Al principio tenía cierto repele por la idea de los "Tres Jokers" porque creía que le restaría misterio y complejidad al personaje (después de todo, esos dos aspectos son los que lo hacen tan único) pero en realidad hace todo lo contrario: enreda mucho más los cables. A pesar de esto, la historia tiene una resolución muy satisfactoria (desde mi punto de vista) que se concentra más que nada en el Joker como concepto. Sin duda es una historia interesante y el arte la complementa de maravilla, el manejo de las sombras y la luz es excelente.

PD. Red Hood y Batgirl fueron los protagonistas perfectos junto con Batman. Sus interacciones son de lo que más disfruté de la historia y de verdad me gustaría ver algún tipo de continuación (aunque tampoco siento que haga falta).

I am FAR from being a fan of the Joker, and never found anything about the character particularly interesting, but I thought "The Three Jokers" was a really solid and even gripping story. The idea of there being multiple Jokers and not a single, constant entity is quite creative, and it really feels like each of these main 3 are well thought-out and distinctly motivated, which makes the story seem even more delightfully chaotic and unpredictable. I read "The Killing Joke" a couple months back (and liked essentially nothing about it) so seeing that big plot twist at the very end was a bit of a jaw dropper. The art is also enjoyable, and while I don't really care for those big, exaggerated drawings of rippling superhero muscles and unrealistic boobs (poor Barbara), the art was still dynamic and had wonderful paneling. Finally, Batman's personal journey in this volume is one of the best yet - seeing him get closure with Chill and have to come face to face with those emotions was touching, and I was so happy to see it end how it did.
There are still some aspects that could have used improvement (the "romance" is forced and sucks, Barbara's unrealistic recovery time, the somewhat confusing Red Hood drama) but overall I think this was very well done, and one of the best Batman graphic novels yet.

My main problem with this is I cannot buy for one second the Joker would ever be okay working with others and taking orders from them. Maybe the Criminal Joker yes, but once the Comedian was made I place all bets on him instantly killing them. Not playing the long game. Also, Jason's little lovesick puppy act with Barbara got old and weird real quickly.

Didn't care for the Barbara Jason thing.
I liked the exploration of trauma with Batman, Jason and Barbara.
The resolution was really great.
