1.) I think The Killing Joke was a very interesting comic that delves into The Joker character and gives him a bit of backstory into his life and why he may be the way he is. It also goes into the relationship between him and Batman, and how far they are willing to go in the midst of their constant battle. Overall I really liked the story and found it fun to read. I also really enjoyed the art style by Brian Bolland with his great line quality and expressions on characters (joker especially) The comic is really gritty and dark but still fairly colorful.
2.) I had a connection to this story because Batman was their first comics I have ever read. It is really nostalgic to me and brings me back to reading these comics as a child. Mostly it's the art style that connects with me the most, since it is so classic super hero comic style with the black shading and detailed character design.
3.) If I had to adapt this story into a different media I would create an animated film. I feel doing a stop-motion superhero film is something that hasn't been done before (If it has I haven't seen it.) I think a Tim Burton like stop motion film thats really stylized to be a bit creepy would be something really interesting. And considering this comic is something Tim Burton is a huge fan of, I feel it would be really great as a passion project of sorts. I wouldnt make any changes to keep close to the source material. It would need some more scenes to reach a movies run time. Maybe include more backstory to Joker and even some more for Batman to drives home that there is a connection and similarities between them.
