Synopsis:

Carol was disliked by many including me, a girl. Didn't feel like a positive feminist role model. I wanted to see something I could relate to better. so.... This is a story all about how, an amnesiac Kree Starforce operative with mysterious powers, discovers her true past and slowly learns that her emotions can set her free from the shackles of those she once considered allies.

Intentions:

One of the irritable things about the later out-of-continuity DC movies that make use of the voice cast from the DC animated universe of shows...is that it often brings up the question of why don't they just make a continuation? Surely it can't be that problematic? Whatever their reasons, I feel like they waste big opportunities....and whenever they do go back to the DCAU, it's largely for superfluous reasons and giggles (Batman and Harley) I figured time has come to see if I can do something different with the Dark Knight. The goal here is to adapt "The Killing Joke" but give it more of a DCAU vibe, i.e, follow the continuity of Batman TAS/New Batman Adventures, include characters like Nightwing and Catwoman etc.

Change List:

Removing music is hard. Don't do it unless you really have to!! When cutting two shots together, motion is important. I felt this was important when removing Carols stupid scream. If I had not got the movement right, that cut would have been very jarring. Cuts and Additions: Colour graded entire movie to reflect Carol's emotional state. Added visual effects to reflect when Carol's implant was subduing her powers. Switched Carol and Yon Rogg door scene, to a deleted scene of Yon Rogg teaching children. Trimmed train scene due to redundancies in the dialogue caused by teaching scene. Removed Carol needlessly insulting her Kree colleague. Inserted deleted scene showing more upbeat and friendly interaction with Kree colleagues. On skrull ship, during memory search, cut some parts where she was obviously being 'put down by men'. Removed Carol screaming at skrull. it was stupid. Removed 'cockpit' comment on skrull monitor. Turned 'Ma Bell' into radio static and distortion. Removed Carol telling Fury "you finally asked a relevant question" Removed Biker "how about a smile?" Removed Fury and 'Keller' looking under autopsy blanket. Removed "noble warrior heroes", the way she said it was too smarmy. Removed Carols smirk and "huh" just before the "welcome wagon" in the pegasus facility. Inserted flashback to memories of Goose when they meet up with Goose in the corridor. Inserted a few relevant flashbacks when Carol is studying the files on the crash. Replaced Yon Rogg/Ronan scene with deleted scene of 'Keller' talking about tracking the plane. Re-inserted Yon Rogg/Ronan scene midway through the scene in Marie's house so as to make it feel like she was there longer. Inserted a shot of 'Goose' at the cut back to Marie's house. (from stock footage) Inserted some warm memory flashbacks when Carol is looking at old photos.... Inserted an unpleasant 'memory' of the 'Skrull' shooting Lawson, just before there is a knock on the door, to introduce more tension. Inserted scene of Yonn Rogg talking to supreme intelligence to show just how intimidating the supreme intelligence can be. Removed Carol saying " reached blah blah altitude" and inserted a reminder of her and Maria's relationship. Changed scene of scanning goose and fury, so it says "human" instead of "human male". Reduced volume of "come as you are". it just seemed way too loud to me. Removed memory of bike crash and baseball. these seem to serve only to suggest "she's clumsy because she's a girl". extended the gocart clip just to pad this out for the dialogue. Completely replaced montage of "Carol standing up because she's realised she's allowed to" with a montage of "Carol reflects on her friendships and realises her emotions give her strength". Removed "just a girl" and replaced it with "violet" by 'Hole'. Removed horrible effects shot of carol falling towards the ground. It was just ugly XD Removed Carol's line to Yon Rogg "I have nothing to prove to you". Removed Talos' reaction to Goose scratching Fury's eye. Now it is not indicated that This is the cause of his lost eye. Removed Maria's line asking Fury about his eye. Removed final scene to reinsert it as a mid credits scene Mid credits scene features part of a deleted scene of Fury walking to his office with both eyes intact. Obligatory edit of the end credits.
