Batman: The Killing Joke: DC's upcoming animated film

Glad they brought back the original cast members of Batman: The Animated Series. Super excited for this one.

I have really really enjoyed these DC animated features. Batman: The Red Hood is my fav but I have enjoyed the majority of the titles. I am really looking forward to this one.

I have the graphic novel. It's pretty good, but it's not as good as Batman Year One or The Dark Knight Returns I&II.

I watched The Dark Knight Returns a few days ago and really enjoy it. I've got a few of these animated movies to catch up on.

You should read the graphic novel Optimus. The Dark Knight Returns is one of my favorite graphic novels period.

The Dark Knight Returns II? That was horrible and it showed Frank Miller did slowly but surely go insane.

The Killing Joke is actually centered on Joker and this particular take on Clown prince of Crime even more or less influenced Tim Burton & Nolan's version of him. From opening monologue to the end, it really got some greatest Joker-quotes ever.

DC have made some really good animated features over the years. Some of my favorites are:
Batman: Under the Red Hood (WB really should consider this story for their next Batman film),
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker,
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns,
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (a very possible future JL movie for DCCU),
Justice League: The New Frontier and
Batman: Assault on Arkham (The animated version of David Ayer's upcoming Suicide Squad!).

It wasn't great, but I still thought it was above average for a graphic novel. Way better than most DC and Marvel comics. I liked it more than Kick Ass. But yeah, the first The Dark Knight Returns is the only one I'd really endorse.

To be honest, DC animated features don't interest me in the slightest.

I love The Killing Joke comic, so I will check out the animated movie. Plus it has Conroy as Batman and Hamill as the Joker. I kinda have to.

It's kind of funny that DC took so long to re-release The Killing Joke, and now they're cashing out on it so much.

Yeah...at least it's better to go for the popular ones than using the crap NEW-52 story lines. Most of animated features that they've done lately based on post new-52 era, sucks! Even in the Batman films, they are giving too much focus on his son Damien Wayne...an utterly annoying character!

Batman: The Killing Joke animated film secures R-rating

It's the second Batman movie to do so

I just pre ordered the Blu Ray

I wish they'd do an adaptation for "Gotham by Gaslight".

I expect so much more from these movies. Flashpoint seems like the last visually impressive one.

KJ will be a good movie, but it looks like a weekday cartoon.

I agree DD. They should have gone "all out" with the movie animation, and they could have really dropped some jaws. The story sadly will have better art in the comic, and thats a shame. Though Brian Bolland was pure money.

I'm sure that Conroy and Hamill don't do these for free either.
