Kind of out of the loop an that one, why does the Killing joke adaption had a sex scene with Batgirl in it.

For gently caress's sake, seriously? The whole thing was dumb when it was implied in the DCAU, but at least you could ignore it easily enough. Why would you ever think that is a good idea?

Yeah, I am basically speechless here. This doesn't sound like an adaption, this sounds like someone stole all of the Killing Jokes plot points for their own, lovely original story.

And it basically is exactly the same dumb "edgy" garbage DC has producing for years now.

Maybe that's just me, but I never really saw the supposed dualism between Batman and the Joker, or the weird moral dilemma that some people see between Batman's non killing policy. It's basically treating fiction as reality and I am generally not a fan of that. But without that, there is no real ambiguity in the ending. Or better, no real need for ambiguity.

In that case I think it's more that Conroy is good for a very specific kind of Batman. He is (more or less) compassionate-sounding. He can get angry or serious but when he does it is because someone has done something unforgivable rather than because it is his default state.

I watched a clip of the end of The killing joke and he completely nails the one moment he's genuinely talking to Joker and begging him to let him help him and I think that is because that is Conroy's strength. He absolutely rocks the compassionate element of Batman that is present in TAS. It's also why he is so frequently a poor fit for Arkham where Batman is kind of a poo poo. However him being The Batman Actor means he gets cast even in stories where Batman lacks the compassion that Conroy can sell so hard.

Those are some good points. The DCAU and especially its version off batman ist still the reason I would call myself primarily a DC despite not having a read DC comic since they came up with the new 52

As good as Weissmann can be, he tends to overdo it with the world building, to the detriment of the actual plot. The world tour in Gargoyles is way too long and basically shelves Lexington, Broadway and Brooklyn for a huge part of the series to establish a bunch of spin-off that never came to be anyway.
