The Joker: Devil's Advocate

Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, the team behind the acclaimed "Knightfall" saga, reunited for this 1996 DC one-shot that puts the Joker on trial for murder. The story explores whether Gotham's Clown Prince of Crime can be convicted through legitimate legal means, forcing Batman to confront the line between justice and his own code. A taut, self-contained thriller, it’s a definitive examination of the Joker’s relationship with the law and the limits of Batman’s mission.
