This is the moment we've all been waiting for. DC comics and Warner Bros. has just slapped us right in our faces with the news of the a Killing Joke animated film. Alan Moore's 1988 history of The Joker is the only "concrete" evidence of a past in the sinister villain's existence. This film is a fan favorite and a film adaptation has literally been requested for years. In recent years DC and Warner Bros. Have been pumping out animated film adaptations of classic books, such as Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year Zero. This announcement comes just in time for the 75th anniversary of the character. So why is this important to us as fans?
Well, as Arkham Knight fans this should be extremely exciting because this is the origin story of Barbara Gordon as Oracle. Considering that she is a huge focus in the most recent game this could shed some serious light and cross over magic between the worlds of gaming and animated film. Movie fans will be able to see on screen the material that Heath Ledger and Jared Leto we're given to portray this seemingly all evil villain. With the recent releases of more violent and darker themed films, it's finally time to tackle this one. 
The film is set to be released in 2016, so grab your comics and your jaw off the floor, and get ready for awesome to ensue.
