BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE Animated Movie

What many fans calling the ultimate Joker story will become an animated movie.

DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. revealed the three DC Universe Original Movies coming in 2016, including an adaptation of the classic, Batman: The Killing Joke.

The big news followed a world premiere at San Diego Comic-Con with Bruce Timm’s latest animated movie, Justice League: Gods and Monsters, featuring Timm’s radical new take on Justice League icons.

Batman: The Killing Joke is the classic graphic novel written by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland with a potential (but not exactly trustworthy) origin for the Joker. This is the story that led to a paralyzed Barbara Gordon to retire as Batgirl…temporarily. Continue reading BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE Animated Movie

WELCOME ALL-NEW BATMAN

“And where is the Batman?!” Jack Nicholson’s Joker famously asked Gotham City in Tim Burton’s Batman.

He’s right here in the pages of Batman #41 and he’s absolutely badass.

Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Mark Doyle and the rest of Team Batman could have kept on with a winning formula. After The New 52 rebirth featuring Bruce and the Bat family against the Court of Owls, Batman faced The Death of the Family in a battle with the Joker, then went back to Zero Year for a origin filled thriller against The Riddler and finally a game-changing rematch The Joker in Endgame – they could have redefined a classic villain with an action-packed epic sure to keep satifying fans. Instead the team have taken a huge creative risk and by the first chapter alone it’s going to be huge payoff. Continue reading WELCOME ALL-NEW BATMAN
