Ratings and reviews

Joker and the batman actually make a pretty awesome team when they're not trying to kill each other, and watching them run around the world putting up with each other is glorious. And to be homest, i loved how as Batman's inner monologues got more and more delerious, Joker's got more and more... Sane? Clear? Clever? ... The artwork is phenominal, as is the story. Two thumbs up.

Truly demonstrates how Batman and Joker are two sides of the same coin. (Not a Two-face joke)
