In the summer event Knight Terrors, the world has been put to sleep. Heroes and villains have been fighting their nightmares, and readers have gotten to know the characters a little more. Knight Terrors: The Joker #2 has had the Joker living a life that’s pretty domestic. A job at Wayne Enterprises, he now has a wife and kid. The Joker’s nightmares have been terrifying and horrific…but what does the Clown Prince of Crime have locked away that might be the most disturbing reveal of the year?!
Written by Matthew Rosenberg, Knight Terrors: The Joker #2 has been twistedly fun and funny. Batman may or may not be dead but it’s the Joker fighting against his nature that delivers the most entertaining moments of the comic. Him dealing with HR, bosses, meetings, it all creates a comic that skewers the workplace and Batman and the Joker in general. An amazing sequence has the Joker going back and forth with Mr. Freeze about his name. A discussion about the Joker not being as much fun in the office. The Joker moonlighting. It all comes together for a comic that delivers laughs but also goes a bit deeper about the corporate grind.
The art by Stefano Raffaele with color by Romulo Fajardo Jr., and lettering by Tom Napolitano is fantastic. It creates a slight horrific vibe throughout the comic without being distracting. There’s a slight twisted take and look to it all that reminds you it’s a dream and fits that concept so well. Mix it together that this is the Joker’s mind we’re in and the end result is a comic that nails its concept like no other. It fits so well in every way.
Knight Terrors: The Joker #2 is an excellent comic that works so well on its own, separate from the event. There’s a twisted humor about it all. It’s a comic where you’ll laugh but not want to because it’s so out there… in a good way. There’s also a fantastic underlying gutting of the corporate drone world. All together, this is an event tie-in that stands out from the pack.
