The Killing Joke is not a nice story for any of the characters there. Everybody there is victimized, even the Joker with his origin story. To be fair, in the novel, Barbara is used as a plot device and really doesn't add anything else to the story. A scene where Bats and Barb get intimate seems very unnecessary. I can't see it being done to well, but I guess I'll find out soon enough when I see the movie.

Well, if being portrayed as a completely inept character is better than a plot device then congrats are in order.... I guess?...

Well, I haven't seen it yet, so I can't say how they handled it from my view, but if it's how you said, then the beginning of the movie is kind of just wasted, especially since none of that happened in the novel and is just adding depth to her in a way that backfired. It all started in Arkham Asylum after all and should be portrayed as that. I'll still watch it since the cast seems too perfect to not watch it.
