DC fans were very excited when it was announced that Batman: The Killing Joke would be adapted into an animated film. Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, the voices of Batman and The Joker in many Batman projects respectively, have stated they would love to voice on the film, but no official news has really been released since the initial announcement.
However, a recent tease has hinted at a potential announcement for the animated film.
New York Comic Con’s Batman: Bad Blood First Look panel saw director James Tucker talk about his experience working on the DC animated films, including adaptions and original stories. Tucker is quoted as saying the following:
“At first, we were pretty much told that was what we were going to do, is to do a new universe thing coming off the New 52. But having said that, I actually really enjoy what we’re doing. And also we do three movies a year, two of them are in continuity and one is an adaptation, or an original, or whatever we want it to be. So we still do adaptations. Killing Joke is next year. So you’re kind of getting the best of both worlds, because there’s a finite amount of adaptations really. So doing one a year as opposed to three a year is probably going to make them last a little longer.”
Continuing with his mentioning of The Killing Joke, Tucker then added the following hint at the rating:
“And you know, they said we could make it a R. Not saying that’s what it will be, but we’ll see.”
Thoughts on this rumour? Would you like to see The Killing Joke get an R-rating?
