The villains of Batman compared to the villains of Superman Are like Gods compared to mere humans.I am in love with each and everyone of them and i want to read more more and more.I will be starting to read Batman from the very beginning as soon as i canI promise you that the stories that might come out of this are not to be missed.

Joker is your narrator and he focuses on psychosis of four well known villains in the Batman world: Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. Joker gets his own story, too, so there are five tales overall. I was impressed with how the particular disorder of each villain was woven into a believable and well plotted tale. Penguin had the cruelest tale interwoven into finding the soulmate of his life; Joker holds people hostage on a TV show to impress upon everyone who is the real “sicko”; Two-F...

This is basically joker doing his best tales from the crypt impression, some of the artwork and stories are better than others, but there's no really bad ones. I loved the art style of scarecrow's cliché horror story, the best issue was probably two-face, it's such a simple plot but it works and the ending was cool.

Batman: Joker's Asylum Vol. 1 Review:Joker's Asylum is a collection of stories from Batman's rogues gallery and it is told to us by the Joker. I wasn't really expecting anything here, but I was suprised of how much I enjoyed this volume. Now this is volume 1 as the there is a volume 2 out there with a different set of stories from other villains. I'll also be doing this review by each story from each villain. 1. The Joker - 8/10- First one is a story for the Joker, the story is basically that Jo...

I had never heard of this series before I found it while trying to find something to read on Comixology. I looked it up this site and online and fought out that it was an anthology series drawn & written by a different creative team each issue. I've always liked anthologies in normal books because there are usually some gems hidden amongst the rubbish in them. In this series, the Joker begins and ends each story like he's the Crypt Keeper from Tales From the Crypt. Each issue focuses on a differ...

I wasn't expecting much from these, but they're actually really good examinations of these villains. Being an anthology, some are better than others of course. But don't let the generic concept fool you, these are fun reads.

This was kinda different as it’s great story’s that you never herd before told by the joker. It’s good for short entertainment value.

This isn't really a Batman comic it's more of a Rogue's Gallery comic and I'm okay with that. Sure Batman makes an appearance or two but he isn't the star. The structure for this comic was fresh and fun, the Joker broke the fourth wall and spoke directly to the reader, the subsequent stories were narrated by the Joker in a sort of homage to TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Each story featured a different villain (The Joker, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, the Scarecrow, and Two Face)and the Joker closed each stor...

Not bad! So Batman Jokers Asylum is a collection of one shots, all from a villains perspective: we have Joker, Penguin, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and Two Face, and Joker is basically narrating the stories! I'm not sure if Aaron wrote all of them, I think he did, the artist changed each issue though! Disappointly though, the Joker one was probably the weakest one though, with some butt ugly ass artwork; it did have a really cool ending though! If I had to rank them from worst to best it would be: 5.

Joker plays a psychotic Rod Serling a la 'Night Gallery' and presents multiple unrelated suspense / horror stories which shed some light on the major villains. (Batman, however, pretty much only contributes cameo appearances.) Still, this was something different and, for the most part, it works.

This was a really good series of one shots starring Batman's Rogue Gallery, which I think is the best in all of comics. (Spider Man is close, though.)Ironically the Joker story is probably the lightest in tone of this collection as some of these stories are really dark. The art is top notch and the stories are good as well.It was cool to see the villains take center stage. Great collection for any Batman fan.

Joker's Asylum is a five-issue weekly miniseries of one-shots that is narrated by the Joker and was released during the month of July 2008. These stories might be a tide unreliable, considering the source is the Joker, so the veracity is of these stories is still rather questionable. This trade paperback collects all five issues in the 2008 weekly mini-series.Batman: Joker's Asylum opens with a story about The Joker. He hijacks an on-air game show, posing as its host, and threatens to kill the c...

This is a collection of five stories told by the joker about his fellow villains in the batman series. The first story is about the Joker himself and how he took over a TV station and caused mayhem as usual. The second story is about the Penguin and how he became so disturbed. His trouble with women going back to his childhood. The third story is about Poison Ivy, and a vendetta she has been looking to settle for a while. The fourth story is about Scarecrow and a girl named Lindsey he had been c...

Narrated by the one and only Joker, this "Masterpiece Theatre" of Batman's rogues presents a unique tale based around Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Two-Face. Joker crashes a TV game show, giving the readers a look at the genius behind the insanity. Penguin's dark story see him look for love, only to have his true feathers create dissent. Poison Ivy tackles a group of former eco-terrorists in a beatifully-drawn but weakly-told tale. The Scarecrow crashes a high school slumber party a...

This is a fun collection of stories about various Batman villains, as told by the Joker. The fact that Joker is telling these stories places the veracity of these tales in question, given his long history of lying and manipulation, but that does not make them any less entertaining to read.

love love love.. 5 completely different, completely insane stories - highly recommend!

I love DC villains, with the Joker undoubtably sitting at the top of the food chain! Of the 5 stories in this collection they are a bit hit and miss in both story and artwork. The Jokers was my favourite story overall, it had me laughing a lot, but the artwork in that one was my least favourite, it was so odd. The Scarecrow artwork was classic comic, and I loved that. The Penguin and Two-Faces story lines were also pretty awesome.

Joker is telling us the tales about the other crazies and it's a mixed bag. Some stories are good, some are mediocre. And if you're buying this as separate issues, don't get tricked by the cover art, it's not as good inside. The best ones are Penguin's and Joker's, I'd say.

Dig, if you will, The Joker as a Rod Serling on methamphetamine and you have...the picture. Definitely a journey of interest,

3.5 stars, but I'll round up. This book really surprised me - a great lineup of villain-centric stories from the Batman universe.
