Review! Batman #17 (DC)

COVER: Tony Daniel. (variant) Why is the Joker crouching on a stool? It would have been just fine to
                 have him standing.

STORY: Scott Snyder. SPOILER! Final chapter of 'Death of the Family'. There was such a huge buildup
                with this story, it was actually well written. Then comes this book. WTF? Nothing happens. The
                Joker only "pretends" to hurt all of Batman's sidekicks. Nothing happens to them. When Batman
                is about to tell the Joker what his real name is...nothing happens. When Batman and the Joker
                have their final (again) fight...nothing happens. Why is DC afraid to pull the trigger with any
                Joker story? He is the Joker, he lives on the other side, take us there.

ART: Greg Capullo. Greg is Greg. Solid and dependable. A bit too cartoony at times but that comes from
           copying Todd Mcfarlane all those years.

FINAL FILE: BUY (to complete the story), READ ( so you can agree with me), BAG IT ( it is
                         a Joker story after all) !

Is the Joker taking a poop?

SO MUCH BLOOD!!...whatever.

Welcome to cartoon land!

...and nothing happens.
