Yeah, read it just a little while ago if so - I hope they throw this one into the continuity rather than standalone.
Ha "rabbit".
That'd be the one.

I dont know...I was actually a bit let down. It was good, but I found their characterization of the Joker to be just a little bit TOO rough. I mean, it's the fuckin' Joker - he doesn't need to binge on pills or alcohol to be crazy!

Plus, they seemed to take most of the comedy out of him...the made him more of a scary drug addict with clown make-up than the Clown Prince of Crime.

I did enjoy it for the most part...I guess my expectations were just too high. Now I just have to go re-read The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum to wash this impostor-Joker out of my head...
