Every psychopath has a starting point and needs some comfort.

At the beginning, most of the pages are about the story of Batman, Batgirl and a criminal named Paris. Batman feels that Batgirl is after all a pattern, and does not want her to deal with such a dangerous enemy, so she strongly forbids her to go on a mission together. Batgirl didn't like to be restricted and protected like this, so she had a quarrel with Batman, and they had sex frantically under the gaze of the devil sculpture. . . . . . [most loved scene LOL]

After capturing Paris, followed by a spooky murder scene, typical Joker's work.
Go back to the prison and ask the Joker to find that the Joker has escaped long ago, and the prison is a substitute.
The Joker pulls a bunch of freaks and buys a playground, shoots Barbara, takes Sheriff Gordon and invites Batman to his deadly banquet.

The story is constantly interspersed with the story of how the Joker became the Joker as the plot unfolds.
The sad reality finally drove him crazy.
He feels that Batman is a kind of person to him; he feels that he is the epitome of Gotham; he feels that the ultimate destiny of human beings is to become crazy.
Batman beat him with three punches and two kicks, and told him that

no matter how hard life is, no matter how difficult it is, everyone has the right to choose.
The clown tortured Sheriff Gordon frantically, and Sheriff Gordon's faith was still standing after the test.
Maybe only the Joker himself is crazy.
Many people will experience extremely desperate and extremely dark moments,
but no matter how difficult life is, no matter what kind of predicament they encounter, everyone has the right to choose.

You can also choose to be a good person.

At the last moment that could have killed Batman, the Joker's gun was a toy gun, an apt, deadly joke.

Instead of beating him up as usual, Batman put him in jail and ended the story.
He makes a friendly invitation to the Joker, hoping to help him get back on track.
The Joker refuses and tells a joke about the scene.
The two laughed together, leaning back and forth, as if they had known each other for many years.



It's an interesting ending.

The film has been implying that the fate of the two of them is life and death.
But at least this time, that didn't happen.

The poker-faced poker-faced Master Bruce, who has always been stern and has been described by Batgirl as emotionless, was amused by the joker's jokes, and he laughed soberly. [doge]

Joker's past memories keep repeating that he was an entertainment star who couldn't make the audience laugh.
But at this moment, he amused probably the most difficult person in the world to laugh at.

In the film, Batman says
How can two people hate so much without knowing each other?

He and the Joker barely know each other, but they both hate each other deeply.
But at this moment, no one knows each other better and understands each other's feelings better than them.

The emphasis on fighting and exciting scenes in the film is seldom
more focused on the description of the psychological changes and growth of the characters.
And combined with the eye-catching ending, it gave us a deadly but safe joke.
In fact, the setting of the film is very profound and profound. The
problem is that the Paris story in front and the clown story in the back lack connection, which is very incompatible
and the level of the two stories is a bit different. It
feels like two stories are forcibly pieced together. this movie. .
Slightly sorry.




An interesting scene in the film, where the damaged neon lights flash in endorsement of Batman.

Gotham Warehouse → Gotham's Rage


Inverted room, extreme madness

Batman: The Killing Joke quotes

  • [first lines]

    Barbara Gordon: First of all, I realize this is probably not how you thought the story would start, not with a big shiny moon or a city that could look stunning in spite of itself... Or me. But I wanted you to know before the horror began, before it all came crashing down, there was a time when capes and cowls and fighitng crime really was exciting.

  • [Batgirl has Batman pinned down. She suddenly stops and notices the position she's in. She stares down at Batman, then begins passionately kissing him. Batman hesitates, then wraps his hands behind her back. Batgirl slowly sits up. As she does, Batman touches her butt. She takes her mask and cape off. The camera pans up as she takes off her top, exposing her bra. It then cuts to the next morning. Barbara is in her bathroom, in her tank top and undies. She stares at her reflection]

    Barbara Gordon: Barbara Kathleen Gordon, what the hell have you done?
