Joker Related Novels ?

Hey everyone i need a list of all the Batman graphic novels that involve the joker and are a good read ?
Sorry if this question has been asked before but i couldnt find it lol.

Killing Joke (for sure. It actually focuses of him more than Batman)
Dark Knight Returns (he makes a vicious portrayal there)
Hush (gets the crap beaten out of him in a great sequence)
Arkham Asylum (there he's just scary)
Long Halloween (unless you dont like him with about 80 nine-inch long teeth by Tim Sale)

They are the best performances by him, IMO.

The Man who laughs is great too.

Which one is that? Never heard of it.

Im currently reading The Man Whole Laughs and its excellent 🙂.
Im just a very big Joker fan and i want to read as much of his stuff as possible.

Try Knightfall.That was great.Joker teams up with Scarecrow in that to terrorize the city using the mayor.

I didn't like his performance in Knightfall, actually. Not disturbing enough.

He's AWESOME in Knightfall but not great in ADITF. But I think there's one that focuses on Joker tracking down a lkiller for some reason... and I hear Devil's advocate is v.good, Batman has to prove Joker's innocence to save him from the elctric chair!!!

Yeah, I enjoyed Devil's Advocate... though I got a bit bored of it at the end.

Even so, a good read and Joker was perfect in it.

Cool... if you want him to be REAL:LY disturbiing, Dark Knight Returns is your besty bet

try the Batman Murders. the joker kills people and puts them in batsuits. its been about 11 years since ive read it so i couldnt tell u anymore that that. but i do know its worth the read.

its a mystery thriller written by Craig Shaw Gardner. i do remember that.

"A banker, missing for months, finally turns up dead--wearing the unique costume of the Caped Crusader. Three other prominent Gotham City citizens are also missing, and the only clue to their abductor's plot is a calling card--a joker with a bullet hole through it. It's only the beginning of the ultimate prankster's devastating new scheme to destroy the real Batman, even if he's got to spill the blood of everyone in Gotham City to do it. If the Joker succeeds, it will be his greatest gag of all time. But only one very twisted and very dangerous man will be laughing..."

there, I looked it up and found an excerpt. now check it out
🙂

the cover...

That sounds very cool... is it in TPB?

Batman: It's Joker Time is a pretty good read. It's not a novel, but at 3 comics totaling around 50 pages each, it can add up to quite a read. It basically deals with Joker becoming a TV sensation, (don't ask how, it's complicated and you'll have to read it), and he eventually gets his own TV show, where for a few moments he dwells on some possible pasts. A very interesting look into his warped childhood and relationship with his mother too, if in fact it's true. The comics are also a critical look at how the media can make celebrities out of even the worst of people, and how America seems to have an unsatiable hunger for more.

JOKER HAS NO OFFICIAL ORIGIN DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!

True, but I had mentioned that they were possible pasts. Artists and writers have the limited freedom to interpret possible origins all the time. It doesn't have to be official, but at least it can be an interesting story. Such is the case with Wolverine, who for years had comic book writers and artists toying with his origin.

Joker: Last Laugh ....great in my opinion.

I dont think The Batman Murders is in TPB form. its just a novel. it would be kool if it was tho.
