Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke"

Pgirts' Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Pgirts

I'm impressed by Pgirts' interpretation of Mark Hamill's Joker. So I decided to use his audio and some vid clips of The Joker to make a little tribute vid to him. NOTE: This vid was made just for fun. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

[nerdsman567]

@Fr492001 On the soundtrack, It's just called "The Finale."

[angelusdemorte3]

What episode is the one from where he is watching that film in the theater?

[nerdsman567]

@angelusdemorte3 That's from the movie "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker."

[Mazmorrero2]

Where did they get Mark Hamill saying The Killing Jokes lines? I'd love to see an animated movie.

[nerdsman567]

@Mazmorrero2 A friend of mine on YouTube did the voiceover. His channel is in the description.

its weird the killing joke is almost more of a batman centered story then joker what the joker is really trying to say is that mentally him and batman are exactly the same there both insane really the joker just embraces his insanity were as bat man pushes it away and develops it in other forms such as his costume at the end when batman and the joker laughed together it just proved there one and the same

[Ilovecaptainjack224]

I had a bad day once... But now that I think of it, it makes me want to laugh... ha.. ha... HA... Ha... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[MajorBoothroyd007]

Not a bad Joker voice impression either really.

[ZeusYourUncle]

@ChocoAssCreme You're correct. If you listen to Alan Moore talk on the subject, the "joke" is that Batman is pretty much as psychotic as The Joker. What's so strange is that while The Killing Joke is one of the most popular Batman stories to date, it's clearly a criticism of Batman and the superhero genre. This is what separates Moore from people like Frank Miller. Moore shows up the problems with antiheroes, while Miller glorifies antiheroes.

Posted entire Transcript, for teh lulz

[beesemaster]

Do you know how many times we've come close to world war three over a flock of geese on a computer screen? Do you know what triggered the last world war? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed its war debt creditors! Telegraph poles! Ha ha ha ha HA! It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?

[beesemaster]

My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was, I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you? I mean, you're not unintelligent! You must see the reality of the situation.

[beesemaster]

Something like that, I bet. Something like that... Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha! But my point is...

[beesemaster]

You had a bad day once, am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a bad day and everything changed. Why else would you dress up as a flying rat? You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy as everybody else... Only you won't admit it! You have to keep pretending that life makes sense, that there's some point to all this struggling! God you make me want to puke. I mean, what is it with you? What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger?

[beesemaster]

So... I see you received the free ticket I sent you. I'm glad. I did so want you to be here. You see it doesn't matter if you catch me and send me back to the asylum... Gordon's been driven mad. I've proved my point. I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.
