Batman: The Killing Joke is a 2016 American animated superhero film produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Featuring the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the twenty-sixth film in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. The film is directed by Sam Liu, written by Brian Azzarello and stars the voices of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, and Ray Wise. It is the first Batman film to be rated R for disturbing content and some bloody images by the MPAA.
The film premiered at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 22, 2016. Originally intended to be released directly on home video, but due to its popularity, the film was instead released simultaneously in theaters, on digitally on July 25, 2016, before a DVD and Blu-ray release on August 2, 2016.
The film received mixed reviews from critics. It received negative criticism for its 30-minute original prologue and its portrayal of Batgirl, while the adaptation of the source material was met with more mixed results, as was Hamill's performance as the Joker. It grossed $4.4 million worldwide.
