For me I was kind of underwhelmed by it. I mean, I was so worried about being triggered that I had my brother read it first.

When I did get around to reading it, before I saw the movie. I liked some of the dialogue, but overall the story was pretty bland. I guess back in the day, what the Joker did was considered shocking/mind breaking but, I kind expected something more elaborate?

Moore said that Barbara wasn't raped (who knows because of backlash) so I'm sticking with that interpretation. I also see the Joker as asexual, so it fits in with how I see his character.

(Still, I'm often left wondering: Why does anyone have to be naked?
It's humiliating and meant to degrade, sure. But it seems a bit low brow for the Joker. Perhaps I'm giving him too much credit?)

I was a bit bothered by Batman's reaction or lack there off. Like the last bit where the Joker makes Batman laugh was cool but at the same time it's like; ' You just stripped and degraded Jim, showed him naked pictures of his daughter, who you also stripped and possibly raped. Because of you she'll never walk again...But that's FUNNY.'

The art is absolutely gorgeous.

Like others, I'd say it was the movie who highlighted its problematic issues (and made them 10x worse). I do like that these issues are being talked about and recognized though.
