So for adults who read comic books, "darker is better" appears to be the stuff that sells.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-76713174655935555902016-04-04T14:18:07.579-06:002016-04-04T14:18:07.579-06:00This sounds really dark, but that seems to be what...This sounds really dark, but that seems to be what this genre is all about.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-19019227519912798582016-04-04T13:35:26.550-06:002016-04-04T13:35:26.550-06:00They already did a Dark Knight Returns animated mo...They already did a Dark Knight Returns animated movie (2 technically) so this seems like common sense. Maybe they'll do Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum next while they're doing famous Batman stories from the 80s. Though recent Batman animated features have been mixing together bits of the Batman comics of the last 10 years or so.<br /><br />I'd love a trilogy for Knightfall, Knightquest, and Knightsend from the 90s but that's probably asking for too much.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-4894013864732190982016-04-04T03:49:03.012-06:002016-04-04T03:49:03.012-06:00It's such a complex and disturbing story, it d...It's such a complex and disturbing story, it deserves a live action, big screen treatment, not an animated feature.Alex J.

I have heard of this story but never read it. Love the teaser and have already been thinking of buying The Killing Joke this year when I have cash to spare. Thanks for sharing Mike. Funny that it's the animation that goes to the furthest places and not the live action movies.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.com
