A lot of people watched Forrestfire’s Batman videos as kids, same here, so coming back to them years later it’s funny watching them and actually understanding the adult humour. Tho there were jokes I didn’t get as a kid the videos were still creative, funny, well put together and violent that I’d still be entertained. But this was the one that really threw me for a loop. However on returning to it and finally getting it, I don’t feel mind blown or nostalgic. I feel intrigued and saddened. This is a great adaptation of the Killing Joke Speech. The atmosphere, the calmness,the simplicity of the setting, the sadness and the Batman Returns music all make it really tremendous.

Better than the actual movie

I used to be a huge forrestfire fan, I didn’t stop liking the content, I just got a bit older but this one piece of content is the one video I will listen to after a couple of months and wish this was part of the comic/movie. Great content mate ❤️

I feel like the joker sort of regained his sanity for a little bit when he began talking about how his "bad day" made him the way he is now and how he just started being very honest with himself and batman about how truly lost he is emotionally and mentally

Bi find it annoying how people keep saying his name is Jack Napier, that's from a movie nothing to do with the comics! They won't reveal his name or actual past, that's what makes him mysterious and interesting!

I remember watching this years ago having no clue what the Killing Joke even was, so the dialogue was pretty surreal to me. I didn't really understand it back then seeing as I had no context, but now I appreciate it for the classic that it is. "Something like that... Something like that happened to me, you know." Is the most tragic the Joker has ever felt to me, and it's all because of how it's delivered here.

10 years and it's still the best animated killing joke movie

This is still CONSIDERABLY better of a monologue than the one in the movie. It's very disappointing but at the same time I'm glad I know of this one.

This is so scary yet it is all true. Everyone is being driven mad every second of their life. Slowly, silently, we try to remember where it begin but we like it anyway we can!!! So laugh at this joke that killed him. Everything we see and try to do we lose it in a dark hole called life. SO LAUGH, at the cruel joke of life. Mr. Joker you understand the world do you not.

I think this is a great demonstration on the conflict between Batman and the Joker. The Joker believes the world is nihilistic, there's no point to any of it, but people are delusional and try to force themselves to believe there are reasons for it all. That there is a reason why the bad things happen, that the laws in place works, but the Joker "sees through" that and that it's all pointless and he finds it hilarious why everyone keep believing there's a point to it all. Batman is the complete opposite. He believes in that the system can work if only you get out the corrupt part. People can be rehabilitated, bad people get due process and sent to jail. He believes there is a good and bad and that the good will prevail, which is why he doesn't do the thing the Joker wants him to do, kill him. He doesn't kill the Joker because it's not his decision, it's the courts, but the Joker and even Batman himself points out that the Joker just escapes and does the same evil again and again, which is why the Joker is so frustrated with Batman and why he doesn't see the pointlessness of it all and the reason is because Batman believes that the system CAN work and he just needs to fight for it. The whole battle is between order and chaos. Justice vs anarchy. An unstoppable force vs an immovable object. Batman vs the Joker

The actor here has Joker go through a range of emotions and even sounds somber at the end. It's just a lot more impactful.
