“Brutal” Joker Returns To Comic Stores

Wondering where to find more The Dark Knight - style Joker now that we ’re twelvemonth off from a continuation ( and Heath Ledger is … unavailable ) ? offense author Brian Azzarello would like to draw your attention to a slight graphic novel he ’s been working on that he predict is “ so ugly – in a good way . ”The book , Joker was originally run to have a much more conversant claim , before corporate synergism send away by to say hello , according to the writer :

Yeah , it was originally call Joker : The Dark Knight but this whole ‘ The Dark Knight ’ flick came along and we kind of flummox out voted . ( laughter ) But that ’s okay - I actually like cry it just Joker .

The 120 - page pictorial novel may be a follow - up to Azzarello ’s Lex Luthor : Man Of Steel serial ( both books have been illustrate by Lee Bermejo ) , but aside from focus on iconic villains , they are n’t too standardized , apparently :

Well , one of the major differences in Joker is that I ’m not telling the story from his point - of - opinion like I did in Lex . Lex is n’t harebrained so you’re able to give him a human race view that I think is relatable . I firmly believe that trying to write from the Joker ’s perspective would be adopt powerfulness away from that character ; part of the top executive of that character is his volatility . Nobody fuck what he is going to do next ; so , if you ’re in his head , you totally take forth the irregular nature of the character . Rather than tell it from his perspective , I choose to state it from the point - of - view of a tough guy who connect his crew - so it ’s someone penny-pinching to Joker ; someone who wants to be like Joker who does n’t really understand what being like the Joker is actually all about … It ’s a brutal Word . I have a repute for writing all kinds of hardcore , violent things . This is the most violent affair I ’ve ever written .

And if you ’re wondering just what reading of the Joker will be starring in the book , then Azzarello is glad to … well , tease , more than contribution :

You know , I really lie with what Frank [ Miller ] did ; but then , you have to consider what Alan Moore did with Killing Joke . Denny O’Neil did some big thing with Joker - I thought Greg Rucka used him really well in Gotham Central … I think that ’s part of the mightiness of that character - there has n’t been a determinate turkey - and that ’s what establish some of these characters so firm ; coming back to them and there ’s always something fresh . reckon at the theatre - that ’s a brand newfangled Joker ! [ And ] if you like that fictional character - you’re gon na know our Good Book . They ’re very , very spookily similar .
