If anything, it would made more sense for Bruce and Babs to start an intimate relationship after the Joker shot her and while Babs is Oracle. This is the first time ever that Bruce Timm just dropped the ball on something :heh:

i didnt understand the final joke
Click to expand...

The final joke sums up Batman's & the Joker's relations overall..... in the beginning of the ACTUAL story (excluding the whole Batman/Batgirl relationship bullshyt), Batman went to the Joker's cell to ask him about his personal concern that one day, they'll eventually kill each other, that there's practically nothing preventing that to happen. However, he HOPED if he can get through the Joker on some olive branch type shyt, one killing the other COULD BE adverted. So when it came to the end, Batman told Joker that maybe they BOTH need some help and together make peace. In response to this, the Joker made the Joke about two lunatics (Batman & Joker) trying to escape and having to walk across this pit with just one flashlight. He poses the question of how could one can TRUST the other if that other is going to turn the flashlight off midway from walking across, alluding to BOTH of them eventually falling down the abyss. In other words, the Joker or Batman would BOTH be willing to change but ONE of them is going to curt the flashlight off halfway through that journey and they'll forever fall. Batman GOT the joke and eventually kills him....that's why it was only HIS laugh at the end. Basically, he was the one metaphorically holding the flashlight.

That's why that joke was called "the KILLING JOKE"

You're overcomplicating it. Unless they completely changed it from the comic, you missed the point of the joke IMO.

These two guys are trying to escape from an asylum and just need to jump across a gap on a rooftop to escape. One guy jumps (and makes it) but the other guy is too scared to jump. So the first guy decides that he'll help him by using is flashlight to shine across the gap so the other guy can walk across it. However, the other guy is worried about the flashlight being turned off when he should be worried about the fact that you can't walk across a beam of light.

The joke is that both of these guys are so crazy that it doesn't occur to them that you can't walk across a beam of light. The one guy's attempt to help the other guy is doomed to fail anyway because he's just as insane. Whether he turned the flashlight off or not the guy would still fall because you can't walk across light.


It's a metaphor about how futile it is for one crazy person to try to help another.

No...one guy makes it HALFWAY... then turns off the flashlight. That's the JOKE. The joke is to suggest that neither one can fully escape. This was the reason why Batman kills him because he gets it.

No, the guy refused to even go because he was afraid that the other guy would turn it off while he was halfway across. The joke being that he was worried about the wrong thing.

Like I said, unless they completely changed it from the comics which would be ridiculous.

I'm not the biggest fan of the killing joke story; however, its a movie about the killing joke story , what the fukk do people expect :russ:.

Regardless, I felt like this was a ok adaption and it is hands down the most uneasy, scary, and nerve recking Batman movie I've ever saw.

Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill shines.

My biggest complaint about the movie is that it felt like two separate movies to me.

Yep. I think a lot of people are critiquing the film when the second half was pretty close to the source material. The first half I can't defend, but Batman is obviously a member of the #HOH movement.
