Batman: Going Sane

J. M. DeMatteis and Joe Staton deliver a taut psychological thriller in this 2008 DC one-shot, exploring what happens when the Joker finally believes he has killed the Batman. Freed from his obsession, the Clown Prince of Crime attempts to build a quiet, normal life—only to find that sanity might be the most terrifying joke of all. A focused, character-driven story that gets under the skin of one of comics' greatest villains.
