Year One finishes with Gordon mentioning an attack that was going to happen at the hands of a man who calls himself The Joker. The Man Who Laughs picks up from there and I have to say that didn’t enjoy this story as much as Year One. There is still a double narrative, changing perspectives between G...

I wasn't impressed by this book. The artwork is good but the stories left me a bit cold. The first one felt like an almost superficial look into the Joker's reasons and story.
