Batman Killing Joke is out

[John Reena]

It's been so long since I read Killing Joke. Forgot how depraved Joker was in it. The ending is my fav ending of a comic.

 

[Ironman]

Yeah I don't see it as sexist. It's a fukked up story with fukked up acts committed by a fukked up character. It's not going to be pretty nor should it. But this does make her look weak and like a school girl with a crush rather than an accomplished crime fighter

Agreed

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

I enjoyed the movie. Mark Hamill still got it after all these years.

The Joker`s back story was decent although I feel like they could've dug deeper. The batgirl story/narrative was kind of unnecessary to the purpose of the film.

Animation was on point. The Joker looked scary and crazy. Kind of reminiscent of batman the animated series.

The movie itself could've been 2hrs, but it's all good.

I would say that it's probably on the level of batman under the red hood.

Mark Hamill great as always, The Killing Joke itself is great, animations a bit stiff, I feel that it's a bit of feminist propaganda, the Batgirl short story, they could have spent the time doing either a joker short story before doing the killing joke or having Batgirl and Batman doing something that joker related....

Alan Moore isn't it great writer for women, but Bat girl as a character on her own isn't even that great, it felt like a waste of energy to put that short in the beginning of the movie, they could have just put that as part of a solo bat girl movie

I've read a lot of complaints about the Batman/Batgirl relationship. Is everyone forgetting that Batman/Batgirl had a relationship in one of the most celebrated verses in DC, the DCAU?



They even expanded on it in the Batman Beyond comics recently. I liked Bruce Timm's explanation for it - "It's wrong...but it's supposed to be." It's really not a hard concept for me to grasp like it apparently is for some people.

Maybe it just feels tacked on. I haven't seen it.

Yet.

went to see this last night in the theater. it was packed in there, and they were doing multiple theaters for a 730 and a 1030 show.

i was sitting there waiting for babs and bats to get it in. but dikk grayson aint in the movie, so to me it didnt really carry the same weight it does in the Beyond book.

they showed this Mark Hammil short about how he came to be the joker and how he feels about portraying him. that was before the movie started, then after there was a doc about making the movie. i left before that started though.

I feel that it's a bit of feminist propaganda, the Batgirl short story,

LOLWUT?

Feminists are the main ones complaining about it,

 

[Heelmatic]

so this is mediocre?

Mediocre pretty much describes it perfectly, unfortunately

Downloaded it, watched 30 minutes cut that shyt off and deleted it.
One of the worst DC animated movies I've seen.

 

[JahFocus CS]

Watching now... Batman is #HOH as hell in this movie

 

[lamont614]

Just seen it at the theatre its 8/10 mark Hamil carried that shyt nikka had me crying soon as he stepped on the scene dope watching it with people in theatre I didn't like the ending tho

 

[The Guru]

It was ok..Didn't live up to my expectation. Def had moments.

Spoiler

Gordon stripped naked, made to watch video of his daughter being raped in the haunted house

 

[lamont614]

So she did get raped ? I thought the rape scene would be worse I kept bracing myself for it
The. Batgirl story threw me off I thought they was going make the first bad guy the joker

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

I didnt get the ending... The movie was underwhelming, it felt more of a drama piece than thriller or action

The ending is meant to be interperted to a deeper meaning i get it, but we've already disected Batman and Joker's relationship
It cant get any deeper to what we can interperet
