The Joker: Endgame
The Joker: Endgame - Dustin Nguyen,Scott Snyder,Brenden Fletcher,James Tynion

I actually thought for a moment I was reading Batman: Endgame while I was reading this graphic novel. I blame it on that I read reviews of Batman: Endgame and I could have sworn that Batman: Endgame took up the same stories as this one or similar. And, apparently it did. Frankly that doesn't make me all that keen to read Batman: Endgame since now I have read this one instead and it was well let's say not perfect. At least I didn't find it that good, it got better towards the end when the different stories from different comics (BATMAN ANNUAL #3, back-ups from BATMAN #35-39, GOTHAM ACADEMY: ENDGAME#1, BATGIRL ENDGAME #1, DETECTIVE COMICS: ENDGAME #1, BATMAN AND ROBIN ENDGAME #1, ARKHAM MANOR ENDGAME #1) finally started to make sense and everything was leading towards the grand finale. And, since I have read reviews for Batman: Endgame have I also read what's happened in the end when Batman and Joker finally confront each other. So that wasn't a big surprise or anything.


In the end it got 3 stars because I quite liked the beginning and the last 100 pages, but I found the story to be a bit disjoint in the middle and that made me stop reading the graphic novel for a while because I just found it frankly boring and a bit incomprehensible. One moment there was one story and then it was another comic with another story and then another and then back to the first one and then to another. I did not like that one bit. Thankfully it got better at least.

 

I received this copy from DC Comics through Edelweiss in return for an honest review! Thank you!
