☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume from Titan's Caped Crusader Classics! series reprints a selection of early Batman stories that pit the Dark Knight against his greatest nemesis, the Joker. Drawn from the Golden Age of comics, these tales showcase the Clown Prince of Crime's first appearances and his evolving rivalry with Batman, offering a nostalgic look at the foundation of their iconic conflict.
In "The Joker's Journal," the Joker, newly freed from prison and put to work on the institution’s paper, turns the tables by escaping and launching his own underground publication for criminals—complete with crime tips and a twisted editorial voice. Batman infiltrates the operation, posing as a writer to track down the most elusive offenders, but the line between reporter and target blurs as the Joker’s game grows more personal.
In "Batman - Clown of Crime!", Batman and the Joker find themselves caught in a bizarre twist when a chance encounter under mysterious epsilon rays swaps their personalities—leaving the Dark Knight trapped in the Joker’s mind and the Clown Prince of Crime wearing the cowl. The line between hero and villain blurs as each must navigate the other’s world, testing the limits of identity and madness.
In *The Joker's Millions!*, the Clown Prince of Crime finds himself at a crossroads when he inherits a fortune from a deceased mob boss—only to discover the wealth is mostly fake. Now desperate to maintain his extravagant lifestyle without revealing his true identity, he stages a series of mundane crimes, all while evading detection. But even as he tries to stay ordinary, the clues keep leading back to him, and Gotham’s most unpredictable villain may be one step too far from the spotlight.
