I tried to go see TADC Last Act and it was an absolute nightmare. Just driving to the theater was difficult, their were no parking spots, after a while I had to give up and go home(wasting two tickets)and the drive back home was insane. I don't have words or the energy to explain it all. ☹️😭😱😭😫

14. Detective Comics 71 - "A Crime a Day!"

15. Batman Dailies "The Joker's symbol crimes"

16. Detective Comics 85 - "The Joker's Double"

All stories written by Bill Finger

Why these stories in particular? These are all written by his main creator before the character became more heavily censored and before his stories became more hit or miss.

After Detective Comics 62 the Joker was no longer allowed to kill but he would still get really close though and he was still pretty much the same character just a bit more outlandish.

If you just read the stories written by Bill Finger you get better quality control and better story flow. The last two stories mentioned Joker's symbol crimes and Joker's double would be the last stories to reference his early stories were he killed.

These are core Joker stories they should be read by any fan of the character or anyone who wants to write the character. (It became clear that writers at DC didn't.)

Although the next story Batman 23 The Upside Down Crimes! is pretty good, but after that the story quality was all over the place.

There are a few joker stories not written by Bill Finger that are worth reading that were made between these stories. But I would recommend first reading these stories mentioned above first in order, then read these stories mentioned below as a bonus.

(Bill Finger might have co wrote some of these)

Detective Comics 60 - "Case of the Costumed Clad Killers"

Batman 13 - "Comedy of Tears!"

Detective Comics 69 - "The Harlequin's Hoax!"

Batman 16 - "The Joker Reforms!"

Please reblog this post I want as many people as possible to give these stories a chance. I've read every single Joker story written by Bill Finger. I've noticed so many things that have been forgotten about this character.

I'll be posting more about it soon.

Any one else think Bob Kane's Joker looks like troll face?

And Dick Sprang's looks like new troll face?

On that note I think it's pretty safe say that Dick Sprang's design of the character was inspired by how Bob Kane would Draw Joker's comedy mask.

I knew I'd seen that expression somewhere.

I started reading the comics after watching the Dark Knight. And after a little while I started reading the first Batman comics and I was floored by how much Heath Ledger's Joker resembled the original version of the character.

I realized just how much DC dropped the ball with this character. It became clear that most DC writers did not read these early stories, and it shows.

Bronze age Joker is not up to par with his golden age counter part.

I'll go in depth about in later posts.
