giancarlovolpe:elfgrove:athenaltena:wouldyouliketoseemymask:Alan Burnett and Bruce Timm on Joker’s signature grinI heard them say once that if they had to change anything for the censors they would follow the instructions to the letter while making it substantially more horrific.When you put death off the table entirely as a narrative device for writers, I feel like you’re almost asking to get a lesson in “what is a fate worse than death?” It’s one thing to say hey limit the use of this theme because children’s show, or keep the actual depiction occurring off-screen (implied), but to flatly ban it means they have to get more creative to make that emotional gut-punch, and the result tends to be worse for the creative not-death.This is why it was awesome working for Bruce Timm.And this is why TAS is the only Batman series I will accept. -- source link
