Batman: The Killing Joke
At long last, one of the greatest Batman/Joker stories ever written will be getting an animated adaption:

Hopefully Hamill gets casted as the Joker.

Really looking forward to seeing this but man, I'm wondering how far they're going to go with the Joker's torture of Barbara. Like, how much they're going to show vs how much they're going to imply, know what I mean?
Definitely hope Mark Hamill does the VA work.

Sweet, I'm all for this.
I don't think Hamill will ever fully retire the Joker voice. I mean he just did it for Arkham Knight and all.

Ugh, this might be too dark for my tastes as an animated feature. Its not really an action-packed story. Its mostly the Joker being Satan in that ridiculous shirt.

Switch out Alfred for Batgirl and it would be perfect. Both are stories that showcase Joker as top of the line crazy and deadly yet provides a fun story. Or if you want a more modern story I have wanted "Hush" adapted for a good while now. Spoiler:

Looks like Hamill voicing the Joker is official. Great news.

I get annoyed whenever the same people do the same voice over and over. I prefer hearing new voices.

He's great at the version he does, and he's better than almost everyone who ever played him in general, but I don't think it's a sadistic or menacing enough voice for the darker, more comics-oriented version of the character. Y'know, the guy who skins people alive just to watch 'em die. That's The Joker, but it's NOT Mark Hammill's Joker. So yeah, I like him but I'm fine when other people get a crack at it. I don't think he's quite the right fit for this project, and once again people's nostalgia has just forced DC's hand. I mean, it's fine. There's been worse. The guy in Red Hood, as I recall, was awful. Off the top of my head, I can't think of who I'd pick for Killing Joke, but I wouldn't have picked Mark. Not for this one.

I guess nostalgia plays a part for most though. Also, man, Joker is a clown while being insane at the same time. This is a guy who could walk up to you on the street and pay you because he likes your shoes. The very next day shoot you in the head because again, he likes your shoes. The guy's all over the place. And that's why I love him!!!!

And honestly, I think Conroy and Hamill should be there to play Batman and Joker respectively, and I never even heard of The Animated Series (or, hell, the DCAU for that matter) until way after the final episode of JLA. I just think that they are without a doubt the greatest voices of those two characters, without any nostalgia factor. Plus, when you get Hamill, you kind of need Conroy. The two go together so well, it'd seem a little off for Hamill's Joker to be talking to any Batman other than Conroy's. Oh, and sorry, I'm late to the party as per usual.

I just wanna see and hear different takes on familiar characters. But like you said, never gonna happen with people being nostalgia junkies.

The funny thing is Mark Hamil said he was retiring from playing the Joker back when Arkham City came out in 2011...yet he's come back again. It obviously isn't for the money because this is friggin Luke Skywalker and the man is loaded, but I guess he just loves playing the character.

I remember hearing him on Smodcast(or was it Fatman on Batman?) when Mark said the only thing that he could see ever returning for was if they did a Killing Joke movie. So, this makes sense.

I may not like The Killing Joke, but I do really enjoy Alan Moore's Clayface III follow up to the original storyline. Its the second of two stories in Batman Annual#11 printed in 1987. Check it out if you are either a Batman or Alan Moore fan and it would help to have read Wein's original story in Detective Comics#478/479.

Moore flat-out said that last panel was just fans projecting. I hate it, I wish they drew it completely differently so people wouldn't get so confused.
Lots of critics have made a very intelligent point: Moore's script spends about 28 pages just describing the ripples that the raindrops make in the puddles on the ground. If there was ANY intention for Batman to kill the Joker, it would have been mentioned in the script. There would be nothing vague about it; simply an instruction for the artist to draw it in such a way that it looked vague. "Batman leans over and breaks Joker's neck; keep it somewhat ambiguous, and enshrouded in shadows," it would say. It doesn't. It's not in there. He doesn't kill him. It's just a poorly-drawn panel. Not to be a spoilsport, but some things aren't a mystery and have actually been explained more than once. This is one of those things.
