Three of the most celebrated stories in Batman‘s long comic book history are being adapted into a new medium. Entertainment Weekly has announced that Titan Books are releasing a series of novels based on the Dark Knight’s adventures. Specifically, these are The Killing Joke by Christa Faust and Gary Phillips, Court of Owls by Greg Cox and Mad Love by Paul Dini and Pat Cadigan.
Pretty much every Batman fan will be familiar with The Killing Joke. Written by comic book legend Alan Moore, it’s often considered the definitive tale of the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime’s rivalry. It’s also been the cause of a lot of controversy over the years, though, due to the violent fate that befalls Barbara Gordon in the story. Hopefully, the novel can find a way to give Batgirl’s arc a lot more agency.
