New York Times bestselling graphic novel!

The Joker has been murdered. His killer is a mystery. Batman is the World's Greatest Detective. But what happens when the person he is searching for is the man staring back at him in the mirror?

THE JOKER IS DEAD.

There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.

Problem is, Batman can't remember...and the more he digs into this labyrinthine case, the more he starts to doubt everything he's uncovering.

So who better to set him straight than...John Constantine?

The problem with that is as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people's heads even more. So with John's "help," the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.

Batman: Damned is a groundbreaking supernatural horror story told by two of comics' greatest modern creators: Brian Azzarello (Dark Knight III: The Master Race, 100 Bullets) and Lee Bermejo (Hellblazer, Joker).

Collects Batman: Damned #1-3.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The story promises to be grand and cinematic, and Bermejo’s painterly, detailed art rarely disappoints.” —Paste Magazine

“Well-written, gorgeously drawn, and dark as hell.” —Geek Dad
 
“An amazing showcase for Lee Bermejo, proving once again that no one can render Batman or Gotham City quite like him." —IGN

Revolutionary Art and Story Telling. A New Bar Has Been Set.
5 Stars
Revolutionary Art and Story Telling. A New Bar Has Been Set.
After decades of goofiness and day-time pun-filled crime fighting, and years of PG mystery, we have finally received Batman as he was always meant to be written. The grit of this story and its art are almost revolutionary in what they mean for the future of Batman. While this isn't the first DC Black Label Batman (that would be Batman: White Knight), this sets a new bar in substance and quality. Batman's golden years were decent, but the black years have just begun, and if this is any indication of the direction Batman is going, there's no better time to be alive.

It almost blurs the lines of is this a picture taken in real like or is that drawn,lol? I mean the art is one of the coolest and best uses of style and really made each moment that much more cool. Story was good but at times found myself a little lost but with the way its done makes it definitely worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A damned good read
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2019

I see that this one is a little divisive in the fact that so much is left to interpretation. Without going into spoiler territory, this is best looked at as a character study on Bruce Wayne/Batman with some different elements than what we are used to. This is not a book to blast through, but it is one to look at the meaning behind the panels (believe me, it will be hard to speed through these extremely well drawn panels). Again this is not a book for everyone, but if you come into it with the right mindset you're in for a visual and prolific experience. I know that I would be happy to revisit it.

As far as the actual product goes, this is a very wide book as far as comics go. If you're a collector like myself, be ready for that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Art 10/10. Story 5/10.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022

Get this for the art, and the tone, both of which are incredible. Imagine Norman Rockwell meets Sin City.

As far as the story (if you can call it that,) I'm not even really sure there's a coherent story here. Or maybe I'm just the kind of guy that needs to be spoon fed. But when I finish a graphic novel and can't even really tell you what the plot or the protagonist's goal was, I think it's an issue of author clarity more so than reader comprehension.

Batman is investigating... something? Joker I guess? Not really sure what he's trying to learn. But he just kind of bounces around Gotham vaguely questioning people. It ultimately leads nowhere really and the ending is ambiguous. Honestly I got the feeling that the "plot" was really just a backdrop over which to feature Bruce's relentless psychological torment, and edgy internal dialogue, which take center stage throughout the entire novel. Interesting character work here, and a unique take on Batman/Bruce, but again, not really a story.

One pet peeve I had is that characters repeatedly just so happen to show up in the right places at the right times, with no explanation of why they're there, or how they somehow knew Batman would be. There's one graveyard scene in particular in which multiple characters converge, with no explanation whatsoever of why any of them are there, and it's absolutely critical to this story that one of them in particular is here. Needless to say, the contrivance was blatant.

Overall a good read. Incredible art, style, and tone. And a uniquely dark, gritty take on Batman/Bruce.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag

Ignoring the controversy of Bat privates, this is a definite worthy purchase for avid Bat fans. Art is dream-like, eerie and beautiful. Narrative is disjointed with purpose but the writing of Batman Elseworlds or otherwise kind of lacked, painting him as a bit more cruel, narcissistic and broken. The end kind of typifies sound and fury signifying nothing to quote Shakespeare. I liked the journey but did not necessarily love the destination.
