About this Collection

This French-language collection brings together the 1989 one-shot 'Batman: Souriez!', a standalone story published by Comics USA. The volume features the Dark Knight in a self-contained adventure, distinct from the main ongoing series, likely emphasizing the character's grim detective work in Gotham City.

In this 1989 French-language edition of Batman – Souriez !, Alan Moore and Janine Bharucha deliver a chilling, meticulously crafted tale that redefines the Joker’s menace. Brian Bolland’s striking artwork—both in the interior and on the cover by Bolland—captures the twisted elegance of a carnival gone horrifically wrong, as Batman confronts a doppelgänger at Arkham and races to save Commissioner Gordon and Barbara from a nightmare staged in a grotesque, surreal funhouse.

Batman visits the Joker in Arkham Asylum only to discover he has been replaced by a double. As Batman attempts to track the villain down, the Joker shows up at the house of Commissioner Gordon where he promptly shoots Barbara and captures her father. The Joker takes Jim to a modified carnival where he tries to drive him mad (partially by showing him pictures of his naked and bleeding daughter). Batman arrives and starts beating on the Joker who attempts to reason with him in his own insane fashion. As things wrap up and the police arrive, the Joker finally tells Batman a joke that he gets.
