Watch Batman: The Killing Joke For Free

Just what I expected

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Batman: The Killing Joke is adapted from the Alan Moore graphic comic.The animation is dark with some bone crunching violence, this is a cartoon not aimed at kids as it examines the violent psyche of the loony Joker (Mark Hamill) but also shows the character in more normal times in flashback.Batman (Kevin Conroy) plays second fiddle here as he tries to look for alternative ways to deal with the clown prince of crime who has escaped from the asylum again. The trouble is the film relegates Batman as a second fiddle to Batgirl who appears for the opening part of the film and tells of her relationship with Batman.This is one of these DVD releases that would go straight to pay television. It still comes across as being rather quickly and cheaply made. Hamill provides a good vocal performance.

Didn't cost me money and still felt like I was cheated. Batgirl was only interesting part of story which sets her up for follow-on storyline. Script and direction was a SHAM. Ending was pitiful. Only gave it these many stars because fight scenes were acceptable but obviously below average.

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.

If your a Batman fan, you probably love the Joker, and if your a major Batman fan who likes to read the comics, you probably like The Killing Joke. For those who somehow don't know The Killing Joke is a comic storyline that centers around or favorite clown prince of crime doing what he does best, messing with Batman and anyone who works with him. This comic has been praised for making Joker doing one of the most sadistic things he's ever done. First he cripples Barbra Gordon aka Batgirl, strips her and takes nudies of her. He then kidnaps Commissioner Gordon, strips him, makes him look at his own daughter naked and injured surrounded by freaks that you would see in a circus (obviously). The entire time Joker is trying to break Commissioner Gordon into killing Batman. Obviously Batman stops him. Before he's arrested Batman tells Joker he wants to help him, and Joker refuses saying that he's to far gone. He then tells a joke that's basically a way of him explaining how him and Batman are the same but different. Batman understanding what he's saying, laughs with the Joker, showing one of the most intimate and almost friendly times we've seen Batman be with one of his enemies. The movie takes this amazing comic and brings it into animated beauty that DC does. While it does add things such as the Barbra Gordon X Bruce Wayne sex scene which I would say I didn't enjoy, it's still amazing and should be watched, but knowing some of you who know of The Killing Joke, you've probably already seen it.
