AB In  this  article  we  study  different  notions  of  happiness  that  can  be  deduced  from  the  attitudes that Batman and Joker expose in The Killing Joke. Published in 1988, this graphic novel  was  written  by  Alan  Moore  and  illustrated  by  Brian  Bolland,  both  of  them  being  famous British artists. Although these two comic book characters’ behaviours oppose to a large extent the possibility of being happy, we as readers can extract valuable lessons from their respective performances and build a space for our own happiness through a compre-hensive reading of their misadventures. In this sense, we adopt a classic perspective based on Horace’s Ars Poetica and Stoicism in order to read the aforementioned misadventures with full awareness. Therefore, we think both the Horatian and the Stoic guidelines gene-rate narrative resources and conceptions that, respectively, can be extrapolated to various artistic  genres  (from  theatre  and  poetry  to  cinema  and  comics).  Finally,  we  propose  the  compound felicreatividad  to  explain  how  creativity  is  one  of  the  major  keys  that  brings  human beings closer to the doors of happiness, which we understand to be an expression free of its two extremes: euphoria and conformism.
