Was actually talking about this today. Going back and reading it, she jobs pretty hard and it kinda ruins the story. Like, it would be really really good if it was a Batman elseworlds where there are no other supers so shit like this happens, but jobbing always takes me out of the story and I don't think Batgirl would just stand there terrified if the Joker showed up at her door. I would think there would be some kind of fight or struggle.

Why do they only do adaptations of things they will inevitably fuck up?

No, I think that's why it's so bad. He just wanted to tell his story and didn't think about the wider context of the world it takes place in. He picked the wrong medium. Or maybe he just hates women or Babs specifically. He's kinda a nut
>>
>>78606265
It's not bad though, so I don't see your point.
>>
>>78605587
She opens the door, is surprised to see him standing there and he shoots. How is there any time to struggle for anything?
>>
>>78606385
He doesn't shoot until the cup drops pretty sure. Like, she just stood there terrified letting him shoot her. It literally destroys my ability to take the rest of it seriously because it just becomes the same level of quality of every rape fantasy I've ever read, and I've read lots considering it's my fetish

I hope the staff is taking great care to get the final carnival scenes right. Plus the scenes where Joker tortures Gordon.

I really hope the SJW don't ruin it.

Eh... you're right, but it doesn't ruin the book for me.
>>
>>78606463
You need to reread the comic bud. Cup dropped after the bullet was in her spine. The comic made no indication that Babs had time to react, and given the context of the universe when the story was written, she hadn't put on the costume in a long while. What's bullshit is Arkham Knight's re-imagining of the scene where the Joker is at the door, announces something, pulls out the weapon from a box , and then shoots Babs, who was in her prime as Batgirl at that point.
>>
>>78602695
they still making this rated R?
>>
>>78610221
Yes.
>>
>>78606870
>rated R

Timm confirmed that was a false rumor. They're way too far away from release for it to be given a rating.
>>
>>78606385
this is someone that Bats trained, remember? tell me Bats doesn't have a dozen ways to get out of that situation, even without prep time

Yeah read the thread again, idiot. No one is saying that they want to see Barbara get raped, they're saying they don't want what was in the comic to be stripped away to avoid controversy.
>>
>>78610264
Bruce isn't normal.

The rest are to an extent. It was a completely normal reaction for having one of your most feared villains show up at your door.

I still think it's funny this shit is even a big deal considering Jim spends most of his time in the story naked, caged, and in a dog collar surrounded by gimp midgets.

How would her struggle with Joker progressed the story? It would just have been filler. The Killing Joke is quite tight and compressed, and perhaps most importantly, focused, no extra panels.

Investing half a page to show Babs struggling with Joker would serve no purpose at all.

Lel, fuck them.

>>78610611
I would imagine that drop might actually be more caused by the cover itself than pulling it. There were probably a lot of tumblr readers who refused to continue out of indignation.

>>
>>78610938
Well the Joker is an hallucination, Arkham Knight who is Jason Todd kidnapped Barbara, and later Barbara kill herself
Not really
>>
>>78610978
That second spoiler isn't necessary. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with Batman would be able to figure out who the Arkham Knight is within the first 10 minutes.

Hell, Jason Todd and Arkham Knight are listed right net to each other in the game's encyclopedia and have the exact same height and weight.
>>
>>78610978
That seems mildly retarded and tryhard. But that's par for the course with Arkham Knight, I hear.
>>
>>78611041
Yeah I know, but anon clearly hasn't played the game
>>78611048
The story needed a good polishing. Methinks that that Arkham Knight leak that was posted in /v/ eons ago (about the Suicide Squad being in the game and all that) was true and that RS did a rework in the game
>>
>>78611048
It was actually pretty great. Pretty much the only thing I loved about Arkham Knight. You're just gliding around the city or walking through doors and then Joker is just there talking shit.
>>
>>78609028
Bane wore him out by sending every villain in Gotham after him before he broke his spine. Batman would never have been one-shotted in a story not about him and then kept in a wheelchair for over twenty years as a "role model" side character while appearing frequently in other media.
>>
>>78610688
Nah. It was cancelled very soon after it was announced, and well before the comic came out. There was no variant to replace it, and DC stopped giving it variants afterward, so sales dropped without that incentive.

It probably doesn't even reflect a drop in readership as much as a drop in unsold copies sitting around comic shops.
>>
>>78612049
There's a reason for that.

Babs who hasn't put the costume on for a long time has nowhere near the plot armour Batman does tbf.

You're retarded. I'm sorry to break the news so late, anon.

Maybe you should read a book or two and figure out how narratives work.

Alan already told that story, he asked editor if he could do it, got an yes, and did it. It's that simple.

If he didn't give a shit he wouldn't bother asking.
