It's unfortunate and honestly shocking how the addition of a 30 minute prologue focusing on Barbara Gordon detracts from the film and makes the story's treatment of her character even more problematic.

someone save barbara gordon from being degraded for the sake of the plot

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

BATMAN BANGS

never thought that a 72 minute long movie centered around one of the most disturbing and provocative comic books ever written could be made boring af but somehow these guys did it

I cannot emphasize how loud my bark of amazed laughter was when batman said, outraged, "no, he's objectified you!" to batgirl as though he and THE ENTIRE MOVIE did not do EXACTLY THE SAME FUCKING THING like boys ......... you cannot just appropriate feminist terminology while simultaneously aggressively promoting the very reason it is necessary. though I guess it was truly incredible to appreciate that all the men involved in making this had only one (1) brain cell that they popped out and shared between them like dollar store Fates

Who the hell thought the stuff with Barbara was a good idea?
You guys literally had everything you needed to do this right and some weirdo perve got a hold of it

Maybe the most famous Batman and Joker story is now overshadowed by Bruce nailing Babs on a roof and her acting like a needy teenager. Good job guys.

Bruh this was so fucking bad lol. The only parts I liked about it were the flashaback scenes where the Joker became the Joker. To be honest Mark Hamil was the only good actor here, everyone else was at their low. This movie at time was so cringe and a lot of the dialogue was so bad and at times it didn’t even feel like a dark movie like it tried to be, it just felt like a more adult episode of one of the animated shows. Fucking Batman and Batgirl have fucking sex out of nowhere and for no reason like what the fuck. Also the ending is a bruh moment literally the ending made no sense and was garbage. So that’s about it lol.

An absolute bore

DC has long treated Alan Moore’s works like the ubiquitous Eric Andre Show meme, shooting themselves in the foot and blaming it on the darkness he ostensibly brought to the medium. That ongoing legacy, particularly the incessant mythologizing of the Batman/Joker relationship ever since, sours watching this animated adaptation, despite the expected strong work from Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. What really kills the fun here though is the tacked-on prologue, an embarrassingly unsuccessful effort to adjust the problematic treatment of Batgirl. That’s an original contribution; there’s no one else to blame.

This one catches unnecessary hate. They needed to make a story that takes 20 minutes to read fill a full-length time slot. I understand that people were upset about the creative liberties taken with the story, but let’s be realistic here; do you really think Batman HASN’T fucked Batgirl? Bruce Wayne can (and usually does) have any woman he wants. Why WOULDN’T he want that fiery redhead? Just because you want to believe Bruce hasn’t laid the pipe to Babs, doesn’t mean he hasn’t.

if the whole movie was a short of the last 30 minutes it'd be pretty good! too bad you gotta get through like 50 minutes of uninspired boring misogynist gross shit first. and some really weird bat sex.

The ending is exactly the same as in "Mask Of The Phantasm", the Joker makes a joke and Batman laughs with the Joker

An iconic comic brought to the big screen. Not amazing, but I did enjoy seeing it in theaters with my friend.

The classic comic is brought to life. A little less shocking than the comic mostly due to extra scenes not found in the original material.

isso aqui foi traumatizante demais pra mim meu deus só que o joker como sempre impecável

bruce timm you are a weirdo

Give me the book over this any day.

The Killing Joke is one of my favorite comic book story arcs. But it doesn’t really work as an animated movie. I still love what it’s trying to bring and it surely does bring plenty of innovation.
