in 2003 he is even more scathing about it
>>The Killing Joke is a story about Batman and the Joker; it isn't about anything that you're ever going to encounter in real life, because Batman and the Joker are not like any human beings that have ever lived. So there's no important human information being imparted ... Yeah, it was something that I thought was clumsy, misjudged and had no real human importance. It was just about a couple of licensed DC characters that didn't really relate to the real world in any way<<
its his work so he sees it differently then we do and he can tear ti to shreds if he wants
but still
ouch
Really? Maybe it's just me but I always interpreted it as a story about Gordon not compromising his principles even after seeing his daughter shot and raped thereby negating the Joker's "All it takes is one bad day to drive a normal man crazy".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Killing_Joke#Creator.27s_response]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Killing_Joke#Creator.27s_response[/url]
