Reviews

iancollazo This Film has dissapointed me and angered me in ways that few movies have, the first third of the film is one of the most horribly written films i have ever seen, and the other two thirds are almost a carbon copy of the comic its based on. This film is not worth watching. This film hurts me more than any other Batman film. The way they have written Barbara Gordon is so disrespectful, and this prologue has absolutely no impact on the story itself. Don't waste your time, watch Under The Red Hood instead.

midosadek While it is based on the great comic book of the same name this on screen Animated adaptation is not great its not good its decent

DCfan If you ignore the first part of you will be doing your self a big favour because I don't know why but it just focuses on Batgirls relationship with BATMAN! her RELATIONSHIP WITH BATMAN. Barbra is like 16-19 in this movie and Bruce is like in his 30's-40's. Guess what happens? Answer: they have SEX with each other on top of a rooftop. Like what the hell was Timm thinking it is just plain disgusting and disturbing. How a great DC Animated creator like him put this in his movie. The rest of the first half of the movie was just bad because the villain Paris falls in love with Batgirl.My recommendation skip the first part of the movie if you are here to see The Killing Joke movie and not some 36 years old man making out with his son's girlfriend. Trust me you will be doing your self a big favour.

destinylives52 Based on the one-shot comic book of the same title from the late 1980s, "Batman: The Killing Joke" is a disturbing story that deals with four main issues: Joker's vicious assault on Batgirl; Batman's uneasy alliance/relationship with Batgirl; Joker's origin story; and Batman's perverse affinity for The Joker.After an unnecessarily lengthy intro of Batgirl's/Batman's relationship which doesn't truly mesh with the second and third acts (said intro not part of the comic book, as far as I can remember), "Killing Joke" gets to the meat of the story, when The Joker attacks Batgirl and kidnaps her father, who is Police Commissioner Gordon. Batman goes on a rampage, going after every criminal he comes upon to get evidence of where The Joker is. But when Batman finally finds The Joker, will it be too late? Will The Joker bring out the madness in Commissioner Gordon? Will Batman finally succumb to his own rage and kill The Joker?My most memorable, movie moment of "Batman: The Killing Joke" is **SPOILER ALERT** the scene when Batgirl, not in costume, opens her apt. door expecting a friend and instead sees The Joker pointing a gun to her stomach.Fans of the source material — I'm one — will most likely not find this adaptation as satisfying as the original. The comic was less than 48 pages if my memory serves me correctly, and in those few pages it packed one hell of a story that was well-paced and intense. This movie, by expanding a short story into near-feature length, adds scenes and sequences that slow the movie down. Yes, the extra stuff adds backstory which yields greater understanding of the main characters; but the pacing and high intensity are sacrificed.Although far from being great, "Batman: The Killing Joke" is a good movie; and Mark Hamill's performance as The Joker is outstanding, as usual.Mannysmemorablemoviemoments
