Madness Is The Emergency Exit
In 1988 Alan Moore had just finished writing arguably the greatest graphic novel ever, Watchmen. His next project saw him jump into a world inhabited by a mainstream superhero, the world of Gotham City, the world of Batman. While Batman plays an important role in Moore’s story, he instead focuses on the psychology behind his arch-nemesis, the Joker. In what is easily one of the best Batman stories ever told, The Killing Joke introduced major new plots for future Batman writers, especially concerning Batgirl, and it defined the Joker’s backstory.
