Batman: 8 Incredibly Dark Joker Moments We'll Never See On Screen
7. The Death Of Sarah Essen Gordon
Those of you whove read Year One or seen its film adaptation will know that Captain James Gordon is temporarily blackmailed by the GCPD for starting an affair with his fellow officer Sarah Essen. Even though her departure during the series was mean to be self-contained, the character was brought back by Denny ONeil and eventually marries the now-divorced Gordon. Despite this happy resolution, all good things unfortunately must come to an end. During the No Mans Land story arc, a massive earthquake has nearly destroyed Gotham, turning its remains into an anarchic state. Though the Joker doesnt appear much, he makes an emergence at the very end where he conspires to kill all of the Gotham babies to aid in the chaos. When Sarah arrives to intervene in his plan, he throws a newborn at her and shoots her while shes focused on catching the child. Why It Won't Be Done... If the picture above doesnt tell you why it wont be done, there's little hope for you. Its not the fact that filmmakers would have to use real babies to simulate the event (animatronics and CGI have been utilized a lot lately) - its the fact that, from an audience standpoint, you have a woman being shot in front of many kids with her blood spilling around them. The image of that alone would ease most away from trying to do it.
Red Stewart is big fan of the entertainment industry, with insights into film, television, and video games for starters. Despite growing up in the 21st century's era of modernization, he prefers many retro era ideas over the current trends found in many of today's media. Personally he's an introvert who loves reading as much as gaming.
