More than a crazy person who stumbled upon The Joker’s face, more than just a woman with a mission, The Joker’s Daughter sees herself as a woman on the path of greed, dominance, and lordship over the Gotham Underground.

Noooo! Why? I had such high hopes for this. Instead of being creepy and dark and exciting...it was irritating and I wanted it to be over. I just rolled my eyes the whole way through.
What a dark little book this was. Sick in some says, repetitive in others, but I feel like that is part of the whole Joker motif of this story. He does repeat himself a bit. Jokes always repeat themselves until everyone has heard them.
I wonder who this girl is ... what kind of family she had. I wonder if there is story that comes before and after this that I have just not gotten to yet. The girl is definitely not right in the head. In the end she kills a few, and doesn't get the great reward she is after.
Apparently, the Joker is dead, and she wants to find him. Batman, saw him go over the edge of an abyss in an underground cave they've called "Golgotham." This probably has to do with a storyline that I have not yet read in the main series, but I have not really delved into many DC stories. This might be the first one, actually. Not purposefully. I am not trying to stay away from DC ... I guess nothing has called to be yet is all.
This story didn't do much to inspire me to read more. The art was beautiful in places. I liked the scratchiness it had going on, and I felt that was perfect for the kind of story it was. Batman's brief appearances were unimpressive. I know I'll get into the Batman and Superman stories someday ... maybe that day isn't too far away. I know I want to get started on Wonder Woman, but I have no idea where to begin.
My favorite part about this issue was the girl's scythe. It was a crescent moon blade tied on to a staff. It was a great visual, and it make this little Jokeress a tad more believable. Maybe she did appropriate the personality, but I feel like she does start to own it toward the end. I'd read more about this character if it ever came to print.
Wow ummm…. That was interesting I guess?? Way too dark and extreme for me honestly, it was just kind of gross and sad. I’m not averse to horror/gore or disturbing imagery, far from it honestly, I love horror when it’s done right but what the hell was this?? Who is this for?? This is especially disappointing after death of the family which is one of my favourite Batman stories ever, and I’m really trying to not let this have an effect on my love for that story
As soon as I saw this title I had to roll my eyes and they kept rolling the entire time I read this. I only read this as it was related to The Joker, and while creepy and dark it was lacking.
It was like reading a fan fiction, the main character felt like a Mary Sue. She just wasn't interesting. She lacks all the charisma that The Joker has. I don't care enough about her to keep reading (unless The Joker himself shows up then I might consider it).
The best part of this was the scenes with the orderlies at Arkham, that's what I want more of. Everything else was just a confused mess that was trying way to hard.
The only thing I'm left wondering after this is how Harley Quinn would feel about this?
