Batman The Killing Joke: A Batman Novel By Christa Faust and Gary Phillips. Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. "Faced with overwhelming poverty and a pregnant wife, a tragic struggling comedian is forced to turn to crime. In his first heist, he is immersed in toxic chemicals that disfigure him bizarrely, driving him mad and thus giving birth to The Joker". Very much looking forward to reading this.
