Batman: A Piada Mortal

In 1999, Editora Abril published a single-issue Brazilian edition of the classic Batman story A Piada Mortal—the Portuguese-language translation of Batman: The Killing Joke. This release brought the influential, darkly psychological one-shot to a new audience, presenting the iconic confrontation between Batman and the Joker as scripted by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland. As a standalone volume, it stands as a key entry point for Portuguese-speaking readers into one of the medium's most debated and visually striking Batman tales.
