The joke at the end essentially relates to Batman and Joker’s relationship: the first inmate (Batman) is able to make the leap across, but the second inmate (Joker) can’t bring himself to do it. Here’s where things get interesting: The first inmate tries creating a bridge made out of light from a flashlight so that the second inmate is able to cross over. But as we all know, that wouldn’t work because light is intangible. This essentially relates to Batman trying to help the joker because just like a bridge made out of light-it’s all an illusion since you can’t cross a bridge made from light. As for the second prisoner: he isn’t concerned with the fact that he can’t cross a bridge made from a flashlight light, he is concerned that the first inmate will turn off the light when the second prisoner is halfway through. This shows that the second inmate (Joker) is just too far gone. So no matter how much Batman tries to help the Joker-it’s an impossible illusion. Batman laughs along with Joker at the end because he gets the meaning behind the joke and realizes that he and Joker aren’t that different in terms of sanity. They are madmen chasing one another.

@@anakamarvelous It's not definite that Batman kills him, Alan Moore left it kind of ambiguous, but it does seem to be heavily implied. In the comic, instead of the Joker's laughter cutting short, there's a beam of light on the ground that cuts off in the last panel, alluding to the joke about the first prisoner killing the second by switching of the beam of light. We don't see what happened between Batman and Joker as they're out of shot for the last couple of panels, but I think it was implying Batman killed him.

Maybe sounds like a nitpick but I HATE that Joker says the whole "Why aren't you laughing?" speech while angry instead of sad. It's way more powerful in the actual graphic novel by showing that he's genuinely sad that Batman won't get the joke.

this movie shows a picture of a dead jason, which is interesting because in the comics the events of killing joke happen before jason's death and is actually referenced in the jason death story (batman: death in the family) as the last time batman and joker fought prior to him escaping from arkham at the start of jason's death story. Barbara is also shown at jason's funeral in a wheelchair. From context clues it makes it seem as if the events of killing joke and death in the family occur within 6 months- a year of each other.

Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy always leave me speechless. They’re the perfect Batman and Joker.

[@TheEmpiresStrongest]

That’s why I like them in the Arkham trilogy don’t get me wrong I love Arkham Origins massively underrated game, but the reason they did new voice actors for that was because Arkham Origins was basically Batman Year 1 just done in an another way. Also it’s Batman being around for two years and they also brought up Detective Flass so that’s when everyone didn’t know Batman so they play a young Batman (Roger Craig Smith) and a young Joker (Troy Baker).

[@bryanguerrero1067]

So basically Bruce Timm (he spearheaded the creation of the Batman and Superman animated series from the 90s, the art style those shows use is his) decided to continue pursuing his weird artistic choice to have Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon have a very off putting romance. He and Paul Dini gave us Harley Quinn but man he just has to go and be a weirdo with his bat girl and Batman ideas lmao. This is one of those films where you definitely gotta read the source material first, it’s only like an 80 page book and is written by Alan Moore (the Shakespeare of comics).

[@thewerewolff7248]

the reason behind the romance is likely due Bruce Timm's own sexual attraction towards barbara and red heads in general. It seems hes essentially using a character with his first name (batman) as a stand in for himself which yeah, pretty gross and creepy.

[@suriah12]

@@thewerewolff7248 From some interviews it seems the whole DCAU crew were invested in the relationship because they all agreed it was wrong and they loved it.

[@HunterSlayer2727]

They also wrote Baby Doll and Killer Croc as a couple for an episode which has so many bad implications for Croc that he probably f***** a woman who looks like a 6 year old. I'll never defend the relationship choices he and Paul Dini made for Bruce, Barb, Croc and Baby but the rest of Batman the Animated Series is pretty much flawless and the movies iconic.

I believe that Batman is utterly right in refering to joker as "it" or "what have you released" and dehumanising the joker. I get that human rights don't let the law to kill the joker, but at this point, after all he has done with zero regrets, the joker shouldn't be considered a human at all, so the human rights shouldn't apply to this creature.

[@lazyking8445]

The reason Joker does all this, besides the whole relationship with Batman, is because he knows that he lives in a fictional world. He knows that he and everyone are fictional beings on a canvas and that’s why he does all this. He’s not insane. He’s super sane (the term for his “power” being super sanity)

[@kevinsuarez8949]

The capital punished is bad, of course, but in this case it's just the lesser evil. The necessary evil, if you ask me.

[@nic558]

@@jermo1470 it would make a lot more sense if it happened after Jason death. That would explain why Bruce is more tougher/critical with the Batfam. And it adds more to Jason’s despair & rage that since his death he couldn’t save or do anything for Barbara. Again, it would make a lot more sense that way but it’s not canon… I think. DC is VERY indecisive on what’s canon 😒

[@nic558]

Alfred says that Jason’s death affected him more than his parents. Unlike with his mother & father, Bruce actually had the power/strength to save him loved ones. Even Grayson admits that Jason made him actually take on a role of a parent seriously and not just a role model. However after Jason’s origin was redone they made Jason waay too anger and doesn’t flesh Jay at all. I have a love/hate relationship with how DC writes Jason

[@eonnexus]

​@nic558 Couple years late, but in the comics, they happened at around the same time, with Killing Joke intending to be a non-cannon elseworlds story (the implication that Batman killed Joker at the end)that got too popular, so was made cannon after the fact. As a result, it's kind of a toss-up over what occurred first. The Death in the Family interactive Movie for example has one of the reasons for Jason & Bruce's fallout being him learning and getting pissed about the Killing Joke. I'd say that interpretation makes the most sense because Batman was VERY notably more violent after Jason's death, ESPECIALLY in regards to the Joker. So him trying to help Joker AFTER Jason's death, at least in such a small time frame, seems out of character.

