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.

Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, released in 1988, was an influential comic at the time, but even its creator soon lambasted its violent, excessive attempt at diving into the crazed minds of heroes and villains. To quote Moore, "I don’t think that the world needs that many brooding psychopathic avengers". It's an ideal which DC abruptly ignores, trampling over the vibrant, kooky stories of Batman's golden age (Dick Sprang bringing color to full lucidity) in favor of Snyder's oppressive (although not without merit) vision. But The Killing Joke still had its attributes, mainly in Brian Holland's pristine illustrations and the demented final moment between Batman and the clown prince of crime.

DC, you had one job and one heck of a source material—a story widely regarded as one of the greatest, not just in Batman lore, but in comic book history.
All you had to do was animate the thing, but no, you had to make it all about Batgirl instead of the "two guys in a lunatic asylum" and tack on a needless romantic subplot that no one wants to see, ultimately disrespecting the…

ignoring the fact that Bruce Timm is just too damn horny and Batman having sex with Batgirl is so bad on several levels, it’s actually shocking how actively mysoginistic the movie is.
How do you even fuck up The Killing Joke this badly? just use the comic as a storyboard and let Mark Hamill do his thang
