That was such an incredible homage to the graphic novel, so well animated for its time and love the 3D Joker model (WB should treat animation seriously and give us a Spider-Verse-esque Batman movie instead of more direct-to-video 2D cartoons). Great Mark Hamill impression.

The animation looks peak. You've nailed with the expressions and body movement. Probably the best adaptation of the Killing Joke.👍🤡

Because I’ve heard it before. AND IT WASNT FUNNY THE FIRST TIME!

I hate that I feel Joker's speech about the world

Still, still I come back to listen and watch this masterpiece over and over again. Mister, you were a huge part of my Batman Nostolgic childhood, and for that, thank you.

I gotta admit, danny elfman's penguin death music form Batman returns suits this scene

Only flaw is that the line was "War Debt Creditors" not "War Department Creditors.". That one mistake drove me crazy. That's my villain origin story.

Still as impactful as when I first saw it 12 years ago

This is Mark Hamill, isn’t it? Man, hearing his Joker voice before Arkham Asylum feels nostalgic

So, what if a man had 100 bad days? 🤔

I love how solemn and sad this version is. You can tell the Joker genuinely wants Batman to understand him. He views Batman as a similar soul and is confused and frustrated that Batman disagrees with him.

Rip Arleen Sorkin

This version gave me unrealistic expectations for the official version, which could never live up to it even with the real voice actor.

Better than the adaptation Will you make a full video adaptation of the killing joke comic?

This video reached over 1 million hits! 2024 anyone?

David Tennant would fit this version of Joker so well. At least the look. I get the feeling he could pull off the voice well enough, too.

I love how this sometimes sounds like Mark Hamill’s early Joker voice

“Because I’ve heard it before, and it wasn’t funny the first time.” -Batman. Bro ngl this is fantastic and it’s like over a decade later.

Why can't you see the funny side?! WHY AREN'T YOU LAUGHING?!!!!

I haven't watched this in so long, but I just listened to it while reading The Killing Joke. Definitely one of the best done by the best!

The Killing Joke had better execution. Here Joker just seems moppy and sad, in the Killing Joke, he literally monologs in Mark Hamill's voice before beating Batman over the head WHILE continuing his speech. You can't get more Joker than that.

Many people have worse days than batman and joker comebined But that doesn't mean we should turn evil .Be different and follow God

This is so much better than the actual animated film

I love the Owlman's reaction to the realization of meaninglessness of everything. "It's not funny, but it's also not not funny". Instead of becoming just like Joker and going hysterical about it or Batman with his beliefs in good and better way to the end, Owlman has decided to simply put the entire existence out of its misery, himself included.

1:43

Only time i kinda agree with the joker

This moment was not done justice in the animated film, here this 3D render perfectly captures the emotion of the scene

With what I have learned about the planet this past year, this makes too much more sense to me now. When there is an actual risk of the seas going sulfuric like 251 mya, erasing basically EVERYTHING, with no survivors, no memories, everything humanity every achieved just being another random ore deposit in some number of million years... It really is all just a bad joke. A sick joke that could have been headed off at least a bit if not for the greed of all the corporations. We might not even have any fish, whales, or such in the oceans by 2050ish. We all got the free ticket that was sent us. All it takes is one bad day. And that bad day is a day or two of no meals when the famine comes from all the climate crap that is happening.

1:16-1:35

Holy crap do I love this. WELL DONE!!!

this video is impressive and may always be.

Pgirts does a great job as joker even though his channel was deleted

"Because I've heard it before. And it wasn't funny the first time." R.I.P. Kevin Conroy

Pgirts sounds spot on for the Joker

"Because I've heard it before. And it wasn't funny the first time!"

The music is from the ending of Batman's Tim Burton movie with The Penguin.

1:34 this part gets me Like his persona is his coping mechanism, and I can see his sadness, behind his smile

If we saw jack say to the crowd, why aren't you laughing, and then back to this 2:30 wouldn't that be something

*"There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us, you blinked."* ~ Batman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Quote

Name of song pls thanks you

Sometimes I wonder if the Joker is just trying to prove a point but chose the worst possible to covey it. Then again, the Joker movie did a great job of showing just how ignored is was.

I saw this video as a teenager and now as an adult it holds up so well. Especially the ending where the Joker asks, "Why aren't you laughing?" Seriously, it's meant to be sad while the movie adaptation just has him be angry. This video feels way more powerful than the actual movie adaptation.

I thought this was an actual rendition by Mark Hamill. Its flawless. Completely gut-wrenching and utterly exceptional. Bravo.

Batman looks at Joker and sees the opposite of everything he is and stands for. Joker looks at Batman and sees someone who is exactly the same, but won't admit it for some reason.

The direction of this video is so strong

It doesn't matter if you catch a lunatic and send them to the asylum, there's no difference between the lunatic and everyone else. All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man or woman alive today to utter lunacy, that's how far away the world is from becoming like the Joker. Just one bad day. I had two years worth of bad days, and it drove me as crazy as everyone else, but some people refuse to admit it. They have to keep pretending that life makes sense, that there's some point to all the struggling. The point is, I went crazy. When I saw what an awful joke the world can be I went as crazy as a court jester. I admit it! So why can't everyone else? After all, not everyone is unintelligent, so they must see the reality of the situation. Do you know how many times we've come close to World War 3 over a misunderstanding or a flock of geese on a computer screen or on a radar screen? Does anyone even know what triggered the last world war? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed its war department creditors. Telegraph poles! It's all just a joke! Anything that people like Hitler, ISIS and even the BLA ever struggled for, it's all just one monstrously demented gag. So why can't we all see the funny side? Why aren't we all laughing about it?

Lmao I love your animation style

This is getting more relevant every day now

The director should've show this to Mark Hamill when they were making the movie
