"Okay. But... Batman... I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" - The Joker
This is the second comic from the Brian Azzarello and Matteo Casali's Batman Europa series. Batman and the Joker find themselves in Prague, both infected with a deadly virus that they are working together to find the cure for. They are being hunted around the town by a number of mechanical controlled monstrosities some reminiscent of the droogs from Clockwork Orange. Batmans' other accomplice Nina gets kidnapped and the adventure takes them on to the next step. They are looking for the mysterious villain known as the Trojan Horse, who poisoned the two anti-heroes and hoping to find Nina. Giuseppe Camuncoli's artwork is pretty intense with many close ups of grimaces and growls as Batman battles whoever is placed in front of him whilst his disease is worsening. It focuses a lot on the Jokers' eyes and Batmans' white voids where his eyes should be behind his mask. The language to support the action is often quite simple but you can easily see the personalities of Joker and Batman shining through the text. A mutual respect is perhaps building between these legends of DC comics, too. This was a very cool, quick read. I honestly don't know too much about comics. I was tempted into an awesome looking comic book shop today and thought I would check them out. This gets a solid three stars and when I am more familiar with comics, I may change that rating to reflect what I hope will be a belated healthy relationship with comic books.

Batman, The Joker and Nina head to Prague to find some answers.
Nina encounters some Clockwork Orange robots and is now missing. Now they are headed to Paris!
Good concept, just not as shocking as the first issue.

Still good, but not the evolution I was hoping for. Lot of action but a little less on the story.

What starts as an uncanny nexus takes the Knight and the ludicrous to the city magnifique in Europe. The illustrations are extremely mature and bold, and depicts almost a fragment of their mental fatigue and hallucinations. It strikes terror, and it pleases too well. The next is Paris. Lets see howthe characters develop.

I loved it! I think the reluctant allies, grumpy Batman + upbeat, insane Joker is their best dynamic. I have to see if there are more comics with them teaming up like this. I'm super new to Batman comics, so I don't know where to even start looking lol But that's what Tumblr fandom is for. haha

This quasi-partnership feels a bit too gimmicky.

Sigue siendo interesante pero en este número no pasó casi nada.
