Grant Morrison thinks that Batman killed the Joker at the end of the Killing Joke. I guess he's a moron too.

When you state an ambiguous interpretation as fact, that's problematic to a conversation. The page itself states that the character is alive, that Batman did not kill him, and that he mocks him for not killing him.
If you started the conversation with "this is my interpretation" or "I find the scene ambiguous" then yes, we could discuss that, but you're treating people who read the scene in what is more logical and straightforward (because it's what was actually shown to the viewer), and one that makes more sense in the context of the story as wrong, and it really doesn't work.
And while your strawman of Morrison has no bearing on this discussion, I don't think Grant is an idiot. I just think he's wrong. Check section 3-4.
