12 Movie Moments That Pissed Off Fans The Most In 2016
6. Batgirl Sex - Batman: The Killing Joke
The Killing Joke is considered the ultimate Joker story, giving a possible origin story for the twisted criminal and setting up his sickest scheme to date. The book is praised and controversial in equal measure, though writer Alan Moore isn’t much of a fan himself.
So it was exciting to hear an R-rated animated version was coming, which managed to lure Mark Hamill out of self-imposed Joker retirement as the Clown Prince Of Crime. It was hard to see how they were going to get a feature-length instalment out of the short graphic novel, so a new section with Batgirl was added to give the story extra weight.
Unfortunately, it was the most maligned part of the feature, and fans were utterly baffled by the scene where she and Batman get it on prior to her being crippled by The Joker. It’s a tacky edition that adds nothing to the overall story and comes off like creepy fan fiction.
