One of the next animated movies from Warner Bros. will be an adaptation of the popular graphic novel “Batman: The Killing Joke”! The announcement came from Bruce Timm at a Comic-Con panel for his new movie Justice League: Gods and Monsters. The movie will be released sometime next year.

No casting information has been announced, but you have to imagine that Mark Hamill will be back as The Joker. He’s expressed interest in an animated version of The Killing Joke before:
