The Killing Joke Trivia Quiz

Answer: Batgirl

The first half of the animated version was all new content as the movie was based on a single issue comic book.

The new opening had Batgirl giving an overview of how things used to be. At that point she had been helping Batman for about three years.

Answer: Paris Franz

She helped to stop him from stealing an armored truck in the first action sequence, where he developed a respect for her. The next 20 minutes of the movie then dealt with her learning how to handle an obsessive criminal.

Francesco eventually killed his own uncle as a "gift" to Batgirl. After that, she and Batman took care of him for good.

Answer: Librarian

Barbara was the daughter of police commissioner Jim Gordon. As far as anyone knew she was just a librarian. She served as Batman's protege during this story, and later on in the comic continuity (after the events of this tale stopped her from being Batgirl) she served as Oracle.

Answer: She was shot in the spine by The Joker.

The Joker tracked her down, though it wasn't clear if he knew she was Batgirl, or just attacked her because she was Jim Gordon's daughter. He went to her apartment, and when she answered the door he shot her and kidnapped her father who was there at the time.

A result of the shooting, she ended up permanently crippled and bound to a wheelchair.

At the time she shot, she was taking a break from being Batgirl, and didn't have the costume on.

Answer: False

There was a clear distinction that they were not dating. Barbara was clearly attracted to him and wanted more, but he viewed their relationship as that of a mentor and student.

Then one night on a rooftop, while they were arguing they had an intimate moment. They didn't speak for days after, and never started dating.

Answer: Arkham Asylum

No one knew that the Joker had escaped from Arkham yet when Batman and Jim Gordon went to him.

Batman found another inmate in Joker's cell wearing a costume to look like Joker.

Answer: Comedian

Joker was a wannabe stand up comedian, but he struggled to make people laugh. He was a bit of a loser, who couldn't support his wife and unborn child. That's when he turned to a criminal organization for work, and eventually became the Joker.

Answer: Making a scrapbook

Jim was at Barbara's apartment making a scrapbook about the Joker. He and Barbara were talking about his Catwoman scrapbook and how he needed a better filing system.

That's when the Joker came to the door. Joker made several jokes about her being a "softback" and other references to her, now destroyed, spine before having Jim hauled off.

Answer: The Red Hood

The Red Hood, as told in this movie, was whoever the expert was on the job the mob was pulling. This time the Joker donned the hood and helped them break into a chemical company. During the robbery he fell into a stream filled with chemical waste, which warped his mind and turned him into the Joker.

Answer: False

Batman kept trying to talk reason into the Joker, explaining that if something didn't give one of them would eventually kill the other.

Joker tells a joke about two inmates escaping from the mental institute and the pair start laughing with each other.

The movie end with both of them laughing as the screen goes dark.
