After an legendary event like Joker War, we frequently see a few new continuous series pop up. however barely do we see the villain get one. However, not only did the villain get a series, however the Joker got one! as well as James Tynion IV’s new series is the very first continuous Joker series in decades. That may be since composing a Joker continuous series seems impossible. even Tynion said, in a DC Comics Q&A, “when DC Comics approached me with the idea, I laid out all the reasons a Joker series wouldn’t work.” But, obviously, he discovered a hook. instead of a superhero story, we’re getting a “real horror noir title.”結果? A truly damn great criminal offense drama—about former commissioner Jim Gordon.
Why starting the Joker continuous series with Jim Gordon Works

As Tynion said, he’s going for a “real horror noir” title. As it turns out, he dove headfirst into this concept. one of the very first scenes of problem one features a cannibal eating the deal with of a teen woman he connected to a table, as well as using a young detective a piece. While it does have a bit of a “women in refrigerators” tinge to it, the scene is 100% horror noir. It’s likewise 100% Silence of the Lambs, most likely the very best horror noir story ever told. In fact, that’s the structure Tynion seems to be going for. While Clarice drove the narrative, Hannibal Lector was the primary character in Silence of the Lambs. We get his story mainly from Clarice’s point of view.

Really, this was the only method to compose a Joker continuous series. Joker is concurrently the most basic as well as challenging villain in comics. He’s chaos—chaos is easy. however establishing chaos as a character? Well, that’s a whole other issue. numerous writers have tried getting into the Joker’s mind, however the Joker’s entire point is that we can’t get into his mind.並不真地。 We have different incarnations that work, such as Alan Moore’s backstory from The killing Joke (which was not meant to be canon). Of course, there is likewise Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, a different type of Joker altogether. Heath Ledger’s Joker worked so well since Christopher Nolan selected not to delve into a backstory however instead enable the audience to fill those unknowns with their own subconscious terrors. And no character comprehends the horrors of the Joker much better than Jim Gordon.
Why starting the new series from Gordon’s point of view Doesn’t Work.

In the very first problem of the new Joker continuous series, Tynion shows us just exactly how deep the Joker’s actions have nested in Gordon’s mind. Gordon’s character advancement is a few of the very best we’ve seen considering that Gotham Central. Tynion beautifully crafts the struggles between legislation as well as vengeance, morals as well as ultimatums, as well as even Batman’s method as well as Gotham’s needs. Seeing exactly how the Joker haunts Gordon is a lot more scary than the grisly murder early in the issue.
However, we only see the Joker himself for one page. This may leave a few fans who wished to see the Joker in an continuous Joker series a bit disappointed. however while this harkens back to Silence of the Lambs again, it’s still not enough. Hannibal Lector was only in the motion picture for sixteen minutes, out of 138 minutes. That’s a overall of 11% of the movie, however when we believe about Silence of the Lambs, it feels like Lector takes up a lot of of the movie.
But if you believe that’s a stretch for a function that got Anthony Hopkins an Oscar for finest actor in a leading role, the Joker has even less “screen time.” Appearing “in the flesh” for just one page out of 40 is a whopping 2.5% of his debut issue. So, as satisfying as the problem was, perhaps matching that 11% of Lector would have made it even better.
The Joker continuous series is a best Jumping-On point for new Readers

Ever considering that DC Rebirth, a great deal has occurred in Gotham. In the pinnacle of Tom King’s now-legendary run, Bane took over the city as well as ruled it with the gigantic bear claw he phone calls a fist. This story arch likewise included the heartbreaking Alfred Pennyworth RIP. Yet when the people of Gotham discover that Bane obviously died in A-Day (we’ll get to that), they mourn for him. They paint murals as well as hang flags with his image. however it’s not just the aftermath of City of Bane we see here. We likewise get the aftermath的h戰爭。當哥譚(Gotham)的人民為貝恩(Bane)哀悼時,他們要求發布Joker的ProtégéPunchline。
A-Day以及Jim Gordon在新Joker連續系列中的問題
因此,顯然,哥譚有點混亂。以及角色在未來狀態中提到的A-Day [原來]對Arkham庇護所進行了可怕的氣體攻擊,殺死了許多人和人事成員。使用的汽油?但是,使受害者微笑的小丑毒素的一種變體消除了輕笑的副作用。這表明當人們死亡時,沒有人會聽到他們的聲音,以及毒素在沒有任何警告的情況下傳播。及時只有少數逃脫。
這就是小丑連續系列的開始。富裕的哥譚公民的個人基礎是在小丑政權中磨損的恐懼政權,希望僱用吉姆·戈登(Jim Gordon)發現並在所有人的情況下殺死小丑。沒有正當程序,沒有逮捕,沒有企圖監禁。只是一顆子彈,刀伸到心臟,炸彈到球體麻袋裡,無論最後殺死了怪物。但是吉姆會選擇嗎?他們使用2500萬美元加上無盡的信用評分卡。但是,這對吉姆沒有任何意義。好吧,不是什麼。正如他所說,他幾乎沒有足夠的錢在自己的公寓裡退休。除了小丑藏在伯利茲,所以也免費的空間。
在所有的恐怖之後,小丑把他,他的家人以及哥譚穿越的恐怖之後,他是否可以說出殺死小丑的可能性?成為所有人和所有人(就漫畫而言)放下他的人嗎?他是否違反蝙蝠俠以及為無數生命報仇的立法,同時停止數千人的死亡?考慮到這一點是一個連續的小丑系列,反應很可能是一個巨大的肯定。

等待!還有更多。同樣,當她等待審判時,我們也會得到一個關於爆炸的故事。如上所述,儘管她極度公開犯罪,但哥譚人民還是像她一樣。因此,為了確保她再也看不到監獄牢房的外部,地方檢察官辦公室需要最好的案例。有見證人,指紋等都沒關係。人們目前發現她無辜。他們需要在爆炸線上挖掘任何類型的污垢,但是他們不能只派人從辦公室派人來偷偷摸摸她的舊出沒。但是,辦公室中的一個人之一是哈珀·羅(Harper Row),哈珀·羅(Harper Row)是一個名為bluebird的小蝙蝠家庭英雄。
但是,儘管藍鳥準備進行調查,但Punchline正在為她在監獄裡做她最擅長的事情:毆打人們。當監獄中最偉大的幫派負責人要求她還款時,Punchline恰好回應了您期望她的方法:非常非常暴力。這是備份故事的絕佳配置。
連續的Joker系列是許多新的$ 4.99成本積分中的第一個。

哦,這使我想起。 2009年,Marvel Comics以原始承諾將其更大的頭銜的成本從2.99美元降至3.99美元,他們將在每個問題中提供更多材料。持續了大約一個月的3.99美元最終成為市場標準。但是,儘管首次亮相問題的成本更高,但接下來的兩個徵求問題同樣高於3.99美元。即使更加令人震驚,問題三目前的提供為5.99美元。當小丑連續系列的首次交易最終最終出現在Comixology拍賣中時,對於六到七期,很可能為5.99美元。
因此,請保持錢包無風險,因為如果歷史向我們展示了任何東西,這可能會永久標誌著漫畫的封面成本的修改。
