In itself, I found nothing wrong with the image; it was creepy, though, and I don't like rereading Killing Joke for exactly that reason. The art was good. It was, however, also an outlyer. Look at all the other Joker variants - they're almost all heroes punching up Joker. A couple where Joker has the upper hand or wins, but without implications. This is a notoriously sadistic villain having a young, frightened girl completely at his mercy, and a gun pointing at her nethers.

I can definitely see the argument that it simply doesn't fit the current series, and might scare off the new readersip. But as usual with social media outrage (and the obligatory counter-outrage), a lot of the context and tact was lost.
