A podcast by Dr. Andrea Letamendi & Brian Ward, dedicated to the psychological analysis of Batman: The Animated Series.
"The Killing Joke" Questions

So this happened last night.
The Blu-ray and DVD of "The Killing Joke" is out today! It's also available via digital outlets, so take a watch and then tune in to our next episode to hear our thoughts on what could be the most psychologically driven story in Batman history!
If you have questions, observations or comments, let us know here, so that we can address them when we record our episode tonight!




For those who viewing the film adaptation, i'd be curious to see how the changes to the script affect the relationships in the story (beyond what many of us already know about the changes to Barbara Gordon/Batgirl). My readings of The Killing Joke across the years have led me to feel that the story is wholly about the Joker and Batman and their relationship, and everyone else, even Commissioner Gordon and his terrible experiences within the story, are all collateral for what the violent emotional relationship between Joker and Batman. Some of the reviews i've read have talked about changes in the story from the comic, and i'm curious if the same interpersonal drive between characters is still there.
I personally don't have plans to see this, but i'm very interested to hear what the thoughtful Batman community here thinks.
Will post a review, if my camera and laptop can get together.
