For sure there is some trickery going on, whether it's your eyes or the set, or whatever. Guy is crazy big, and would've kept growing like "Andre The Giant" if he didn't get surgery and therapy to nullify that syndrome. Andre just had a mindset that he would go out the way he was made. Big Show decided that he didn't want to die in his 40's.
The movie was awful and I don't know who came up with the concept. DC is usually on point with their animated stuff. The target audience was obviously NOT people who had read the comic.
I think, if you skip the first 10-15 minutes, it was very well done in regards to being true to the source.

Other than the stuff that wasn't in the comic at the beginning, it was fine. There is just something that gets lost in translation, when you take a comic and adapt it verbatim to the screen. It doesn't have the same effect. "Batman: Year One" fell flat for me all the same, as did others with a similar template.
"Watchmen" also felt a little hollow, because all it did was re-create the comic for the most part. A fine companion piece, but as an original work, it's just an imitation.

Yeah, that part was ridiculous and totally unnecessary. The only reason they did it, was because they figured out that "The Killing Joke" was a pretty goddamn short comic, and they had to pad it with something.
Overall though, the whole thing of adapting comics to the screen in such a page by page manner, is kind of pointless. It always rings hollow to me. Only exception being "Sin City", as I thought they did it right. Can't really explain it, but the casting and direction was just so spot on, that it really did bring the comics to life. Might've helped that the comics themselves were a little lifeless to begin with.

These are my inside glasses, bud. Don't be a hater. Ray Bans baby.
I need glasses for inside and outside due to my eye problems. It didn't occur to me that I should put on my better glasses for a tattoo picture.
TBH, I didn't even like the subject material. The failed standup comedian backstory for the Joker is super lame imo. They did the best that they could with it in the movie with Joaquin Phoenix. I don't know whether Heather Ledger's incredible depiction just soured me on all other versions or if I just grew out of finding them interesting. My favorite after his is the BTAS version, especially in Mask of the Phantasm.

The only problem I ever had with that show from start to finish was all those nerds getting laid by hot women all the time yet they never ceased whining about what geeks they were and how they never got laid. I still liked it later in the series.

I actually love The Killing Joke. It's meant as a standalone but set up the Oracle character. It's very well written (and the Joker bits are unreliable narration), and the ambiguous ending really sells.
In the comics, he is quite the quip master. The laughter is meant to be interpreted as genuine, not "evil". It's only evil in the context of what he's laughing at.
