By now anyone who claims to be a fan of superhero films have
at least heard of the Alan Moore and Brian Bolland classic graphic novel,
BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE.
Being more
into movies, I’ve rarely peaked at the source material of any film – primarily because
I don’t want to taint my review with comparisons.
However, being a fan of Warner Bros. Animation’s
direct-to-disc films (owning them all), I am very familiar with them. Despite a few misses, they generally include high
quality storytelling in a 90-minute package.
With the film version of BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE high expectations come. From judging the final production, they were
too high.
