>yfw you remembered the killing joke is getting an animated adaptation this year
It'll all be shit if they don't get the Joker's psychedelic horror show perfect.
Too bad it'll have the typical cheap shit sterile artstyle. Poor Bolland.
>>78602695
They'll neuter it. I'm 100% certain of this.
>>78602695
Can't wait for progressives to bitch and moan until it gets censored out the fucking ass
>>78602737
That's one thing i really wish the west would adopt from anime, adapting art styles into animation.
>Tfw 'feminists' are trying to boycott it.
>Tfw they believe this is the worst Batman story ever.
>Tfw they probably didn't even read the whole thing, just the Joker shoots Barbara part.
>>78602737
Timm's on board, so I doubt it will have the shitty artstyle that most of their recent movies have had
>>78604059
>just the Joker shoots Barbara part.
You mean RAPES?
>>78602695
Isn't Timm producing it? It'll be pretty safe.
Is it gonna be Direct-to-video?

But it is one of the worst Batman stories ever.
It only gets praised because it's SO MATURE AND COMPELLING XDDDD (Like half of the Batman stories)
>>78604059
>>78604158
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.
>>78605578
womyn pls
TKJ is a very emotional and beautiful story.

You think Alan Moore gives a fuck?
Plus, crippled Babs is the only good Babs.
Oracle iz nice.
>>78605601
I don't think so pal. Only Batman stories I would consider good are Miller's. Because he's actually a good writer unlike Moore.

It was originally intended to be a stand-alone story not part of any continuity. DC were the ones who decided to make it canon, much to Alan Moore's consternation.
>>78605700

Use a word that I, as a proud bitch, can understand.

Why do they only do adaptations of things they will inevitably fuck up?
I mean, I guess they just go by what is popular, but wouldn't it make more sense to make cartoons of things that would make good cartoons?

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
>>78606385
muh preptime
>>78606463
lol terrible post
>>78606385
This. Joker already had the gun drawn. She was caught off guard is all
>>78602695
If it's a faithful adaption: Then I'm looking forward greatly for it.
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.
>>78602695
>yfw you remembered it's rated R
Barbara's sore butthole confirmed
>>78606502
This.
She was caught off guard and in her own home. There is no shame in that. Hell, it's happened to Bats more than a few times.
>>78606832
Do you think there's hope for a non ruined version when even variant covers trigger these braindead whores?
I want to hope but It ain't lookin too good
>>78606870
A man can dream...
>>78605587
>she jobs pretty hard
what do you mean?
>>78606463
dodging a bullet is not so simple, and you're underestimating the joker.
>>78605578
The original coloring saves it for me
>>78608936
*tips nostalgia*
>>78606895
>Hell, it's happened to Bats more than a few times.
That's bollocks, do you not remember the time he was caught off guard by Bane in his home and he gave Bane the beating of his life with a series of prepared gadgets?
>>78608986
>implying Bolland's recolor isn't unimaginative and boring
>>78609035
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
>>78610264
You act like Bruce has never been caught by surprise and taken hostage. There are plenty of instances where if someone wanted to kill him, they could have. Hell, Harley captured him once.
>>78605527
>bbc time.jpg
Nah, its more of a hwp timeHarley White Pussy
>assflustered mras mad they cant watch a rape
>that wasnt even shown in the comic
>>78610397
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.
>>78605536
glad i wasnt the only one to notice that.
>>78610264
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.
>>78610546
Batgirl issues:
38 - 45,096

Still proud pulling that cover backfired on DC.
>>78610611
>40 - 41,729
>41 - 33,220
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.
>>78610688
I hope they kill themselves.
>edge
>>78605587
Taking a bullet to the fucking spine is jobbing now.
Fine, /co/. WHATEVER.
>>78610738
>Being mad that people stop reading a shitty comic
Cameron Stewart is a terrible author and I hope sales continue to drop so that we can switch teams after the big issue #52 mark
>>78605721
Wait. WHAT?!
>>78610688
He thinks any of the cunts that were furious about it actually read comics!
>>78605587
He caught her off guard.
>>78610837
What What?
>>78610909
Why are Batman and the Joker hanging out? And that dialogue?
>>78610863
Some of them had to. there is clearly a group of tumblr that reads shit like Squirrel Girl and Camstew Batgirl or else they wouldn't sell.
>>78610938
Well the Joker isan hallucination, Arkham Knightwho is Jason Toddkidnapped Barbara, and later Barbara kill herselfNot 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 seemsmildly retardedandtryhard. But that'spar for the coursewith 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.
>>78606265
>he isn't allowed to hurt this character or sex in a comic
>She should be able to discern a surprise attack coming, and kicked that bullet out of the air because she's so tough and strong that she can literally beat a guy with a gun who surprises her with no issues
>Because of her being shot and raped in order to torture a man, the good guy of the comic, mind you, by an evil man, specifically to fuck with the good guy, Alan Moore hates women
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.
>>78606265
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.
