I guess this is the new regime fixing the movie?
That's some photoshop.

Oracle=Peak Barbara Gordon. Sucks that she's in the chair, but that's what it is.

Because of the comics is why. Their connection makes no sense in this film.

I honestly don't see why this scene was so shocking to people. If people saw Mystery of the Batwoman, they would know that Bruce and Barbara had a sexual relationship

I don't think it was specifically that scene.. but everything that went into it.. but the movie just wasn't good, there was a ton wrong with the movieI honestly don't see why this scene was so shocking to people. If people saw Mystery of the Batwoman, they would know that Bruce and Barbara had a sexual relationship
it's like they took the potentially small thing from the comic.. and tried to avoid that.. but just made a crap movie

It was such a letdown. You can't expect everyone to have read every single storyline and for most causal fans the scene was shocking and unnecessary. What made it worse was them making her like some jilted girlfriend. It was ridiculous

No one liked it then. No one liked it in Batman Beyond. And no one likes it now. It's literally as simple as that. For all his talents though, Bruce Timm remains enamored with the idea of Bruce Wayne ******* Jim Gordon's daughter. You wanna add some scenes of Barbara Gordon being Batgirl to help flesh her character out a bit? Go right ahead. But don't make it into a forced romance that ends with her quitting like an angry ex-girlfriend. People don't want that **** man. No one reads The Killing Joke for that. They read it to see the origin of the Joker, Barbara Gordon getting gunned down, Jim Gordon being mentally tortured, and Batman being pushed to his mental limits like never before, possibly ending the story by killing the Joker. Throwing romance into a story that doesn't suit it is a terrible idea. It'd be like throwing in a Batman/Catwoman sex scene in Death in the Family, right before we have Joker bashing in Jason Todd's skull with a crowbar and blowing him to hell.

How does one not understand adding a frivolous sex scene and romantic subplot to the Killing Joke is not good?

I still don't see the problem. Two themes in the movie were obsession and how intense the crime fighting life really is on a daily basis. That intensity and obsession bleeds over into other things and feelings. Wouldn't call it a romance at all.

The Batgirl stuff they added to TKJ wasn't necessary. I think they needed something to lengthen the movie. I still liked it, but maybe it wasn't the best choice for adaption.

You don't call Barbara talking to her gay friend about her feelings for Batman romance?
If you really don't see the problem then no amount of explaining is going to do it. Simply put, it didn't fit and wasn't necessary, making it the worst kind of addition to what many consider one of the greatest Batman stories of all time.EDIT: almost forgot about Barbara getting angry at dude who was arguing with his girlfriend and literally throwing him into a bush
Really is a shame that they didn't just stick to the comic, like they did with Year One.

They could've made a Batgirl prelude for TKJ without making it like The O.C.

I think about it more and they could've added cool stuff that stayed on topic of they needed more material.
Extend the events of the day or a subplot about some side character where one bad day changed everything.

I read that Nolan let Ledger direct this video threat himself and was terrified at the end result
That LOOK AT ME = encapsulated the entire character -- dangerous, unpredictable, and pure evil
