Warner Bros. has released the first full trailer and a batch of images for their direct-to-video animated feature "Batman: The Killing Joke".
Directed by Sam Liu ("Batman: Year One"), the film is based on Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's award-winning 1988 graphic novel which pits Batman against the Joker in one of their most brutal confrontations. Furthermore, the movie is rated R for "some bloody images and disturbing content", which is definitely a first in the realm of DC Comics animation.
The voice cast features veterans Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker, and they are joined by Ray Wise as Commissioner James Gordon and Tara Strong as Barbara Gordon.
Here is what the studio announced in a press release regarding the film's R rating:
"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.""Batman: The Killing Joke" is expected to premiere at the Comic-Con this summer followed by a release on DVD and Blu-ray later this year.
Check out the trailer and images after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"As Batman hunts for the escaped Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime attacks the Gordon family to prove a diabolical point mirroring his own fall into madness."
