《蝙蝠侠：致命玩笑》是美国DC漫画公司创作的漫画作品。二十年前，编剧阿兰·摩尔和画师布莱恩·伯兰德，向世界呈现了将小丑塑造成型的一系列事件。如今，他们创作出的那些无与伦比的、 噩梦般的图像将以全新的典藏版形式卷土重来。

他是蝙蝠侠最不共戴天的宿敌，是丧心病狂的犯罪大师，他怪异的狂暴行径就连世界最佳侦探也琢磨不透。然而小丑并非天生如此。在他成为犯罪界的小丑王子之前，在那命定的一天将他面容尽毁、心灵永久扭曲之前，他也曾是黑暗骑士愿意献出生命去保护的对象——一个平凡人 。 是什么导致了这个平凡公民堕落成了哥谭有史以来最强反派？蝙蝠侠能阻止小丑把戈登局长和他的女儿芭芭拉拖入疯狂深渊的计划吗？这对死敌能及时为他们之间无尽的对决画下一个句号吗？

DC漫画公司编剧：Alan Moore绘画：Brian Bolland色彩：John Higgins蝙蝠侠的宿敌，小丑Joker又逃出了精神病院。这次他不仅开枪打残了警察局长戈登的女儿Barbara，还绑架了戈登，意图将其逼疯，来证明疯狂是每个人都有的本性。故事不仅让蝙蝠女Barbara从此残废，更重要的是揭示了Joker的来历，为这个人物添加了深度：其实这个可恶的罪犯原本也是个可怜人，同时正如后来Barbara抱怨的那样——蝙蝠侠对这样一个罪犯的产生，也负有一定的责任。另一个目的，是强调Batman和Joker的“对等”关系，蝙蝠侠表面上虽然和Joker站在势不两立的立场，其实他的内心也和Joker同样疯狂，他不仅创造了自己的敌人，也和他所追捕的罪犯是精神上的双胞胎。Bolland的画面细致入微，人物表情丰富，Higgins所使用的色彩强烈，加上Moore的故事，给人一种既荒诞，又现实的感觉。

Adapting what may be the most popular of graphic novels, by the edgy Hard Case Crime author, adding layers and exploring the nature of morality.

Faced with overwhelming poverty and a pregnant wife, a tragic, struggling comedian is forced to turn to crime. In his first heist, he is immersed in toxic chemicals that disfigure him bizarrely, driving him mad and thus giving birth to The Joker.

For years, the Clown Prince of Crime has been caught in a dance of violence with his greatest nemesis, the Batman. Escaping Arkham Asylum, he plots his most lethal caper. This will be the ultimate punch line... his KILLING JOKE.

In their mission to protect Gotham City, Batman and Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) pursue ruthless criminals such as the grandiose Maxie Zeus and Antonio "Python" Palmares. Simultaneously, Commissioner James Gordon and Detective Harvey Bullock take on a cartel distributing the latest designer drug--"giggle sniff," derived from a venom created by The Joker.

This rapid-fire sequence of events spirals together to threaten Batman's closest friends and allies, and locks the two eternal foes in their ultimate death match.
