In what has to be one of the best Batman stories ever, Batman: The Killing Joke is being made into an animated feature. It is an adaptation of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s famous comic book storyline, and Warner Bros. / DC has gone to great lengths to make sure it’s the movie fans want. Not only does the animated direct-to-video feature reunite voice actors Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, it boasts an R rating. Here’s the setup if you are unfamiliar with the story… As Batman hunts for the escaped Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime attacks the Gordon family to prove a diabolical point mirroring his own fall into madness. If you weren’t happy with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice thenthis upcoming release may be just what you need… Watch the first Batman: The Killing Joke trailer below.
Batman: The Killing Joke is set to premiere at Comic-Con in July, with release on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital HD sometime later this year.
