holy awesome! this is going to be wicked.. orr.... will it be too dark for the masses? cause... you know. some people are clearly overly sensitive on body count in DC movies but nor star wars or marvel flicks.

Most likely with this animated movies the critics as well as most of those who are going to watch this animated film are ones who have read the comics or knows what this story arc is all about so if it stays true to the comics then it should be R rated or else it wouldn't work.

dauntingpixel2922d ago

i'm just saying... this is likely to be pretty violent. i'll watch this for sure.

SmielmaN2922d ago

Awesome. Can't wait to see it as well. Dark Batman story with Hamill and Conroy?!? F ya.

aDDicteD2923d ago

The killing joke would not work if it's not r rated so I'm looking forward to a very faithful adaptation of this story.

SarcasticDuck2922d ago

since when this is a news? anyone who knows what the Killing Joke is about were already certain it would be R-rated!

dauntingpixel2922d ago

the news came out yesterday so i'd say that april 14, 2016 is officially when it became news. =)

SarcasticDuck2922d ago

whatever, that isnt my point

ZaWarudo2922d ago

Well, it makes sense considering the stuff in the comic, but don't expect a hard R.

SarcasticDuck2922d ago
