tpkm0bR.png

 

Thanks to the looming release of the Suicide Squad and WB Animation's adaptation of the Alan Moore and Brian Bolland masterpiece, Batman: The Killing Joke was the best selling graphic novel for the month of May. Though it's undoubtedly receiving a boost from both films, it's still an impressive feat considering the controversial story was released 28 years ago.

 

In related news, the World Premiere of the animated adaptation has been confirmed for Friday, July 22, at SDCC. That's one day before the film is made available for purchase on select digital platforms. An exact time and room location have yet to be released, so check back when the official SDCC schedule is posted sometime in the coming weeks.
