gorgonine's review against another edition
2.0
this is a very weird showcase the titular character is barely there in like half the stories.
It also puts me in the unusual position of liking the silver age stories best because at least they had characterization? And yeah it's pretty basic characterization, but that's still better than the rest.
The first 90s story was just weird and pointless action panels, but the second had a certain amount of charm despite being weird. But you know- it still leaves too many questions unanswered.
the New 52 storyline is basically just another creepy gotham villain. Which you know, isn't reallyt bad in of itself but the first part of it was some real eyerollworthy shit which i think tried to show The Depths To Which Humans Can Sink To which seems excessive and pointless because the news already does that.

I read this while in the middle of Batman: Eternal to get a better understanding of Joker's Daughter. I guess I know who she is now? The first half felt unnecessarily long since the New 52 appearances retcon it all anyways.
To be fair though I much prefer the earlier interpretation of a Girl who can convince herself she's anybody's Daughter than the much edgier New 52 stuff. Nonetheless, this compilation was well put together and did technically give me a better understanding of this character.
