fuck you Alan Moore

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love how Barbara took on the identity "Oracle" later on, which wouldn't have happened if killing joke never took place, BUT the way they executed it is just so damn wrong and foul. 0 respect for her character, and the amazing development into Oracle is only thanks to the retcon that took place, and not this shitty character assassination of a comic

Short, simple, and yet incredibly powerful. Honestly this is just stunning and easily prompts re-reads with specific focus on every single panel.
