Superman: Emperor Joker
It was an ok Superman event... kind of paralel with Marvel's House of M event. Mad character bends reality to his/her image and characters in this new altered reality don't remember the original reality and just play their new roles in this new altered reality. These are the basics of both Emperor Joker and House of M.
I am usually really antusiastic about writing a review about the comics, i read, but i feel reluctant to write anything about Emperor Joker, it seems it wasn't my kind of thing, it was crazy... Too Crazy for my taste, but it had an excuse to be that crazy because Emperor Joker reality in the story was a product of Joker's insane mind. The art was incosistent even if the book was just the main event, it seems that was how things were with events back then. I am glad the events were short back then, enduring Emperor Joker's 50 + tie ins would be a nightmare.
What Batman went through could be executed better, it was kind of unimaginative and short... I give Emperor Joker a 6/10. Actually the overall execution was kind of unimaginative, but then again the idea of Joker couldn't come up with anything better kind of saves it, but still... not really my kind of thing.
