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...
I have that one for quite some time now (Art by Lee Bermejo?)...havent gotten around to reading it yet.

Sounds a bit out of league-ish by Joker standards...which is a tad disappointing. And that is bad, cuz I expected a lot from that book.

Maybe its a good thing I havent read it yet.
