Batman: Dark Joker - The Wild

In this 1993 DC one-shot, writer Doug Moench and artist Kelley Jones deliver a standalone Batman tale that twists the Joker into a primal, feral force of nature. The story strips the Clown Prince of Crime down to his savage core, pitting a grim Dark Knight against a villain who has abandoned all pretense of humor for pure, chaotic instinct. A dark, atmospheric entry in the Batman mythos, it showcases Jones’s grotesque, expressionistic art and Moench’s lean, intense storytelling.
