At the Movies!

[CLXcool]

I don't believe I ever gave my thoughts about The Killing Joke. I saw it on the big screen when it had the limited theatrical run and I personally loved it. I revisited the film after I found out about how people were sort of ticked off after they found out about one particular scene with Batgirl. Now. I will say that scene didn't actually bother me since I've seen worse things to complain about on film. But if you look at it more closely. Batgirl wanted a bigger piece of the action that Batman was getting when it came to fighting crime. In the end. She ended up getting the bite that she couldn't chew, and she turned in the cape. Now, the writing on that could've been a bit better. 

One thing that really made this movie for me was(you guessed it) Mark Hamhill's performance as the joker for this. He literally steals the show for it. I think it was better that they adapted this as an animated film rather than making it a live-action film. It wouldn't have the same feel of the shocking elements that happened in the comic. Now. I haven't read the comic but I do plan on reading it soon after watching this. I personally felt like this was the fresh air I needed, and this would've been the PERFECT way to kickstart the idea of bringing back adult animation to theaters rather than relying ona stoner comedy about food. But alas, it was only released for a limited release(which thankfully managed to make back its budget).
