I know its a classic comic story and it is just a comic, but some points were ridiculous beyond belief. I CAN SEE WHERE THE all stAR Batman AND Robin CAME FROM IN THIS

1) The Joker get a batarang IN HIS EYE- no scream or shout or reaction of pain just an "are you insane?" Really?As Alex Ross once said about Sin City- Millar really needs to be more realistic about how people react to pain (non verbaim)

2)An aging, past his prime, Batman got shot and stabbed multiple times by the Joker, goes under an operation and as soon as he wakes up, jumps up, gives a little groan and goes off to battle riding a HORSE??? Even Wolverine wouldve needed more time to rest and recuperate. See previous end note.

3) (this comes from part 1) Carrie Kelly- little girl can beat hardened criminals. With at least the original Robin we can say he got some training but she didnt. but can run through battle field knocking over the Mutants ,who dont seem to bother to stops her. Secondly, if shes Batmans assistant, shoudnt he have given her ,ya know A MASK rather than just keep her in a Robin suit and the same glasses she wears in her normal identity. Wouldnt someone you know RECOGNISE HER EASILY.

4) The Joker- violent murderer, killed hundreds spend years in a TRANCE. Wakes up and they let him have vistors, unmonitored??? Mix with the general population at Arkham AND GO OUT TO GO ON A TALK SHOW??? Maybe it'd have been a little more unDerstanding of his rehabilitation if TWO FACE DIDNT GO BACK TO CRIME A FEW MONTHS EARLIER!!!!!!!!!!

5 The Nazi chick with the swastika pasties, nuff said.

6) Over 6 foot tall batman can somehow lose body mass and disguise himself as a 5 foot tall old man without hunching

Comic books are absurd. And *beep* Zack Snyder for changing the end of Watchmen.

If you recall in some wild west films, almost all of the shooters missed when they fired, because in reality, it's not easy to hit a running target unless you're a hell of a good shot and not just some one who shoots at paper targets all day. A lot of those Clint Eastwood westerns had him walking towards gun fire, without a fear of getting shot.

What about Bats just breaking the shotgun with his hands while addressing the crowd, like it was a twig? Even for a SH cartoon that was pretty absurd lol!

I would've bought it if he did it while wearing the enhanced suit he dons at the end to fight Supes.

I smell weakness!

This "classic story" is a piece of crap, just like almost all of Frank Miller's work. Frank Miller is a hack.

Agreed.
And even after joker murders 200+ people at the show, batman is still the main focus for the police, and after that joker kills another 20+ people and batman finnaly kills him. Batman is now a monster murderer nr most wanted in america that needs to be taken down with everything they got......
