The Killing Joke

The Killing Joke is a DC comic released in 1988 that was written by Alan Moore. It is an origin story for the Joker that has been highly regarded in the comic industry. It was recently adapted to a very close, nearly page to frame in some spots, to an animated film (released to DVD and Blu-ray earlier this month on August 2nd).

While the comic and DC animated universes have lots of cross over, this one has another link to Batman: The Animated Series. It has the wonderful voice talent of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Tara Strong. Reprising their roles brings a strong familiarity to these beloved characters in the newest DC animated property. Even after 24 years, these voices are still the ones that feel the most representative of these iconic characters.

Here is another source with some further information about the release.
