literally the worse posts i've ever seen on a killing joke storytimes.
Tyler Jackson
cool shit OP
So...did Bats strangled him? did he turn insane too? or they became friends? what's the real ending
Grayson Powell
it's
>implied
with the imagery that Batman turns off the metaphorical flashlight bridge between them
what this means is up to interpretation
Joseph Campbell

James Moore
Don't know, but I think that's the point. Still, I just see it as Batman laughing at how Joker's technically right and then he roughs him up before the cops arrive.
Grayson Martinez
Thanks for this. I first read Killing Joke in the recoloured form and wondered what the big deal was with it. Seemed a bit anticlimactic. Then I read the original a few years later and damn...
Despite some weird choices and some clunky bits it really does look like a fucking nightmare. The new version looks like it took place on the set of a sitcom.

First one did the monologue better than Hamill actually did.

From Moore himself
>And David, for the record, my intention at the end of that book was to have the two characters simply experiencing a brief moment of lucidity in their ongoing very weird and probably fatal relationship with each other, reaching a moment where they both perceive the hell that they are in, and can only laugh at their preposterous situation. A similar chuckle is shared by the doomed couple at the end of the remarkable Jim Thompson’s original novel, The Getaway.

Speaking of shit, anyone know the actual genesis of this? I've heard multiple tales about it; it was a Batman Annual then a graphic novel, then back to being a Batman Annual and then back to it being a graphic novel at the last minute.
Also that the first couple of drafts of the Killing Joke didn't even have Batgirl in it and it was a last minute addition and only approved because DC wanted to completely get rid of Barbara as Batgirl.

TKJ was a vanity project for Bolland and Moore (mostly for Bolland, who DC wanted to keep exclusive at the company and not lose him to Marvel).
Bolland got the project rolling but the plot was 100% Moore. Also, originally the Moore version only had Batgirl getting shot/stripped naked and posed for photos by the Joker to mind fuck Commissioner Gordon. DC forced Bolland to junk the page with the nudity and redo it with the nudity implied. But they not only kept Batgirl getting shot but also were the ones who decided that Batgirl would be crippled as a result of the shot.
DC gave Bolland and Moore free reign scheduling-wise to produce Killing Joke. Bolland and Moore wanted the book to be released as a stand-alone graphic novel, but DC was aiming to release it as an Annual due to the fact that it's a major status quo changing story. It ultimately became a graphic novel, when editoral saw the final product and realized it could never see the light of day at newstand.

>It ultimately became a graphic novel, when editoral saw the final product and realized it could never see the light of day at newstand.
I like hearing shit like this. Like when David Fincher was told to change a line in Fight Club from a producer, and ended up changing it to something even worse.
Austin Torres
>But they not only kept Batgirl getting shot but also were the ones who decided that Batgirl would be crippled as a result of the shot.
No they didn't. Moore came to them with the idea himself.
>but DC was aiming to release it as an Annual due to the fact that it's a major status quo changing story.
This is wrong too.
>In the introduction to the story as it appears in the DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore trade paperback, Brian Bolland disputes the widely held belief that the story started as a Batman annual story and ended up as a prestige-format book. Bolland recalls that the idea for a one-off Batman story focusing on the Joker—with Batman more of an incidental character—was his. Bolland says that in 1984, DC editor Dick Giordano told him he could do any project for DC he wanted, and Bolland requested to do a Batman/Joker prestige book with Moore as writer.

true

Come on man, TKJ is overrated, still a good story.
Hunter Brown
