[Killing joke]:Waterloo of DC Animation

This animation can be said to have completely opened the precedent for DC animation and there is no lack of mediocre works. The lightning paradox accumulated before and the character of the return of the black knight are all lost.

The original plot that drags time is the failure of this work. The villain is very interesting, but it ends before the climax, and the meaning is still unfinished; the whole film is also, I feel that the performance is always a breath away in every aspect, and it ends before the climax, and the meaning is still unfinished. My personal interpretation of the ending of the original is different from the film: the laughter of two people, the lights in the distance (police car?), the bloodstains of fighting, and the madness of human nature are all drowned in the raindrops on the last page; people too A fragile life is too small, no matter how strong the will is, it is possible to be destroyed by a joke of fate, no matter how great a struggle is, but a tear in the rainstorm, and the preciousness of human nature is the teardrop knowing one’s insignificance and the destiny of destruction. , Still have to reflect the light of lightning, this light cannot be covered by darkness. I think the moral of "Fatal Joke" is greater than the story, and I am not very satisfied with this film. one bad day. Uncle Kevin’s dubbing is also a bit off-standard. Only Skywalker didn’t let me down. The Dark Force was really powerful; Hamill’s clown improvisation on the show was also both godlike and godlike. I think he and Wilhelmda are the most suitable clowns. Blessed. I always feel that American animation is short of emotional rendering. It is not like the second stage play of Japanese animation, but it is really short; for example, in "Red Hood", Jason asked why the bat didn't kill the clown. , A line of the bat is not unmoving, but did not give the audience time to digest the line psychologically, Jason immediately took the following scenes, very "rush"; like "Red Hood", "The Dark Knight Returns" like this The same is true for this film. Many heavy blanks and storyboards in the comics have been hurriedly taken, and the plot has become dull, and people have to sigh the sigh of the comics that make people breathless after reading. Advantages: 1. It is definitely the return of Mark and Uncle Kevin. The most classic Batman voice and the most classic Joker voice are reproduced again and feel very shocking 2. R-level processing, I always think that the r-level animation film is the way that American comics should go to adult animation. Some of the fatal jokes of adult processing are refreshing, and they are concentrated in the original plot at the beginning, to Barbara. The extreme character treatment of ”is very appetizing to me. Many adult or quasi-adult comic fans have long been tired of traditional young comics who are motivated by pure justice and freedom and are determined to fight evil characters. Since they can’t behave like the comics. Slowly create characters, OK, why not make it cool? An important motivation for Barbara to become Batgirl in this fatal joke is to have a twisted worship of the master, and even lead to a very controversial sex, and I Personally, I think that Barbara has never experienced any major changes in her life, and her growth environment is very healthy. As a young girl, she has no reason to give up her comfortable life and come forward. The idol worship of a girl can make the character more Three-dimensional is more convincing. My attitude towards this kind of "destroying the character" is that as long as it does not affect the official history and has a reasonable logic, the more such things, the better, and the imperfections of this approach in this film are a second story. In other respects, the explicit lines and plot design in the movie are also very interesting, adding a lot of points to the movie, which can be said to be a very interesting attempt. 3. The original work bonus, the height of the original work probably doesn't need me to repeat. Alan Moore has always been the most hanging comics screenwriter in my heart, and the deadly joke is also one of the most important Batman comics. Disadvantages: 1. The production is too watery. Several of the Batman's animated films adapted from classic works are all very well produced, regardless of the lens or the soundtrack, and the fatal joke that explores the innermost characters of the characters should be accompanied by more sophisticated points. The soundtrack is a mirror, but it is obvious that the executives have deducted a lot of money this time, and the presence of the soundtrack is close to zero, and some classic shots without excellent soundtracks seem to be embarrassing. There are several punishments (the one I remember most is the conversation with his wife in the memory of the ugly master) is a disaster. The painting of the entire movie is so-so, much simpler than before, and the number of frames can drive people crazy. This is definitely not a production issue. If the high-level funding is adequately realized, the above-mentioned problems will not arise. 2. For the original plot issue, I said that I really like to deal with Barbara’s bold personality, but whether it is suitable for this work is another matter. Obviously, the screenwriter hopes to make good use of the r-level condition and write about Barbara. Character, but the plot point of the obvious story is not originally on her. Sex, violent beating of the gangster, emotional entanglement with the master. Such an expressive character has nothing to do with the plot of the next hour. This kind of treatment can be said to put the cart before the horse for the integrity of the story, not to say that Barbara’s character creation It cannot be combined with a classic story, but the screenwriter has not thought of a perfect solution at all. In the first 20 minutes, although there are many highlights in many places, the overall is still full of strange logic, the inexplicable nympho villain, and Barbara, who is disturbed physically and mentally by blowing a kiss. These flaws coupled with the seriousness and drama of the overall style of the original plot really make people dumbfounded. There is also a section in which Director Gordon was tortured. The screenwriter and director seemed to deal with the embarrassment of passersby. 3. Dubbing: Uncle Mark’s clown soundtrack saves the movie in a certain sense. The most exciting part is the statement of "crazy" when the clown and the master are in the mirror maze. It is also a very exciting section, but except for Uncle Mark’s clown, the other dubbing personally think it is not good, and Uncle Kevin’s performance is also very good, but the director obviously did not take advantage of this, so the whole movie Uncle Kevin’s voice is completely absent. It feels a pity where I played. Barbara’s dubbing is pretty smooth, but it’s not pretty in a few places where it needs to be played, and Uncle Mark’s dubbing of the normal clowns is not very satisfactory (maybe these other people’s dubbing, I don’t know. The most hateful thing is Gordon’s dubbing. The clown tortured Gordon because he wanted to prove that the strongest people would become as crazy as him in the face of disaster. So Gordon in the movie should at least be a daring to fight Old and strong image, but... Uncle Mark’s clown soundtrack saves the movie in a certain sense. The most exciting part is the statement of "crazy" when the clown and the master are dealing in the maze of mirrors. This section is pitted by the score of the soundtrack and it is also very exciting. In a passage, except for Uncle Mark’s clown, the other dubbing I personally think are not good, and Uncle Kevin’s performance is also very good, but the director obviously did not take advantage of this, so the entire movie Uncle Kevin’s voice is completely lacking. It feels a pity. Barbara’s dubbing is pretty smooth, but it’s not pretty in a few places where it needs to be played, and Uncle Mark’s dubbing of the normal clowns is not very satisfactory (maybe these other people’s dubbing, I don’t know.

  • [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]
