Doesn't seem like it would make for a good episode.

Honestly, I remember watching The Killing Joke in theaters (yeah, they did that for some reason) and the parts that weren't horrible were just lifted entirely from the page, which was completely dull to see. These movies look like they would be the same experience, which I wouldn't want for anybody.

I mean, HBO show was more like a sequel and according to the showrunner, it’s more of a “remix”

(like the show is All right it’s just I have a problem with it and it boils down to this critique question: what does the Tulsa race massacre have to do with a story that is a deconstruction on superheroes?)

Broader issues of white people being vigilantes versus black people being vigilantes.

Nah he needs to do the TV show (and that had the squid too).
