I wonder what a Killing Joke with Paul Dini would have turned out bad, would he have hold Azzarello back instead of going along like Bruce Timm did? Because another reason we got that first awful first act was Azzarello fault too (first he ruined Wonder Woman for years and the the Killing Joke)
Tbh, I think part of the Killing Joke movie going to hell is that DC oddly enough seems to not understand what the Killing Joke was about. Like the tagline is "one bad day" but they seem convinced that that idea is stupid or something because any chance they get they change it (when they never had to admit it officially as canon to begin with). Like the new 52 when I read it basically stated that it was the acid itself that made joker insane like typical superhero radiation stuff and that's how he was able to create various Harley Quinns until he found one that lived through the acid bath like he did. Instead of, you know, the point of the story being the reason Joker went insane and among other things.
