The NZA Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 source ...the core DCAU will have 3 new films next year Batman: Bad Blood, which apparently will introduce Batwoman. Justice League vs Titans (which curious about since assumed would continue nu52 line and don't know of a crossover with them yet?) And an adaption of The Killing Joke https://twitter.com/80Grey/status/619716545120342016 https://twitter.com/theRealmCast/sta...16599730171905 https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/619716971567804416 https://twitter.com/DCComics/status/619717467078725632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Man I hope this happens. I think the only other Joker I've liked as much as Mark Hamill was Kevin Michael Richardson's, but I don't think his voice would work in The Killing Joke. I think this needs Conroy and Hamill.

The NZA Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Batman: The Killing Joke receives R rating Batman: The Killing Joke isn’t kidding around. Warner Bros’. direct-to-video animated film based on the notorious Alan Moore comic has been rated R, the studio’s home entertainment division tells EW exclusively. The Killing Joke marks the first film in the DC Universe Original Movie franchise to receive an R rating, and the second Batman movie to do so. (The extended home-video version of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was the first.) Starring Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne, Mark Hamill as the Joker, and Tara Strong as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, The Killing Joke is an origin story that finds the Clown Prince of Crime taunting the Dark Knight by capturing and torturing Batgirl. The original comic was published in 1988 and remains polarizing, with some hailing it as a definitive Joker story and others criticizing it as misogynistic. “From the start of production, we encouraged producer Bruce Timm and our team at Warner Bros. Animation to remain faithful to the original story — regardless of the eventual MPAA rating,” said Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation & Warner Digital Series, in a statement. “The Killing Joke is revered by the fans, particularly for its blunt, often-shocking adult themes and situations. We felt it was our responsibility to present our core audience — the comics-loving community — with an animated film that authentically represented the tale they know all too well.” There are currently no plans for an edited PG-13 version of the film. Batman: The Killing Joke will make its world premiere at Comic-Con International in San Diego this summer, with a release on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD to follow later in the year. i'm not crazy about the transfer of Bolland's beautiful art, but there's a lot to be excited about here!

It's a step down for sure, but I like that it still looks really dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) First official trailer. Looks like it's gonna be faithful, but I'm not liking the animation. The stills look great, but I don't like it in motion. I guess I've been spoiled by Japanese anime. Edited April 27, 2016 by The NZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yeah I'll be watching for Hammil and Conroy. That animation isn't very good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I love that DC is faithfully adapting the stories of so many great Batman comics. However, them skimping on animation costs and not staying true to the art of the comics is really frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The animation looks fine, it's on par with some of their better TV work. Do you have any idea how much an artistically faithful The Killing Joke would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It doesn't have to be artistically faithful, just... better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's really only The Joker's face that doesn't work. They can't seem to decide how detailed they want it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 But it's also the animation. Movement. It's so artificial. Don't know. Like I mentioned, I'm used to anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 having followed/caught up on DCAU & seen a lot of their new 52 stuff: yeah, the quality varies, and this doesn't look on the higher end of it. everything else about it seems spot-on so i'm sure i'll roll with it when it's out!

Mr. Hakujin Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Do you have any idea how much an artistically faithful The Killing Joke would cost? No. Do you? It doesn't have to be artistically faithful, just... better. This. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well I couldn't give you an accurate estimate but considering that the more complicated the drawing the more difficult it is to animate and thus the more expensive to do, I would say it would cost roughly all of the money.

Lorelei Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Glad I saw this thread, I enjoyed TKJ comic loads, and remember Batman The Animated and Batman Beyond from when I was a kid. I had a couple of the toys from the former, still do, and keep them on my desk at work. Maybe I'll start waking up early on a Saturday morning and watch some cartoons! I'm not familiar with any DC animated stuff, though. Luckily for me I don't really like anime, but am open-minded, and when tried before have enjoyed the oldskool stuff like GTO and Cowboy Bebop. What I'm saying is, for me, the slightly primitive animation is quite charming and doesn't bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 not long to go for this, it seems in the US they are showing it -- only for a day -- in some cinemas. any of you going to venture down to one and give it a watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
