	Media	Author	Review
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"'The Killing Joke' won’t reach the classic status of its graphic novel inspiration because it’s simply not that good."
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Even if you still like 'The Killing Joke', this wasn’t the adaptation you wanted. It’s unsuccessful in a way that highlights the source material’s flaws while devaluing the work as a whole."
		Jesse Schedeen IGN	"As an adaptation, 'The Killing Joke' succeeds only when it sticks closely to the source material. Its attempts to embellish the original story end in disaster. Fans of that story or Joker in general should give it a watch"
		Tommy Cook Collider	"Half of 'The Killing Joke' terrifically builds on its source material (...) The prologue never quite gels with the rest (...) You’re better off turning the movie on thirty to forty minutes in and just watching the actual movie"
