The Killing Joke: Kevin Conroy on How Movie Expands the Novel

Batman: The Killing Joke is seen by many as the definitive Batman and Joker story. So perhaps it’s fitting that two of the most definitive actors to ever voice the roles are returning for its animated adaptation. In this DC All Access animation clip, we talk to Kevin Conroy about voicing Batman in the highly anticipated, R-rated film based on the acclaimed one-shot. How does he feel about bringing this particularly dark tale of the Dark Knight to life?

Make way, Liberal cabinet: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have another all-Canadian crew in his corner as he suits up for his latest feature role — comic book character.
Trudeau will grace the variant cover of issue No. 5 of Marvel’s “Civil War II: Choosing Sides,” due out Aug. 31.
Trudeau is depicted smiling, sitting relaxed in the boxing ring sporting a Maple Leaf-emblazoned tank, black shorts and red boxing gloves. Standing behind him are Puck, Sasquatch and Aurora, who are members of Canadian superhero squad Alpha Flight. In the left corner, Iron Man is seen with his arms crossed.
“I didn’t want to do a stuffy cover — just like a suit and tie — put his likeness on the cover and call it a day,” said award-winning Toronto-based cartoonist Ramon Perez.

What happens in Justice League?

http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/set-justice-league-21-things-need-know/

Justice League is currently filming and will be out in the UK on November 17, 2017.

 "Superman's death had such a strong effect on Batman, and he really regains faith in humanity and everything that's good. This alien just gave his life for us. And it really changes who Batman is, and he also feels responsibility to honour him, because he didn't feel like he did it when he was living."

 

 The official synopsis to sketch the plot: "Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy," it runs. "Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash — it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."

Injustice 2 - Announce Trailer

Judging from the trailer, that explains a lot of the armor we're seeing on the heroes! Some things you may not have noticed...

1. Batman is donning a Kryptonite based armor, and then switches to armor that dons the Batman Beyond logo.
2. That's Supergirl, right? The logo is a bit different but what other blonde woman heroes use heat vision?
3. Aquaman is not Mamoa'd out.

BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM - Ben Affleck's Solo Bat-Film Would Be An Original Story

BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM - Ben Affleck's Solo Bat-Film Would Be An Original Story (6.1.16)

Ben Afflecks take on a solo Batman Film. 



“I think what I would do, what I probably would do, is in some ways what
Zack did with [BATMAN v SUPERMAN], which is to borrow certain things
from the great comic books, but create an original story
around it because I wouldn't want the fans to already know the story
and be familiar. But I would borrow, steal, great things that have been
done before in the comics.”
