Barbara and Bruce? Why? Makes no goddamn sense and completly changes Batmans motivations.

So that's what happened to Barbara. Always wondered how she ended up in the chair. The ending with the Joker and Batman just having a laugh really caught me off guard. Brilliant.

In the first half of the film I was very surprised to see the bad reviews on this film. But by the end of the film I could see why. I can't say much without spoiling anything, but the unnecessary playtime, highlighting characters that you don't really need to know about or if you did didn't connect with the whole Joker story. Regardless, I rated this film an 8, because of the very talented animation and (with the help of a R rated) helped the "adult" version of a Batman vs. Joker work out. I loved this film in the end, finally seeing the dark history of the Joker and how he became "crazy".

I read the HQ and I confess that I was disappointed with the movie. Half of the story is rambling, and when they follow the story of the HQ, they follow frame for frame. The story doesn't even innovate in anything.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I know the decision to pair Batman and Batgirl is controversial, but Timm & Co. have previously planted the seeds for this sort of thing in *Batman Beyond*, so it didn't bother me the way it seems to have bothered many. I also appreciated that rather More

Well, this is a shame. This comic is one of the best of all time. Seriously, it is amazing. So you'd think that a animated movie adaptation from it would be great for sure.

And then you start the movie and it is about Batgirl going on a random, generic mission. Batgirl getting annoyed and ang More

Well this was a flat joke.

Batman: The Killing Joke is one of the best graphic novel ever written by Alan Moore. It's dark, haunting and really engaging. It took two iconic characters Batman/Joker and dissects the relationship between the two and how both of them tick. It's such an intere More

OK, so I'll admit I was expecting something closer to the graphic novel, and I was pretty disappointed that it only really loosely followed something that was epicly brilliant as the comic.

However, I'm not a stickler for total accuracy.

And, really it is better than most of the other Batman m More
