Sauceboss 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 So I have to do a monologue for class, and I have to present it when I graduate, and I put off my graduation because I wanted it to be something that would leave a mark, be it funny, or just ownage. As EVERYONE knows by this point, I am a HUGE Joker fan. Batman is basically the only DC comic I like, and I absolutely love the way the Joker has evoled. My favorite story of the Joker EVER is "The Killing Joke" by Alan Moore. I finally got my hands on it, and there's 3 monologues in this book. One of them is more of a song, but I decided to mix both of them, one is aimed that Gordon the Police Chief, and the other is at Batman himself. I'm not sure if I can pull it off, or how it's gonna go, but this is the monologue taken straight from the book, basically word for word save for one word or so. Why I'm posting this here, I dunno but I guess if you guys wanna comment or give me suggestion that'd be cool :3 Oh Barb? Please don’t worry. It’s a psychological compliant, common amongst ex-librarians. You see, she thinks she’s a coffee table edition…Mind you, I can’t say much for the volume’s condition. I mean, there’s a hole in the jacket, and the spine appears to be damaged. Quite frankly I don’t think she’ll be walking off the shelves in that state of repair. In fact, the idea of her walking anywhere seems increasingly remote. But then, that’s always been a problem with most soft-backs. God, these literary discussions are so dry. When you’ve finished with the old boy, you know where to take him, and please do be careful! After all he IS topping the bill. You know it’s such a shame you’ll miss your father’s debut, miss Gordon. Sadly our venue wasn’t built with the disabled in mind. But don’t worry…I’ll take some snapshots to remind him of you. Why am I doing this you ask? To prove a point. Here’s to crime. Oh so I see you received the free ticket I sent you. I’m glad. I did so want you to be here. You see it doesn’t matter if you catch me and send me back to the asylum…Gordon’s been driven mad. I’ve proved my point. I’ve demonstrated there’s no difference between me and everyone else all it takes is One. Bad. Day. To reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just One. Bad. Day. You had a bad day once, am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a Bad. Day. And everything changed. Why else would you dress up as a flying rat? You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy as everybody else… Only you won’t admit it. You have to keep pretending that life makes sense, that there’s some point to all this struggling! God you make me want to puke. I mean, what IS it with you? What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger? Something like that, I bet. Something like that…Something like that happened to me, you know. I…I’m not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another… If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! But my point is. My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was, I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can’t you? I mean you’re not unintelligent! You must see the reality of the situation. Do you know how many times we’ve come close to world war three over a flock of geese on a computer screen?! Do you know what triggered the last world war? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed it’s war debt creditors. TELEGRAPH POLES! It’s all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for…It’s all just a monstrous, demented gag! So why can’t you see the funny side? Why aren’t you laughing?

honki 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 ok saucy, I think its time to have an intervention. If you think the killing joke is the best joker story we've got some work to do. He is best when he's playful, not bat-shit insane. Ima have to whip up a list of things for you to track down and read. The quote about babs reminds me when Gordon shoots J in the kneecap in No Mans Land. He starts screaming at bats 'You let him do this to me? He shot my knee i may never... oh... like your daughter! I get it!' Remember kids, when villains get together they tell each other joker stories to scare each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauceboss 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 I like the way the portray the joker in the killing joke, and I like the way it tells his story. Imo it's the best that I've read. I'm a fan of the Joker when he's just a vicious black humor killer, but the killing joke is more about his story then just him being crazy. I'm also a HUGE fan of his monologue to batman, and how he goes about it so it'll probably always be my favorite, but by all means honki tonk! Write me up a list!
