Joker 80th Anniversary special

[SixSpeedSamurai]

I found this rather meh, the classic covers were nice though. We got a sorta origin for Punchline. Some of the art was pretty bad imho, made it hard to read a few of the stories.

Robin 80th was a lot better.

[Hatut Zeraze]

Yeah. Same here.

I think anymore modern Joker's over-the-top brutality is just so mainstream these days, even it isn't specifically being done by him. The only story I really liked was that weird, dream-like final story by Azzarello.

I liked it a lot. You guys are hard to please.

I just thought the art was so bad in many of the stories, i had a hard time getting into them. I would expect better for a big anniversary issue like that.

They're not really getting top tier talent for these specials. You would think they can get big names for one of the, if not, the biggest villain in popular culture.

Where's Morrison - who wrote Arkham Asylum?
Where's Miller - who wrote DKR?
Where's Loeb - who wrote Hush?
Where's King - who wrote a critically acclaimed Batman run?

It could also be that they didn't have any stories they could offer for this special?

And I would argue that this special has plenty of talent...Paul Dini, Tom Taylor, Scott Snyder, James Tynion, Peter Tomasi, Brian Azzarrello, and they've all had an impact on The Joker in their own way.
