Batman Confidential, Vol. 2: Lovers and Madmen by Michael Green
2.0
A few years ago, I made a chronology for how to read modern Batman. I was focused quite a bit on creating the order, as opposed to just reading the books for enjoyment, so now I'm going back to see how the chronology holds up.
When I first started reading to make a Batman canon, I found this superior to [b:Batman: The Man Who Laughs|2182780|Batman The Man Who Laughs|Ed Brubaker|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1486038991s/2182780.jpg|2188473] because it delved more into The Joker's origin, and has some fun Easter eggs, even though [a:Denys Cowan|493715|Denys Cowan|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s angular faces and ill-fitting clothes never sat well with me.
I've read much more Batman since the original time I read this, and I'm much happier with [a:Ed Brubaker|37450|Ed Brubaker|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1230612199p2/37450.jpg]'s vague backstory than this specific one. So I'm removing this from what I consider Batman canon.
I recommend it for die-hard Batman fans, and people who simply must know every detail of The Joker's life before he became Batman's nemesis.
