Review of Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) by Tong P — 21 Jul 2016

I'm a batman fan and I was excited to see this. Then. I saw this. I thought it was ok. It didn't meet my High expectations for it. This didn't live up too all of the hype surrounding the movie.

It starts with a voiceover from Batgirl. Then Batman & Batgirl chase after Paris Franz, a rich kid. He is the son of a crime boss and is looking to kill his pops and take over the business.

Batman & Batgirl chase after him. Eventually Batman & Batgirl have sex. This causes things to get awkward. Then, they catch Paris Franz and Batgirl beats him up.

Movie cuts to a few months later. Joker escape prison. Joker shoots Batgirl and paralyzes her. He kidnaps Commissoner Gordon. Flashback, a young joker is trying to provide for his pregnant wife. [I thought the character seemed soooo weak. Constantly being pushed around, afraid to speak up, and just a complete p*ssy. I always pictured Joker as more of young cool thug / hoodlum.].

So his wife calls him a coward. Joker gets caught up with 2 criminals who plan to steal from a chemical plant. The day of the robbery, the police tell him that his wife died of an accident. Robbery goes bad and joker falls into chemical pile.

Present time, Batman shows up to carnival to save Jim Gordan. He does. He then chases Joker into a funhouse. Batman and Joker decide to settle their difference by talking it out. Then Joker tells a joke. Batman & Joker start laughing as the movie ends.
