The Unreveal: It's never revealed how Joker got out of Arkham via legal means. Also, it's never exactly revealed what thing Riddler steals for Joker. IGN Comics: Some other elements that really stood out were the changes to characters like Killer Croc, the Riddler, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. Can you walk through these villains and the changes you made? Did you envision their emotions and motivations to be different or were these simply cosmetic changes to bring them into this alternate reality?

A lo largo de la entera extención de la novela nos encontramos con una historia más bien densa, sin ese toque característico de humor que siempre parece estar presente en el hombre sonriente, con algunos de los antagonistas de la historia base de Batman, y una Harley Quinn aparentemente muda. Oh, Crap!: The look on Joker's face when he finds Croc and his men hogtied, indicating that Batman has finally found him, speaks volumes.

Bermejo: Definitely a coincidence. I certainly don't want to take anything away from Nolan or Ledger, they did something spectacular and iconic with the character, but the reality of this particular situation is simple: Brian and I were already well into this graphic novel when they released the first photo of Ledger. In fact, I was drawing the sequence where Joker walks into the Italian restaurant. I admit, I freaked out when I saw the photo. I immediately called Brian, and I remember he was like, "It doesn't really look anything like your Joker." I still feel like all they really have in common is the carved smile. Interview With Writer Brian Azzarello - The 100 Bullets author sits down with Dan Phillips to talk about developing this project. The project was initially announced as an ongoing series set in the main DC continuity with an October 2019 launch date. [41]

Bermejo: Still probably a bit too early to talk about the next project in any kind of detail, but I can say that I'm working on another graphic novel for DC and it features prominently some of the main characters. I can also safely say that it is a much different project content-wise than Joker. I wrote this graphic novel so it will be my first foray into stewarding a project completely myself. So far it's been a challenging but extremely exciting endeavor! Rogers, Vaneta (April 16, 2012). "Brian Azzarello Talks Before Watchmen, After the Controversy". Newsarama.

For example, Croc was probably the most exaggerated of the villains, but his skin condition is something that actually really exists so although his appearance is fairly extreme, you can actually find a real world explanation. Most of the time he seems to be portrayed as some kind of huge monster. Our Croc is more monstrous in his actions given that he pretty much helps dispose of bodies in... uhhhh... interesting ways.

This graphic novel provides examples of:

Joker is a 2008 one-shot graphic novel written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Lee Bermejo, focusing — just like it says on the tin— on the Joker, everyone's favorite Monster Clown. The story is done in a Darker and Edgier, Film Noir style and is told by a naive young criminal named Jonny Frost who yearns to be a big man in Gotham. So when (for reasons nobody seems to know) the Joker is released from Arkham Asylum and sets out to reclaim the city for himself, Frost decides he wants in. Carnage ensues! Along the way, they bump into the Riddler, Two-Face, the Penguin, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn and the B-man himself. Sad Clown: This version of the Joker is generally maniac, but has bouts of depression. If he's not laughing hysterically, he's crying in Harley's arms, or having an 'episode' (breakdown). There's a lot of visual similarities between this version of the Joker and the one presented in The Dark Knight; Word of God chalks this down to coincidence. The original title of the comic was even Joker: The Dark Knight (in the same vein as the partnership's previous graphic novel Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, which is a fun companion to this work) but that had to be scrapped for obvious reasons. IGN Comics: Do you think there is a danger in trying to make one too much like the other? Are the limits of each medium exposed the more they draw on their counterparts?
