Review of Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) by Dylan M — 05 Feb 2017
The only thing holding it down was the Batgirl subplot, which is a shame, because Tara Strong's Batgirl was always something I enjoyed in the DCAU. The sex scene was really out of character for Batman, and having Batgirl act like a lovestruck teenager was an insult to the character. Plus, as a minor nitpick, Harley's outfit was lame.
But in the good, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill exceeded expectations, especially Hamill. When it followed the graphic novel, it was fantastic. But the rest of it held it back for me, unfortunately.
