Along with Frank Miller’s work on comics like
Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns,
Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Batman: The Killing Joke is
perhaps the most influential story on the Caped Crusader’s modern iteration—it
helped define the character as we currently know him. The 1988 one-off graphic
novel is dark and disturbing and the ramifications are still felt today. There
has been talk of adapting it before, but an animated version is on the way, and
now we have our first look in the form of a teaser and new featurette. Start
getting psyched.
