Why do people think that the joker raped batgirl?

Why do people think that the joker raped batgirl?

People like playing detectives and psychologists too much and they are really bad at it considering they don't even take into account Alan Moore's "subtlety".

Why wouldn't he have raped batgirl?

He went this far to cause gordon trauma, why wouldn't he have fucked the bullethole he made in her that left her paralyzed?

Joker is not a supercriminal of scruples, he wouldn't go as ridiculously far as this and then shie away from rape as if it was somehow 'worse' or 'beyond his moral sensibilities. He's already gone the whole hog on this caper.

Its bullshit that he managed to do all this and get out of it alive, just makes Batman and co look ineffectual.

Americans are incapable of not associating nudity with sex.

Because it's Alan Moore, and he would have just fucking said so in the comic.

Alan Moore loves rape, its just Rape Rape Rape with him.

Because Joker is Batmansexual. He's not fucking Shinji to fuck bullet holes.

If he wanted us to know that Babs was raped, he wouldn't be kicking the bush around is what I am saying.

why would he go through all the trouble of raping her and not tell Gordon about it?

A lot of people say her naked pics are suggestive. Apparently suggestive is enough to color you rapist these days.

He certainly sexually assaulted her. And thats just as rape as rape!

Because the killing joke was shit and should not have been canon

Alan Moore, pls, Killing Joke was first time Babs was interesting.

>the joker raped batgirl?
The joker raped Jason :DDDD

It is when you are the Joker, not exactly a bastion of morality, a figure of restraint.

Probably.

If it was this easy for joker to paralyze someone close to batman. Why hasn't he done it before.

Because people are idiots and don't realize that the writer is actually Alan Moore who loves to show sexual acts if it's done.

>EDGE. EDGINESS IS REALISTIC!

i always thought that he had her raped by his goons.

didnt DC had stil some kind of moral codex when its coming to sex? Being an us-american publisher?

honest question

The whole comic is the Joker being edgy though, that is the very core of the action

Actually, he knows restraint, because he knows how to shock people the most when he shows lack of it.

>killing joke was shit
Disagree.

>should not have been canon
Agree.

Well, that didn't take long.

Watchmen came out BEFORE Killing Joke. And it had rape.

you guys know the killing joke will come as an animated film in july.

I can't wait. It'll be the definitive version of the story.

What was interesting about Babs in Killing Joke?

cause raping her would pack an extra punch

I mean it's Alan Moore. How can it not be rape

Dunno, Joker seems to be fully clothed, there's blood and there's no hint of rape.

People are retards.

Because the rape is always shown, not just implied.

Barbara was indeed sexually assaulted by being undressed and photographed. It's possible that there are people who consider any sexual assault violation rape and what you are running into is actually just a connotation vs denotation debate rather than a factual one.

Also this. With Moore there is no ambiguity. We would know if she was raped.

He shot her to fuck with Gordan, he had no idea it was batgirl.
