose control while fighting the Joker. See Joker manipulate and control other supervillai...

Poorly written, art was horrible...just a piece of trash. Don’t recommend it all,

Too many storylines and characters and the Joker just didn't feel too much like the Joker. It was all very supernatural. Not one of my favorites.

Something of a garbage storyline, this is one of those multi-title crossover events that have gotten too out of hand and unwieldy from both major publishers as they try to boost sales across the board. Without all the tie-in stuff, the storyline hops around and you can sorta-kinda-just understand what's going on in the book, but not in any kind of supercohesive way. What's understandable is fun, but it's all over the map in terms of art style and plot.

I was pretty disappointed with this one. It had the makings of a great graphic novel: Joker with no holds barred, Dinah, Babs, Cass, Steph and Dick working together, Harley not being the Joker's puppet but it didn't deliver. I think it focused too much on what the Jokerized lackeys were doing to undefined victims rather than the man himself, and while the cast was great, no one except Babs and Tim really got enough screen time. I also really didn't like Dick in this one.. SPOILERS follow: He's s...

This was a lot. Joker proved himself as one of the most violent, insane, yet wickedly clever villians in the Batmanverse. The bit that got to me though - obviously Joker would have spun out if he was told he was going to die, not become a freaking choir boy - you'd have to be stupid to not think otherwise. I'm with Batgirl. Kill the bastard. No matter how nobel your intentions, your morals are not more important than another's life and how many died because they couldn't just wipe him out?
