au_gold 10/02/19 6:21:07 AM #1:	Its basically a Batgirl melodrama until Barbara gets shot in the stomach and raped. Did Joker actually do that in the source material? That was pretty harsh.

AlisLandale 10/02/19 6:25:04 AM #2:	He doesnt rape her in the source material, but he does take pictures of her naked, unconscious body to fuck with Gordon. Also all that Barb stuff is exclusive to the movie. Shes a bit player in the comic. They added it so it would be long enough for a full movie. --- https://i.imgtc.com/8ePXf9B.gif If Yamcha would have brought his bat along he'd have blasted Jiren out of the ring like Ness in smash brothers. - Gids_goft <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:928223713] in So, I watc...

CyricZ 10/02/19 6:36:08 AM #4:	Bruce Timm has a massive hard-on for BrucexBarbara. It was present throughout the DCAU and in this as well. Unfortunately, The Killing Joke was a masterclass in imagery, dialogue, pacing, and timing, and throwing in a 45-minute prologue that ultimately doesn't apply to the main story is doing it a massive disservice. Would have worked better if TKJ was presented as part of a double feature with an unrelated short Batman story. I own it, but have no desire to watch it again. :-/ --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:928223876] in So, I watc... [t:78057322]...</cite> <quote>Bruce Timm has a massive hard-on for BrucexBarbara.
