Both killing joke colorings are terrible.

Oddly enough the new "noir" version looks pretty awful too. There are some really great, striking panels but overall it's all muddled and shitty.

>>85909657
Wait theres anoter new coloring?

>>85909673
yes it came out a few weeks ago i think

>>85909673

The original at least has atmosphere. In OP's scene, it looks as if Batman and Joker are doing battle in some kind of lurid carnival hell- which is actually where they're doing battle.

The recolor from a decade ago makes it look like Batman and the Joker are fighting backstage at a community college auditorium.

Gotta be better then
>fuck backgrounds just splash a coat of purple on it
And
>colored lights what are those

>>85911171
The colorist had nothing to do with whether Bolland drew backgrounds or not

>>85909618
Recolor is good, original coloring is bad.

>>85911203
Did you see the fucking batcave anon.

>>85911207
The recolor isn't even good when taken on its own without comparison to the original

Maybe this isn't what you're referring to

>>85911338
That is what im refering to yes

>>85911123
Redrawn looks better.

>>85911403
But that isn't just "splash a coat of purple"

I still can't believe Bolland agreed to the recoloring.

Color is so important and it's something that DCAnimated CONSTANTLY fucks up in a massive way.

The producers seem to think that every DCAnimated film should feature the same muted, muddled, boring color palette.

Compare the DKR adaptation to the original: DKR has the same grey, muted, rain soaked color scheme as virtually every other DCAnimated film. The source material is vibrant and visceral- the blacks are blacks, the yellows pop, the sky is bright with a sickly haze.

Placing the two images side by side makes one question if the animators even read the comic.

>>85911271
You're wrong.

>>85911467
He really didn't like how the original did the flashbacks

>>85911461
Its still horrible

>>85911492
Good argument

>>85909618
No. The original colors, whether people with today's sensibilities like them or not, belonged to their time. A comic made in 1988 shouldn't look like a comic from 2008 and shouldn't be made to look like one. It's like colorizing classic black and white movies.

>>85911487
Poor example you picked, since TDKR was as faithful an adaptation as you could make.

Killing Joke was the worse you could make.

The recolor is alright but the original reminds me of some kind of Dario Argento movie, I dig it.

I like the new one.

>>85909618
The Killing Joke is terrible

Are they ever going to stop milking this thing?

>>85911653
>TDKR was as faithful an adaptation as you could make.

Yeah, if you know nothing about comic story telling.

That adaptation took Miller-at-his-peak-level staging, pacing, and rhythm and transformed it all into something completely run of the mill. Yes, the main narrative is largely intact, but the narrative alone is not what makes DKR great.

Year One suffered in the exact same manner- sure, it was well produced, they recreated the big moments, and the voice cast was solid, but they failed to capture the meticulous structure and timing that made that comic a classic in the first place.

>>85911940
Are you Alan Moore? What's it to you?

>>85911950
Still, it's the best adaptation you will get given the circumstances. No need to be autistic about it.

>>85911986
If that adaptation was always going to be sub-par, then what is the point in creating it?

I mean, the actual answer is "DC knows it can make money by selling this shit to nerds", but humor me here.
