Oh yeah! Looking forward to it!

Oh dear. "Gods and Monsters" was...not the best. I'll just steer clear of this one.

Will "Bad Blood" and "Titans" be in the new 52 style?

Assuming "Killing Joke" will be a faithful adaptation in the Bolland style like the Miller adaptations.

[Immortal Weapon]

Can I pre-order this movie? I want to give it money already.

will it be Mark Hamill as the Joker

Why base the success of this movie, off the last one? Especially since Timm has given us far more good than bad.

Are they really going to do this? I would love to see it, but I can't even begin to imagine the sh*tstorm that will arise. Look at what happened as a result of an image made just as an homage to that story?

will it be Mark Hamill as the Joker

He'd be ideal, but I wouldn't say no to Troy Baker, either. He did the Joker's Killing Joke monologue in the style of Hamill at comic con once and it was phenomenal.

Wasn't Timm's last movie, before God's and Monsters, UtRH? Didn't that movie show a child being abused aND tortured?

This is tame compared to that material.

Give me a new Dini and Timm project and you've got my interest. Likewise if there's some fresh blood for the Batwoman feature. This director, though, didn't do anything for me during his last run at the DC properties. There's a lot of entertainment media out there and I have a limited budget. So a swing and a miss is all he gets, at least until this is in the $5 bin at Best Buy or something.

I just really hope it is a faithful adaption. I'm all on board for it if it is.

[Samurai Jack]

Looking forward to the Killing Joke movie, especially with Bruce Timm involved. It would be great if Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy voiced the main characters, but I'd still watch it either way.

Yes, "Bad Blood" and "Titans" will be taking place in the New 52-styled animated continuity and feature the debuts of Batwoman and the Teen Titans .

will it be Mark Hamill as the Joker

I'd be shocked if Hamill's not back for this. He's vocal about how he'll only come out of his self-imposed Joker retirement for a Killing Joke adaption, which granted didn't exactly turn out to be true, but shows just how much importance he places in working on the story.

Not to mention the iconic voice of the Joker is the best choice to voice him in an adaption of an iconic Joker story.

A lot of what makes that comic work is Bolland's art. I'm wondering if it was translate to animation.
