Story x Story #65: So The Joke Was On Us (Batman: The Killing Joke)

In Story x Story this week Nigel and Tazziii welcome Annabel Ashalley-Anthony, founder of Melanin Gamers and resident DC Stan to discuss Batman: The Killing Joke. We cover this animated adaptation of a classic graphic novel and definitive Joker origin story. We also talk about the problematic inclusion of the Barbara Gordon prologue in the animation version as well and this dark interpretation of the Joke character. This week’s storytelling tip is about making good use of plot devices in your story.

Stories we’re enjoying: Horizon Zero Dawn, Tiger & Bunny, Yasuke, Deadly Class, Black Lagoon
