Batman The Killing Joke Animated Movie

Alan Moore is a dink. I can't stand him.

Dual income, no kids... that's a little harsh on the man's lifestyle choice!

Moore did great work when he was with DC, but he is a weirdo. Saying he's become a wizard now instead of a writer. I think he's had one too many drinks.

Batman: The Killing Joke Animated Movie Will Add Some New Elements To Story

 

To fill out the length of an animated feature film, the producers of Batman: The Killing Joke have added new content to the movie, which may alleviate some of the concerns critics of the best-selling comic have had about the film.

 

As revealed on the special features on the Justice League vs. Teen Titans Blu-ray, just released, The Killing Joke will include more or Barbara Gordon's time as Batgirl than did Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's graphic novel.

 

HitFix's Donna Dickens, who has been one of the film's most vocal critics, got a few extra details, suggesting that the extra screen time may be able to help offset one of the longest-running problems with The Killing Joke: the fact that Barbara Gordon being shot and sexually assaulted uses a beloved female character as little more than a prop to support the male characters in her life.

 

"The one big difference about it, as opposed to those other projects (The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 & Part 2), is The Killing Joke... the source material is really not long enough to make an entire feature film out of," executive producer Bruce Timm said back in January. "So we actually had to add a lot more story to it. Which is tricky. But I think we came up with a really good solution on how that worked."

 

And there is your R-rating reference that in a movie compared to a comic book they may need to build out for those not familiar with The Killing Joke.

I noticed with the 16 reviews posted, 3 already gave it 1-2 stars.

 

- 1/5: NO ONE KNOWS IF THIS IS GOOD!

 

- 1/5: Balance - Simply for the fact a few decided to give it a perfect score before they even saw the damn movie yet

 

- 2/5: I hope they've changed the ending..

The REAL 1st trailer.

Wow, goosebumps all over.

[Dark Knight]

Drools!!!

[kinzebac]

This looks so awesome.

[Davenport]

The quick glimpses of Batgirl look straight out of 'The New Adventures'. I like it. A blend of Bolland designs with Timm designs. Plus Conroy and Hamill voices.

 

Bring it.

Just one bad day from being me.....

Sounds familiar.

It was used in Daredevil as a nod to Frank Miller.

The line was used in The Killing Joke first, I believe.

My only quibble from watching the trailer again is that I'm not quite sure I hear the menace in Conroy's voice. He always sounded like he had that snarl which added the perfect edge to his convincing rendition of Bats (and made such a nice foil for his version of Bruce), this just kind of sounds like he's narrating the comic without fully being in character.

I see your point. But maybe because the voiceover is when Batman is talking to the Joker in prison, and not during any heated fight?

edit: oh, wait. I read that as "two new" 22-minute episodes. Never mind.
