Batman: Three Jokers is essential a sequel of sorts to the events of The Killing Joker. The essential premise of this is what if there were Three Jokers running things in Gotham? The Criminal, The Clown, and The Comedian. What if they were all different? And how would Batman, Jason Todd, and Batgirl - all victims of the Joker's cruelty deal with such a crisis? This instantly feels like a classic. It is consistent with Batman/Joker's origin story AND the creation of the henchmen that would do the Joker's bidding. It's a quite emotional tale, with a quite satisfying ending. I highly recommend this if you're a Batman fan.
