[–] icenando@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) Have fun! I was a bit underwhelming, tbh, but still a must read - most people say it's a classic. I'm just weird. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] simple@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's a classic in the sense that it was incredibly influential and original for its time. The serious joker/batman dynamic has been overplayed a lot since then, so reading The Killing Joke feels like more of what we come to expect out of a batman story. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] VanHalbgott@lemmus.org [S] 1 point 2 years ago What if you read the Bob Kane/Bill Finger stories? Just curious. permalink fedilink source parent [–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, the rare case in which the art is better than Alan Moore's story.
