Batman
The Killing Joke 4/10
I
planned on seeing this at The Arclight because they had a one night
showing but saw a short clip of the movie that made me go “You know
what? I'll watch it online.” It is the scene that a lot of folks
are talking about with Batgirl ripping her costume off to fuck Batman
on a rooftop. If you've ever read The Killing Joke then you know that
this never happens. I don't mind when a movie or animated film makes
changes. Sometimes its for the better. But a huge chunk of the movie
is dedicated to this story of Batgirl being bad at her job, banging
Batman, losing her cool, quitting, and then getting shot and
photographed naked by the Joker in an attempt to drive Commissioner
Gordon insane.
This
part finally leads to the actual story that when animated made me
realize that it is too short to be a feature length animated movie
and this shouldn't have been made. They have a possible Joker origin
like the comic and everything. But that damned stuff at the beginning
just wasn't even a good story. The only part of this I truly enjoyed
was when Batman was going nuts looking for Joker and he busts into
this spot whipping all the ass and this one guy is like “I don't
need to lie to you. Calm your shit.” The animation is good. The
voices are perfect. The music is cool. But this was just not
necessary. I was so excited to see this and after watching it was
left feeling very meh.
