One of the most famous comics of recent years was Batman: The Killing Joke by British talent Alan Moore & Brian Bolland and it's finally been made into a movie, albeit a cartoon.
Trouble is because of the storyline and it's contents its going to get an R rating.
This is he story of how the Joker crippled Barbara Gordon who was as we all know is Batgirl shocked everyone to the core when published. Barbara went to help the Batman and his allies as a computer based, wheel-bound hero known as the Oracle.
Personally I can't wait to watch this adaptation into the Jokers world of madness, but it's not for the feint-hearted.....
Here's the trailer.
...so it'll be a '18' in the UK?! That be a first for a 'mainstream' (DC or Marvel) comic-book cartoon?
