One of the most beloved comics of all time. Should have been an easy home run to adapt but they filled it with all the extraneous bullshit, all this weird sex and rape shit, and a horrible musical number. The Joker is just saying nonsense the whole time, and not good Joker nonsense just bad writing nonsense.

I have 10 minutes left. I should have turned it off a long time ago lol

It's just not enough material to make a full movie out of. It should have been some sort of 30-minute long TV special.

After hearing about certain things I never bothered to watch it. Didn't know it had a musical number. Batman getting with Barbara is too messed up and I hate when they do that in stories. Didn't they get together in the animated universe between TAS and BB too?

Honestly, I was never a huge fan of the original story either and I hate the ending. Batman wouldn't do that...nor the other thing that some say he does.

Bruce and Barbara acted like theyre literally following a script for such unnatural hookup...

Yeah it definitely did not have to be over an hour long. I avoided it until now, as it's on Netflix now, but man I really wish I didn't watch it lol

Even the animation is pretty terrible. The background characters are all poorly drawn. The soundscape is so weird and hollow. It feels like they had a really low budget for this.

The last Joker line is actually good though. It's maybe the only good part of the movie

The guy who made it, added in a whole extra story about Barbara. The first entire half of the movie has nothing to do with the comic. He just did it so he could make Batgirl and Batman have sex. He has had a fetish for that pairing since the 90s

I finished it. I didn't like anything about it tbh. Also batman definitely explicitly killed at least one carnie in this movie lol

Really weird how emotionless Batman is in this thing. He doesn't even feel like a character in this one.
