DC Animated Movie Review: Batman: *** The Killing Joke (2016)

 This movie has an R rating, but other places it is TV14.  I feel it is more a TV14.  It has a few bloody animated scenes.  It has the Joker (Mark Hamill) being incredibly bad.  And Commissioner Gordon's daughter/ Batgirl (Tara Strong) is shot and her spinal cord severed, leaving her in a wheel chair.  The Commissioner (Ray Wise) is actually kidnapped, and the Joker does everything in his power to break him, but he doesn't break.  It is Batman (Kevin Conroy) who comes to rescue him.  Batman is torn between needing Batgirl's help and needing her to be safe.  

Movie Reviews:****The Journey of Natty Gann

****"The Journey of Natty Gann"   is one of our family's favorite movies, but I couldn't interest anyone else in watching it with me; so watched it alone.  It is an enjoyable movie, with the struggle of  the depression era, the railroad tramps and camps.  Natty's father takes a job, and leaves his daughter behind.  He had no choice, and works in a logging camp.  He returns for his daughter, but she has gone looking for him.  She is presumed dead.  The grief of the father thinking he had lost his daughter, and then the classic restoration at the end.  This movie launched the career of John Cusack as he portrayed a drifter that befriends Natty.  Meredith Salenger stars as Natty Gann and Ray Wise as her father.
