The movie pretty much did its job. The main issues I had with it are the ones everyone is talking about, so no need for me to get into that.
It's great seeing Conroy and Hamill at it again, but the animation was really disappointing. The style was mostly fine, you can tell at times that these are some of the same people behind the 90s Batman and Justice League series, but at points embarrassing.
Best example would be the iconic scene from the original comic when Joker first emerges from the acid chute. The fact that they tried to replicate that COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLE made it seem very out-of-place. They should have just kept to what the entire movie looked like. There's also a lot of points when they're clearly using Flash to cut corners, and those horses on the carousel? Jesus christ, they looked like they belonged in a PSP game. How did they think that looked okay? If it was a minor background piece that would only be on-screen for 2 seconds, I'd find it forgivable. But that was a lit up (literally) center piece for a big scene.
Anyway, certain scenes and monologues were enjoyable, but now I feel like this movie was unnecessary. The comic itself was still done a lot better.
