(B+) 79% | GoodNotes: Just Batman Volume 7, re-baked with extra leaven, though to be fair, two gems in there, but on the whole it's lessened.

Hmm. Much of this has already been told in the main Batman storyline previously in Endgam. I suppose you could read this as a stand-alone, but I would think mostly the people who read this are reading the whole run. The story is retold again. There are new parts of the story, from other character stories, I hare, but there isn't a whole lot added into the Endgame story. I think from now on, I will stick to the main stories and not read these extra titles. They aren't really worth it. The story i...

This volume is sort of a duplicate for Batman, Vol. 7: Endgame, it contains the same material, but also collects a couple other tie-in issues which is the main thing I will comment on.Most of the tie-ins serve an overall purpose: create a mythology and mystery around the Joker. He's become a boogeyman where people tell varied stories about him, whether he's a ghost, a robot, a demon, etc. Nearly all stories are the same in that he visits and psychologically messes with people's minds.My favorite...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. I'm not sure what the purpose of this volume is; it's almost exactly the same as Batman, Vol 7: Endgame. There's nothing new, which was very disappointing. I was expecting a retelling from a different perspective (like from the Joker), but that wasn't the case. I'd recommend this only for the most extreme completists.

Best read in conjunction with Batman, Volume 7: Endgame. They complete each other.

5 starsVery good comic. The Joker has always creeped me out. Wonder what his real story is and who he is. Hope he is finally gone for good. RIP Batman / Bruce Wayne. Hope Alfred will be okay with Bruce gone. Can't wait to read more Batman/Bat family comics!!!Has anyone watched Gotham? If so, what do you think of it?

Thanks, DC!So nice of you to reprint Batman: Endgame, plus in a few tie-in issues, and sell it as a completely different book. Way to be classy! The tie-in stories aren't bad, but they're mostly about random characters...and then Batgirl.Considering how much I disliked the New Batgirl, I was shocked that it was my favorite out of the bunch. It was told without dialogue, which worked really well for me, because I absolutely LOVE the art from that title.The rest of the tie-ins deal with what's

Have you already read Batman, Volume 7: Endgame? If yes, then you’ve already read about half of this book! That’s right, DC have republished the entire Endgame story arc in this book, that’s Batman #35-40 - pretty audacious! I’m not going to re-review it so if you want to know what I thought about those issues, click the link here and it’ll take you to the Batman, Vol. 7 review. So what’s new in this book? The backups from those single issues are collected here. Written by James Tynion IV and dr...

This is a collection of the Endgame run through the Batman titles. The Joker hits Gotham with a massive release of his virus and its changing everyone into a lunatic. The story takes twists and turns through the history of Gotham and raises the question of who is this pale laughing man? How long has he been in Gotham? In general it was a good Batman story- but since it was a collection of different titles (some of which aren't very good) the story drifts a bit. Also the newer storyline of the Ba...

I actually thought for a moment I was reading Batman: Endgame while I was reading this graphic novel. I blame it on that I read reviews of Batman: Endgame and I could have sworn that Batman: Endgame took up the same stories as this one or similar. And, apparently it did. Frankly that doesn't make me all that keen to read Batman: Endgame since now I have read this one instead and it was well let's say not perfect. At least I didn't find it that good, it got better towards the end when the differe...

Contains all of Batman: Endgame and a bunch of filler material. Stick with Batman: Endgame. The filler is boring and pointless. The Joker backup story from Batman is inexplicably split up between each Batman issue instead of being collected together which would have made more sense as it was all one story.

The last joke is on us! This TPB edition collects the main storyline of “Endgame” (focused in The Joker) in the title of “Batman” featured in #35-40 + Annual #3, along with the tie-ins “Arkham Manor: Endgame” #1, “Batgirl: Endgame” #1, “Detective Comics: Endgame” #1 and “Gotham Academy: Endgame” #1.Creative Team:Writers: Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Frank Tieri, Brian Buccellato, Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, Clio Chiang, Joy Ang, Vera Brosgol, Cameron Stewart. Illustrators: Greg Capullo

Before we begin, I'll just confirm exactly what's in this collection because it's a little confusing. Collected here are the entirety of Batman #35-40, including the back-ups, as well as Annual #3, and every Endgame tie-in special; Arkham Manor, Gotham Academy, Batgirl, and Detective Comics. So if you want the complete Endgame experience, this is the volume you should get over Batman Volume 7: Endgame, because this collects everything that does, and more.I really like both of Scott Snyder's Joke...

Wow, what a crazy story. The Joker in all his crazy glory. This is one sick puppy. Not really crazy about all the spin off stories, but the Batman issues were the highlights of this collection. I am slowly catching up via my digital library on this Batman 2011 collections. My library did not have Volume 7, but they did have this Joker Endgame. Great stories and mostly great art.

Half of this is reprinted issues from Endgame...

-"The story of Batman is, and always will be a tragedy"The Joker: Endgame presents another take on the perpetual battle between Batman and the Joker with the lives of Gotham's citizens yet again at stake. However, this time the Joker is portrayed as far more supernatural compared to other issues i have read. Throughout the novel, numerous Joker origin stories are presented all with their own twisted take. Although, these stories are not original they do help add a level of intrigue to the overal...

I'll address the Tie-ins first. In all honesty I didn't like any of the 4 one shots, I did however, love the annual. It reminded me of Batman the Animated series episode Jokers Favor quite a bit. That was wonderful. The other issues, not so much. They just weren't interesting to me. I thought there was much better stories they could've done. instead it was mostly just a filler and promotions for the other Batman related books and their creative teams. Not a bad idea, but unfortunately I didn't l...

Gave this a go as a friend had kindly lent me a stack of their graphic novels. Was left quite disappointed in the story and the format overall. Titled as The Joker: Endgame I didn’t expect it to just be Batman Vol.7: Endgame (which I had read some years ago) with filler material that seemed very all over the place. This filler content doesn’t tie into the Endgame narrative as well as I would have liked.I would honestly advise just picking up Batman Endgame rather than this title if you are inter...

I read volume 7 so this was a disappointment. I was hoping for more tie-ins to the overall story but the added materials are all over the place so not interesting. OVERALL GRADE: C.

This review - now....and while the idea of the Joker spreading all sorts of stories about his past is a lot of fun, I'm not so sure about the execution, because of the issues I mentioned 25 minutes ago. It's interesting to see all sorts of mythical/sci fi interpretations of the Joker's origins, but they didn't really fit seamlessly in the Batman universe. With a story like "The Sandman", there would be a chance for any one of them to be true, but can I really believe that the Joker is a robot, o...
