If you've never read Alan Moore's classic Batman: The Killing Joke, to me it's the story that sums up the Joker's twisted outlook on life perfectly, ans sums up that Batman is basically no less of a lunatic. A point I've always contended and remains the only thing keeping his character interesting. It's probably best remembered for being the tale in which the Joker shoots Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara(then Batgirl) and paralyzes her, in one of the harshest moments in Batman's history. But second to that comes an amazing speech the Joker delivers to Batman near the conclusion, the great "one last day" speech, which filmmaker Forrest Whaley has recreated using LEGO mini-figures. It's pretty sweet, and the voicework by Patrick Girts is on point. Check it out below, and hope we get The Killing Joke in a full feature film some day...
