After teasing us with the images “Scars” and “Damaged Goods” DC Comics have now released four full pages from Batman: Three Jokers #1, featuring Batman, Batgirl, a newly transformed Red Hood (NOT the Jason Todd variety) and the quotes “Being Better” and “Irredeemable”. Jason Fabok’s art on these pages is, of course, stunning.

As a huge fan of Batman: The Killing Joke, I’m both nervous and excited. Should anyone even attempt to follow up that legendary tome? Only time will tell, but Jason Fabok’s art is on a par with Brian Bolland’s, and Geoff Johns has already written the sequel to Alan Moore’s epic Watchmen…
I guess the proof will be in the puddin’.
