I finally read this last night, and I'm glad I did. The story telling and art were both brilliant. No loose ends, no forgotten plot points. A nice, self-contained story that may just be my all-time favourite. I realize it was an update of the first Joker story, but that somehow added depth to it rather than detracted from it.
I liked the way Joker was thinking - his excellent planning and execution skills were well utilized, and the way Gordon and Batman reacted seemed true. Even the irritants of the politicians who succeed on the backs of others but never seem to fall with them were well done - included in such a way that they added to the story rather than made it a frustrating read.
I realize that this story has probably already been discussed to death, but I felt a strange need to share my rare bout of happiness with the quality of it.
cheers,
Andrew
