I enjoyed this one! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾

"There are 3". I remember the line from the side issue of the Darkside War. Batman is given ultimate knowledge and he asks about the Joker, the answer is is cryptic. I waited years for this book, I could not be anything other then a Black Label book. I don't know is it is going to be folded into the main continuity or not,it is not what I expected but it is every bit as good as I hoped for.The heroes most affected by the Joker's rampages are not on the trail of the Jokers. Can genius counter mad...

"I just healed your greatest wound. So now I can be your greatest pain. ME!!!" -- JokerLots of other reviewers have dissected and/or taken to task Batman: Three Jokers, but purely for a standalone story intended for mature audiences - which is what DC's Black Label component is known for - I thought this was an exceptionally good volume featuring the 'Bat' family. Drawing on that longstanding psychological trauma affecting Bruce Wayne's Batman (witnessing his parents' murder as a child), Jason T...

Better than it has any right to be.

So is Geoff Johns just going to be a full-time Alan Moore tribute band from here on out what with Doomsday Clock and now this sequel to Batman: The Killing Joke? (Don't get me started on his Green Lantern run and the echoes of Swamp Thing.) He does also bring in elements of Batman: A Death in the Family as Batman teams up with Batgirl and Red Hood -- the two members of the Batman family most traumatized by the Joker in the aforementioned tales -- to find out why there suddenly seem to be three J...

We've all been expecting it and I think the hype is a partial reason for its downfall.Again, it had an interesting concept, and I was actually willing to go with it at first.At the same time, I was a bit skeptical about it, because I wanted to see what would be the conclusion of it.Unfortunately, it ended as a bad joke without a punchline, literally. It also had to take a stab at ruining the famous comic Batman The Killing Joke, and sink along with it.There were just too many stupid things going...

A crime family wiped out, a comedian murdered during a live stream and a trio of corpses dressed to look like the Red Hood, splayed across the grounds of Ace Chemicals - all appear to have been killed by the Joker at the same time. But that’s impossible - how could the Joker have been in three places at once? Unless there are three Jokers: a Criminal, a Comedian, and a Clown. Three vigilantes - Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood - hunt down Joker(s) across three chapters in Three Jokers. Geoff Johns w...

Wait... this comic is actually good? Hold up... GREAT? I am shocked right now!What’s it about?There’s a situation in Gotham where somehow there were 3 different Jokers doing Joker-y things at the same time. Now Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood have to figure out what’s going on, what the big plan is and how to stop the Joker(s)!Why it gets 5-stars:The story is actually good. When just hearing about it, it honestly sounds ridiculous. In fact when I saw all the hype I was just like “Oh my gosh, this s...

I don't know fully what to think of this one. The Joker has always been one of my favorite comic characters, and one of the things I've liked about his is that he constantly re-invents himself without it breaking canon. Depending on the story he can be a harmless prankster, a psychopathic serial killer or a mobster with a twisted sense of humor. All very different, but all fitting.The idea here is that there have been three individuals called the Joker. First the Criminal, the more serious profe...

Jason Fabok draws himself a heckuva Batman. That alone is worth an extra star.

This definitely was not what I was expecting. I do like that this tried to give more context to the Joker, and I do think it was well done (mostly). I think the Jason/Barbara romance wasn’t necessary, but it wasn’t horrible either. I’m not a Dick/Barbara shipper so I don’t really care about that, and I do think that Barbara would be a good influence on Jason following this story, but.... eh, I think she could do that as just a friend.The ending about the Clown Joker’s identity.... I’m not sure t...

After teasing us in Justice League: Darkseid War and DC Rebirth and a 4 year wait, Geoff Johns finally delivers Three Jokers.I went back and reread DC Rebirth so you wouldn't have to. These are the only three panels in DC Rebirth that reference Three Jokers.I love how this begins with Batman getting patched up, focusing in on his many scars and then flashing back to how he got them. Eventually, we move on to the Jokers after similar glimpses into Batgirl and Red Hood. Apparently, the Jokers have...

Meh.Yes, Geoff Johns writing is, as always good, and yes Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson do a very good job with the art.This was supposed to tie it all together, harken back to the brilliant Killing Joke, answer lots of questions, be the next great event that changes DC forever.Shrug.I liked it, don’t get me wrong, any time with the chaotic evil crown prince of crime is going to be fun, and there is Batgirl – yes, and of course Red Hood, and doesn’t Jason Todd have a right to have some anxiety ab...

Interestingly enough, I think that most people found this story to be a little on the basic side; however, I enjoyed it. It's not my favorite story related to the Joker. Everyone pretty much knows that goes to the current title that Tynion is writing; however, Johns explored the Joker in a way that I wasn't anticipating and the art by Fabok really brought the story together. If you didn't know there is a slight reference to Three Jokers in Rebirth. This story is centered around the idea that the...

The Criminal, The Clown, and The Comedian.How many times have you heard that {insert random comic here} will forever change the mythos of {insert random character here}? If you've been reading comics for any amount of time, probably more times than you can count.I think this time around Geoff Johns actually managed to do it. Except for that one incredibly weird plot hole at the end.I can see where this actually helps shore up some of the inconsistencies (if you want to call them that) in the Jok...

I picked this up only because I read great reviews for it. In any other world, I would have just given it a pass, but not only did the premise end up being interesting, but its grandiloquent darkness and fantastic artwork really paid off.I've read the best ones of the series. Killing Joke, Death in the Family. I think this one deserves to inch up there with the others. :)Story-wise, it fills a lot of great plot holes in a sweeping, world-building explanation that feels quite compelling. Three Jo...

It’s uncommon for a comic to change how I feel about a character, yet this happens for me here with Joker. Is it retconning? Sure as hell is. But it gives another dimension to Joker’s pervasiveness. My only real complaint is seeing the Origin for the 1000th time. Ultra violent and beautifully illustrated, Three Jokers is fantastic.

The premise of this one is that there isn't just one Joker but three... and that there has been for years. It's an interesting concept and I think Geoff Johns did a great job of exploring it. The artwork was pretty darned good, too.There was a good dynamic here between Batman, Batgirl and the Red Hood. This was actually my first encounter with the new Red Hood, as the last time I read Batman regularly Jason Todd was still dead. Honestly, I think I'd've rather he stayed dead but the character wor...

6.3/10An interesting and intriguing story but falls a bit short in the end.The art is top notch.

What started out as a promising and superhyped series, crumbles down to a poor joke by the end. The art by Jason Fabok is truly magnificient throughout the series, and the storytelling is great as well, but the problem is in the plot itself.Three Jokers continues from the revelation made years ago in "The Darkseid War" that there are in fact three Jokers. All the hype and build up turns into 'was this story really necessary?' by the end.Three Joker has phenomenal artwork but a dissapointing plot...
