Batman vs. The Joker: Round 1 (again)

The story's been told and retold dozens of times, but DC is telling it again. Gotham Central writer Ed Brubaker tells the tale of the first meting between Batman and the Joker in a 64-page one-shot special, Batman: The Man Who Laughs, for $6.95 in February. Here's how DC describes it:
A mysterious homicidal maniac is killing prominent citizens of Gotham City, each time leaving an unusual calling card: a ghastly rictus grin plastered on the victims' lifeless faces. The Dark Knight Detective is on the case, and before long finds himself taking on the Clown Prince of Crime! This adventure establishes the conflict that rages to this day!
