Batman: The Killing Joke Review - 5 Ups And 6 Downs
2. Batman & Batgirl's Sex Scene
There's one scene in the movie that's sure to be more controversial than anything else, and that's the wildly unnecessary, vaguely misogynistic sex scene between Barbara and Bruce.
After the two argue and start fighting, Babs manages to pin Bruce to the ground and, after a pause, begins making out with him. He then grabs her a** and she removes her clothing as the camera pans upwards.
For starters, it's totally needless and is just a cheap way to try and make Batman care about Barbara more after she's shot, also it's somewhat creepy considering Bruce's friendship with her father, and ends up making Barbara seem extremely childish and naive in the aftermath, as she whines about Bats blanking her. Terrible.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
General video game, TV and film nut. Occasional sports fan. Full time loon.