[@kevinsuarez8949]

The first part of the film has a lot of problems, but the second part is faithful to the original material, it is not bad although the comic is better (If you can read it, do it because you could better understand the ending because of some subtle things that this movie left out but when you see them, they make sense of what happened at the end.).

Yeah, this movie is a very uncomfortable spot in animated history. While the second half is pretty much the adaption of the comic, the first half makes the whole thing sooooo uncomfortable. Joker didn’t go after Barbra because she’s Batgirl. He went after her because she was Commissioner Gordon’s daughter, and it was a way to hurt both Gordon and Batman through Gordon. The whole thing with her and Batman being a sort of thing just makes the whole experience weird. Then again, the whole thing is because the guy behind this movie (who is also the people behind the original animated series) has wanted Batgirl and Batman to be a thing for years, and took this opportunity to make his “fan fiction” reality.

You should watch The Batman vs Dracula. One of my favorite Batman animated films.

I recommend you watch Superman/Batman - Apocalypse next, it's a great movie with lost of great characters.

Barbra said “step bat what are you doing??” 🤣

[@marianmonterrubio3503]

If you were annoyed that she didn't looked though the peep hole ( 17:30 33:18). You should read the comic "The batman chronics" issue 5 (you can read it online). It's about Barbara after being shot. I think it is a critic to the writer of "The killing joke", and how they used Barbara as a victim. She's shown actually dealing with it. Plus, there is no relationship with Bruce.

[@TJUC123]

Oh Lord Jesus. Krysta didn’t understand not a bit of that ending and then confused me trying to explain it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jasonfitak9521]

The joke is a parallel between Batman and Joker. They laughed because the joke was funny. The inmate was talking about walking across a beam of light. But the 2nd inmate was scared that the 1st inmate would shut off the flashlight and he'd fall. You can't walk on light, you'll fall. 1 guy wants to walk on a light bridge, 1 guy scared the bridge will vanish. Classic joke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Andros1921]

They are both too crazy to ever truly trust and be helped by the other one.

"What the fuck?! Watawatawatawatawata?!" -Krysta, 2022 г.

[@Krmkebere]

Last joke was actually the meaningful part of the movie it is sad that you didn't understand. Joker says there is 2 guys in a lunatic asylum (Batman and Joker is the 2 guy and they are trapped in their own minds) one day they want to escape, First guy (Batman) says hey I gotta flashlight I will hold it to the other building and you can walk on it.(Meaning is, Batman wants to do an impossible thing, helping joker...) While the other guy says: What do you think I am crazy, you will turn it on when I am halfway cross. It shows that Joker is not trusting him no matter what... And when Batman and Joker laugh together you can hear that after Batman holds Joker, Joker stops laughing and Batman counties. Killing Joke is this... This movie shows as how similar are Batman and Joker

Krysta: I do wanna see some Joker shenanigans. Also: Krysta: JOKER YOU HAVE GONE TOO DAMN FAR!

In life you know the type of people that will help you but you also know the type of people that will turn off the light when things get hard and let you fall, between the both of them they know what the outcome will always be! I'm happy that you have never had to experience anything remotely close. I know for myself downrange I have.

This movie uses Wonder Jokers most iconic quote from the comics and that is one bad day can drive a man insane

I love this movie some people don't the first half but it continues in another story line in a different dceu

[@jadenphillips6758]

What it’s called

[@deshaunfortune912]

I love how you read the comics these movies are based off directly after.

[@popeye697]

It's implied, in the comic that this is based on, that when Batman laughs at the Joker's joke, he strangles the Joker to death. When Alan Moore originally wrote this story, it wasn't canon and therefore the Joker dying at the end is completely plausible. However, DC Comics liked the idea of paralyzing Barbara and decided to make the story canon minus the implied murder of the Joker at the end. John Ostrander, who was writing Suicide Squad at the time didn't like the idea of Barbara not being useful anymore and used his book to reintroduce her as ORACLE and made her more powerful in a wheelchair than she ever was as Batgirl.

[@Frogman1212]

Right on all points. However it should be clarified Moore never intended for Batman to have killed the joker. He did however say that Joker used the bullet wound in Barbara as an orifice for sexual assault.

[@redwolf9966]

This was one of the DC animations I ever truly saw pure the horror seep out of me and truly made my skin crawl and truly one of the many most darkest things I had ever seen joker do.

[@lazyking8445]

Not a real spoiler but this became the canon background for Joker (as Red Hood, his wife and child, etc.) I believe last year

[@Maniacace]

We are ALLLL with you with that Babs and Bats thing

[@WhiteFangofWar]

9:44 My sentiments exactly. I wonder if the whole Paris Franz being creepy towards Batgirl arc was set up to make this one seem less creepy. If so, it failed. Definitely see why people don't like this one so much. The original story focused much more on Joker than Barbara.

The funny about the last joke is how in the world someone insane can help in any way another man how is also as insane as him.

[@CatotheE]

9:40 You’re not alone. I remember when this came out. Most people had that reaction.

[@Frostbite08]

Batgirl's "This probably isn't how you expected this story to start" is because none of the first half of this movie is from the comic.

[@litiangparra6799]

To clarify, the beginning part is not from the original story, that was added for some dumb reason, but where he enters the asylum is where it really starts, so forget the beginning part and start the movie in the middle part, and end the movie where the title shows up

[@edward18517]

"What the fuck is happening?!" Bruce Timm. That's what's happening.

When they were both laughing: • Batman puts his hands on Joker’s shoulders • Batman was the only one to laugh at the end Makes me think Batman choked Joker to death.
