4.0

This is a classic, and it lives up to the hype. I really enjoyed the twists and turns, and wasn't expecting what happened at the end. I love when classics remained unspoiled (although I wish they'd kept the true story as part of the movie. The movie was incrediblely depressing at the end.)

Wow. I wish I read this sooner. 
A brilliant murder mystery that kept me at the edge of my seat. The ending was satisfying and the art was great & stylish.

Truly a must-read for Batman fans.

I believe in Batman.
A classic, riveting superbly compelling comic, even if the very end is a bit disappointing.

the art was very well done because it developed so well with the themes and overall added more feeling and dark undertones to the story(the Joker is pretty terrifying because of his teeth); All the villains are basically people who have gone, in sense, over the edge be it because of greed, lust, obsession, etc.- that’s honestly why it’s so scary because it’s temptations anyone can have every day. It was kind of confusing at some points because you needed a background, but a lot of it came together at the end pretty much
