This book is better than it has any right to be.

The Joker is free after the Joker Wars and someone comes to James Gordan to ask for help. This mysterious woman tells James that she'll give him 25 million dollars to hunt down and kill the Joker. Easy, right? But Gordan is a man of justice and honor but even he, after years of being tortured by the sick clown freak joker, can't take much more of it.

This is mostly a Jim Gordan book. Joker is here, and he has some great moments, but he is just the shadow behind the plot. The real story is all about Jim dealing with his PDST and issues with the joker. Drawn wonderfully with excellent art, and some really solid storytelling, even if it can get a bit heavy handed and TOO much talking, it still a interesting story none the less.

A 4 out of 5.
