Honestly, she just needs to feature in two scenes, just like in the original comic book: the one where she is shot and the one in the hospital where her paralysis is confirmed. Everything else, ESPECIALLY moments where she is in costume, would (and will) be superfluous. The Killing Joke simply wasn't a story about her and I'm not interested in changing that.

I'm so iffy about this movie. Been thinking about catching it at theaters, but...I don't know. The animation looks so bad. Maybe being surrounded by Batman fans would make me feel better lol

I hate to be that guy, but...it's the Killing Joke, all Batgirl has to do to not disappoint is take a bullet to the spine. Harsh but that's the story.

The more Tara Strong the better. The more classic Batgirl all the better too.

Either the movie will end book accurately (Batman, Joker, puddles, sirens, and nothing more) or not...if not, I probably won't even watch it.

Allegedly it will be very faithful, just with a big Batgirl prologue of sorts before the comic story begins.
Least that's how it seems to be from interviews and such so far.

Well the animation styles is already disappointing. So she's wrong on that account.

Can't have that, though. Somebody on tumblr might complain about it...

Not worth it. Was animated to be direct to video and on top of that the film is incredibly short not worth pay the admission of a ticket. I am just waiting for the Blu-ray.

Wow, I didn't even check the run time. 1hr and 35 minutes is hella short and tickets are going for 11 or 13 bucks or so.

And yet she was the character most deeply effected by it. Which has always been why, as far as Barbara Gordon goes, TKJ sucks the big one.

In YOUR opinion. In mine, it proved to be a gold mine of opportunities, even ones that couldn't have been foreseen at the time. Without her paralysis, Ostrander would have never thought of revitalizing her in his Suicide Squad one and I would have never had the chance to read comic books featuring Oracle, the only incarnation of Barbara Gordon I can bear for more than two vignettes. Is my opinion worthier than yours? Obviously not. Is the reverse true? Ditto.
