IS DC CHANGING THIS ICONIC BATMAN STORY?

Has this particular joke run its course?

DC may be removing an iconic Batman story from continuity, at least if Batgirl #49 is to be believed.

The current Batgirl storyline revolves around Barbara Gordon's clash with The Fugue, a villain who has invaded her mind and altered her memories to make her believe that he's actually a childhood friend named Greg. This issue saw Barbara's friend Frankie travel into her brain and try to set things right. Frankie teamed up with the digital copy of Barbara Gordon that previously appeared in Batgirl #40, and together the two pursued Fugue across Barbara's memories.

As the chase unfolded, it became clear that Fugue was inserting other false memories into Barbara's mind, including one where her father discovered her secret identity and accidentally fell to his death.



One key page showcased a variety of false, unhappy memories, one of which featured an image of the Joker from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke.



Taken at face value, this page seems to suggest that The Killing Joke never actually happened and that Barbara's entire ordeal with Joker was nothing more than a nightmare created by Fugue. Artist Babs Tarr lent fuel to that fire when she tweeted the following:

This isn't the first time the current Batgirl creative team have worked to distance Barbara Gordon from The Killing Joke. The series was the source of a minor controversy last year when DC revealed and then promptly canceled a grisly variant cover that paid homage to The Killing Joke and featured Batgirl being held captive by Joker.

However, actively removing The Killing Joke from continuity would be a significant change in direction for DC. The graphic novel has had a huge influence on the direction of the character, both during her tenue as Oracle and in the current series as she regained the use of her legs and struggled to move past that trauma. Retconning the story also wouldn't explain why Barbara was paralyzed for so long and why Batman, Joker and many other characters recall the events of The Killing Joke.
