EDIT: All done! The comic was noteworthy!
Have fun! I was a bit underwhelming, tbh, but still a must read - most people say it’s a classic. I’m just weird.
It’s a classic in the sense that it was incredibly influential and original for its time. The serious joker/batman dynamic has been overplayed a lot since then, so reading The Killing Joke feels like more of what we come to expect out of a batman story.
What if you read the Bob Kane/Bill Finger stories?
Just curious.
Yeah, the rare case in which the art is better than Alan Moore’s story. I think even he had admitted that.
I’ve always thought it was pretty Frank Millar edgy, but I see, and never knew before but it doesn’t surprise me, that it’s Alan Moore so… It makes sense.
Ah nice, I’ve read it. This is my favorite quote: (spoilers)
Joker: “Knock knock”
Batman: “Who’s there?”
J: “Ima”
B: “Ima who?”
J: “I’m a going to kill you”
(They made the joker Italian in this one)
Don’t watch the movie
Agreed.
