    Great collection, but you omitted my favorite, Brian Bolland's artwork from The Killing Joke when a very humanized Joker disguised as The Red Hood falls into a vat of chemicals and 'becomes' The Joker: http://dailypop.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/com...
    That, to me, is essential Joker.

    A great addition Zag!

    Thanks, I was shocked to not see it included. This is what immediately comes to mind when I think of Joker (followed closely by Jack and Heath, of course). If you haven't read The Killing Joke, you're missing a BIG piece of the Batman puzzle.

    Delicious compilation as always. There is an B&A since H. Ledger Joker´s performance.
    Never before a joker performance inspired so many amazing characters.
  • damn thats awesome
  • Jam
    wow, thats some really awesome Joker artwork.

    I agree, but there seemed to be too much of a reliance on the most recently incarnation of the Clown Prince. Yes, Ledger's version of the Joker was amazing, but there is a lot that can be done with the character.
