Brian Azzarello's graphic novel 'Joker' is a horrific, and realistic retelling of the Batman villain. This iteration is more crazy, more violent, and a whole hell of a lot more vial. Joker is a semi competent crime lord with a smile and far more ruthless when it comes to his crimes. The story is told through the eyes of Jonny Frost, a loser henchman that learns the lesson of following a storm.
