In The Killing Joke the Joker is telling the story of his origin to Batman, but he admits that it may not be true. What he's really doing is using a story that parallels Batman's own origin in an attempt to convince Batman that they are no different - that they are both insane. So in context, it's saying Savile would want people to believe he wasn't evil, just messed up by something, it could have happened to anyone, but he didn't truly believe it.

Wait, thats what he looks like in motion? If anything the cartoons were being generous...

Anyway, I am a bit disappointed that he didn't show any of the Bell drawings, Gromit doesn't actually look anything close to as bad as rape victim panda.

edit: Also they've been very nice about not bringing up his speech impediment too. Unless of course everybody in his town talks like that, which would be quite nuts.
