While it may seem instinctual to want an R-rated “Batman,” especially from a graphic novel that would deserve the rating without alterations, Batman: The Killing Joke is borderline unsettling — and not in a good way.

-HONEST REVIEW TO HELP THE UNDECIDED= DECIDE...
-I'm over 40 now and have been reading/collecting Batman since "Knightfall" aka Azrael = Bane breaking batmans back and Azrael taking over the batman role.)))
--This is the best Animated Batman ive seen.. And Ive seen em all..
-Its not better then the Red Hood or Dark Knight returns part 1(pr 2)
BUT ITS NOT THAT KIND OF MOVIE...
==This combines one of the best Batman comic stories EVER with OUR BATMAN.
our Kevin Conroy and Mark **** that's missing is NOLAN north.(But hes there too.)
--This movie isn't supposed to outshine or be bette rthen the comic...
NO MOVIE IS BETTER THEN THE BOOK----FACT! DUH!!
~~~Because the book uses youre/my imagination for what the Joker is thinking and motive etc..
---But it adds to ****--atleast it did with me,...
--It shows the Joker IS NOT crazy- Just extremely intelligent. so much that he is lost & confused with a world in slow motion...This why The Joker is a better villain then Lex **** doesn't want to kill the **** doesn't even want to know who he is..
==The Sex Scene---
=People must remember= Batman IS NOT & never was a role **** so what if he doesn't stop a young adult female from getting hers....Batmnan is-NOT her father figure & never was...Even the Arkham video games made this obvious...
===Batman also isn't the police. Wwhat would the commish do if he found out she is Batgirl? he would hate batman. Just like in Arkham Knight game...Batman didn't screw Batgirl. She seduced him...
===I was impressed with the acting in this..Probably the best Konroy has done with the Bat & The Joker is on par with the cartoon series with Harley & the Arkham games...
---They added the sex scene cause it needed to be explored how batman is a man & what hetero sexually active, non married man wouldn't *&^())^(&* a hot 20 year old woman making an advance....
--Shows me which fans never were active in theyre party days...
--I feel guilty for not buying this and getting the **** a worthy buy...

Faithful adaptation of the comic without the Batgirl prologue, I don't have that much of a problem with it as Batgirl doesn't really do that much in the comic anyway so yeah. Just think of the prologue as a separate short rather than attached to the main comic, it's worth your time if you're a Batman or even a Superman fan because the comic and the movie adaptation is really different and special from the other great Batman stories. Prologue = 7/10 Killing Joke = 10/10

The Killing Joke was an outstandingly amazing graphic **** movie however, is...a mediocre disappointment. Kevin Conroy's Batman and Mark Hamill's Joker were, as usual, amazing. My main problem with the film was just the first 45 minutes of the film. It has a really stupid setup that wasn't even in the graphic novel. Other than that, it somewhat does justice to the graphic novel.

Very good movie. Once again Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy both embody the Joker and Batman. A very interesting and awesome story. I'm very impressed on how this one turned out. It's great that the movie was rated R. No holding back on the violence and tone.

This film is shockingly terrible in a way I didn't think possible. NOTHING in this film works. The pre-amble about Batgirl is weird, meandering, and confusing. The animation uses the phenomenal artwork of Brian Bolland as Keyframes. This means that characters rarely move out of their blocked out positions in the comic book. Everyone feels stiff as they slide from pose to pose. Dramatic monologs that should have facial animations to match the intensity of the scene come off as flat and lifeless. NOTHING in the film is as dramatic as it should be. Terrfied people never seem terrified, scared people never seem truly scared, and angry people never feel angry. And this is supposed to be a story about the heights of all of those emotions.
It's just a mess.
