This comic sucks, just in general, but key issues are that it gave Joker a canonical backstory, and people constantly sucking this comic off has slowly worsened Joker over time.
>>154593595How is it canonical? They never referenced it again and the universe has been rebooted 5 times since then.
>>154593595What an insightful critique, you are a wordsmith.
>>154593613Because it's treated as the go-to origin for any adaptation or flashback. Characters in-universe don't reference it because they are supposed to know his origin, but it's treated as meta-textual fact.
>>154593619>you are a wordsmith.That's the problem, you put effort into writing and people accuse you of using AI, write more than a few sentences and you get "not reading all that, bro," try and be succinct and you get this.
>>154593595Guys, I'm going to be honest; I think I like the recolor. The original is like a really bad trip, but the recolor hits on a different level. Like it's telling you that it's not a bad trip, this is real.
He already had a backstory written by Bill Finger himself.>>154593613TKJ was post-crisis Joker's origin and it was reference many times. Zdarsky combined it with Snyder's Zero Year in DC's new "everything's canon I guess" continuity.
>>154593595It's great.Joker's backstory is bullshit. It says it in the comic.
>>154594152>write more than a few sentences and you get "not reading all that, bro," try and be succinct and you get this.and people constantly sucking this comic off has slowly worsened Joker over time is not actually succinct, it's inane >>154594180>it's telling you that it's not a bad trip, this is real.But it's not real. It's strange and fantastic.
>>154593595It was supposed to be an imaginary story like Going Sane
>>154594318> He already had a backstory written by Bill Finger himself.What is it?
>>154594152>write more than a few sentences and you get "not reading all that, bro,"if you think that's bad you should see instagram comment sections, bunch of people patting themselves on the back for being retards
>>154595275>But it's not real. It's strange and fantastic.Except its canon to the Batman mythos.
>>154595312
>>154595352canon is what canon should be, not what it's stated to be. it's decided by meritocracy.and anyway alan moore never intended it to be canon
>>154595352>Except its canon to the Batman mythos.? i'm talking about the coloring, the trippy far out coloring that embraces the printed page and takes advantage of the medium, as opposed to some appeal to realism
>>154594152>write more than a few sentences and you get "not reading all that, bro,"Short form media and infinite scrolling has done untold damage to our brains.
>>154595529The original coloring takes away from the story being told.
>>154595940>Medium allows for all kinds of imaginative and crazy shit.>No, thank you, I'll just have flat faux-photorealism, please.
>>154595940It enhances it.
>>154593595>it gave Joker a canonical backstoryIt existed long before
>>154595417
>>154593595Is this even still canon
>>154593595You're a faggot. If I ask you to name me 50 better comics you will name some that are worse.Hating on The Killing Joke is performative and outs you as a frustrated tasteless chump.
>>154597747Is Barbara still a cripple with a chip in her spine?
>>154593613Didn’t Oracle spawn out of this book? It turned Barbara into a glorified secretary for like decades
I feel like it's a little strange for Batman to laugh with the Joker at the end, considering he raped Barb
>>154598841He didn’t
>>154598869He clearly did.
>>154599009No
>>154593595all it really did was retell his existing backstory>>154595417>>154595312>>154593613
>>154599047Look it up doofus
>>154598869>>154599047You don't read comics
>>154598841Joker was also raped in the ass
>>154598841He didn't rape her, he just shot her through the spine and snapped a few pics of her dying in agony.
>>154593595Nah this one actually deserves the praise it gets
>>154599076The Red Hood stuff is okay, but it's the whole failed comedian and dead wife thing that really sucks.
