#SDCC: ‘Batman: The Killing Joke’ movie coming?
A reliable source just told me: “Warner Premiere has a great many DC graphic novels in production or pre-production with WB Animation, including The Killing Joke. Scheduling through 2018– including Superman projects.”
A few notes:
- Well, it’s not like DC hasn’t made money on Alan Moore projects before.
- One wonders if an animated film would satisfy the Siegel lawsuit requiring a Superman film to be in production by 2011.
- Are they actually planning Superman films after 2013, after DC loses the copyright to the character?
Very interesting. We’ll try to find out more ASAP.
Boy, I can' t imagine any parent or church groups getting upset and boycotting a KILLING JOKE animated movie. Of couse, the media would fully support it and not have a negative thing to say. The Batman laughing at the end of a cartoon where a woman is shot & paralyzed. Good move!I really think the Warner Bros. folks might want to seriously consider all this before spending a lot of money.
yes the superman movie will come out in the summer of 2013.
