Maybe this proves, you can't go home again. The creators are obviously more interested in more adult material, and the fans just want more BTAS. Why anyone thought you'd get that with the very adult and disturbing Killing Joke story, I'm not sure, but their new material has compounded the issues with that story, rather than solve them, for many at least.

over all I really liked the movie. I even liked the prologue but the sex scene was definitely not necessary. I don't think the R rating was necessary either, even with the sex scene. they did not show anything more than her bra, big deal. they could have easily gotten the normal pg13 on this but I think they wanted an R rating to say, "see we are cool and edgy too". either way, I liked the movie and would not give an negative spin on it. the animation was good, the voice cast perfect.
I have not read the graphic novel since it came out, but I think I will have to dig it out and give it another readComment

^I have nothing but the greatest admiration for Timm...but the guy's got a dirty mind.
I have some of his art books. He likes to draw LOTS of naked women in his cartoony style. So knowing that...you give him an "R" rating, and a story that's already very "adults only" and this was bound to happen.
As I said, he really already went there with Bruce and Barbara. It was only mentioned in Batman Beyond by the older Babs, but they had a relationship. Clearly, it was a physical one. So it's part of the sacred BTAS continuity...like it or not. And honestly, I never really have.
