The core Batman book is going all in on the Joker this month. Batman #142-144 is publishing weekly instead of monthly to tell a new three-issue story, 'The Joker: Year One', that promises to change what we know about the Clown Prince of Crime - even if writer Chip Zdarsky has stated that the story is not an origin story for the killer clown.
The first issue is out now and while it will likely prove somewhat bewildering to casual Batman readers with its plethora of references and multiple time zones, it digs deep into what makes the character such an eternally fearsome adversary for Bruce Wayne.
