I am finishing these faster than kevin hart makes movies.
So holiday takes a new victim.
Batman saves gotham from the joker killing hundreds of people.
The gordons pay the harveys a visit.

Best issue so far. The Art on this is really something else. This is joker at his craziest. Trying to eliminate a murderer he dees as competition. Best quote: when the clock strikes twelve, Will I get a little Kiss? Classic Joker

It’s New Years Eve in Gotham, and of course another holiday brings another tense night for Batman as the mysterious Holiday will surely strike again. Meanwhile, Joker is still trying to show he is the Clown Prince of Crime and steal back the limelight. He steals a plane and plans to drop a Joker gas bomb on the revellers at Gothams Times Square (or equivalent thereof). Bu will he succeed, or will his only success be in distracting Batman whilst Holiday strikes again?

Batman and Joker vibes are what I live for !

[Robert · Rating 3 out of 5]

This issue felt a little weak . . . at least in the Batman department. Joker steals a crop duster to drop his Joker gas on Gotham Square as people ring in the new year. He killed the co-pilot and a stewardess. For a crop duster? Doesn't ring true. Batman jumps on the plane and disables Joker. Yeah, whatever.

More interesting is that someone at the D.A.'s office uncovers a link between Falcone and Bruce Wayne. This is shared with Harvey Dent, who is working late. He is concerned. Upon arriving home, a NYE surprise of the Gordon's is popped upon him. Harvey is not in the celebratory mood. The wives talk. They lament the stress of their husband's jobs.

Joker really isn't happy that someone is taking the limelight. I love how he's drawn in this run, he's the polar opposite of Batman.

I'm enjoying the foreshadowing in some of the panels featuring Harvery Dent. Especially the panels with half his face hidden by shadow. If you know then its hardly subtle but I enjoyed it all the same.

Story is still incredibly engaging.

দ্য কিলিং জোক এর 'জোকার'-ই বর্তমান সব জোকারের ইন্সপিরিশন হলেও আমার কিলিং জোকের জোকারকে তেমন আহামরি লাগে নাই।
কিন্তু এখানের জোকারকে ভালই এঞ্জয় করেছি। কিছু লাইন আছে যা পড়ে মজা না পাওয়ার কোন উপায় নেই। আস্ত উম্মাদনা।

I'm starting to like this story very much.
Although you start understanding where this is heading, from the beginning, the story has much to offer with respect to the early years of Batman, the foes and allies to come.

"We need to talk about Bruce Wayne."

The Joker wants to poison half the city while Batman goes to stop him. It's a tale as old as time.

Tim Sale really just makes his Batman really pop. Easily one of the best looks for Batman. Really hard to beat.

[Pato Myers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick, enjoyable, and nostalgic read.

[Frasier Sarmiento]

Good 4th entry into this series of detective comics.

[Andres Farias Riquelme · Rating 4 out of 5]

Every volume gets better and better.
As a reader, I have some idea of how is this going to end, though you know the end all the same.
Great story so far!

[Dennis Brock · Rating 4 out of 5]

As in issue #3 the Joker is written so well here. 4.25/5

È capodanno Batman sventa l'assalto di Joker alla piazza di Gotham Square, mentre Falcone continua a perdere membri della sua famiglia.

What better way to ring in a New Year than with Batman v Joker on an airplane?? Harvey Dent finds a connection between Falcone andBruce Wayne.

[michie · Rating 4 out of 5]

the joker is probably (definitely) the funniest character.

[finn · Rating 4 out of 5]

the killing scene in this one is my least favorite so far, I couldn't tell who died at first.

[Vibhav · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much tighter. Stronger tension. Emotional undercurrent rises. Feels like things are actually shifting, not just circling.

[Steven Mathew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stupendous. One of the most high profile targets in the family taken out, and multiple possible folks implicated. I absolutely love the setting, vibe, and art style for this one.

The Joker decides to eliminate the other homicidal maniac serial killer in town by killing everyone celebrating in Gotham Square ...
