Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke is one of the most iconic graphic novels in the DC catalog, a psychodrama between Batman and the Joker that drags Barbara and Jim Gordon in as tortured victims. Controversial (as so much of Moore's work is, and not without some justification in this case), it's still a remarkable work in my opinion.
This new animated feature is, based on the trailer … interesting. On the one hand, with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill back to voice Batman and the Joker, there's a lot of faboo going on along the audio front. On the other hand, I hope this is an early version of the animation, because the frame rate seems awfully choppy.
And it's rated R, which — well, we'll see. I've seen some pretty violent animated DC features in the past that didn't carry that rating, and while the graphic novel is by no means kiddie fare — well, like I said, we'll see.
Nah, just Moore fed up with the idiocy of Bats letting the Joker live no matter what, and rubbing everybody’s nose in it. Dead right, of course.
Or that’s what I got out of it when I finally read it after being told many times how great it was. Prime Girls In Refrigerators example too.
