Batman: Going Sane #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection presents the 2008 miniseries Batman: Going Sane, which explores a psychological twist on the Joker's obsession with the Dark Knight. After apparently killing Batman, the Joker attempts to build a new, normal life for himself, only to find that his identity and madness are not so easily shed. The story is written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Joe Staton, offering a character-driven take on the Batman-Joker dynamic.
In "Going Sane 1: Into the Rushing River," writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Joe Staton explore a hauntingly different take on the Joker, now known as Joseph Kerr, as he navigates a fragile, unexpected connection with Rebecca Brown. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, tracing the fragile line between sanity and chaos, before Batman’s sudden return in the final panel—after months of absence—shatters the stillness. Cover by Joe Staton and Rodney Ramos captures the mood with stark, evocative detail.
In "Going Sane 2: Swimming Lessons," Joseph Kerr—once the Joker, now trying to live a quiet life—finds himself drawn to Rebecca Brown in a fragile, unexpected romance. As their connection deepens, the fragile peace of his new identity begins to strain, and Batman’s sudden return in the final panel sets the stage for something far more complicated than a simple return.
