Kevin Conroy Wants To Join Mark Hamill In Batman: The Killing Joke

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21502:]]

Earlier it was confirmed that Mark Hamill will be reprising as the Joker for the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie.

So with the iconic voice that Hamill presents back on board, how about Kevin Conroy, easily considered the definitive Batman voice, in Batman: The Killing Joke as well?

With the confirmation of Mark Hamill as Joker, ComicBook.com reached out to Conroy who stated he would like to do that.

“There’s an online petition to have us do it! Oh, God! Are you kidding me? I’d do it in a heartbeat,” Conroy said. “I love working with him. I couldn’t believe when they killed off The Joker. I would love to do it, and I hope that that happens.”

It’s actually possible Conroy might already be involved in the movie as the previous report stated Hamill already recorded his Joker parts for the film.

Cross your fingers, guys.

The Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie is expected in 2016.

Mark Hamill Confirmed As Joker For Batman: The Killing Joke

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21497:]]

This past Comic-Con saw WB announce plans for the Batman: The Killing Joke animated movie.

As the comic focuses on the Joker, who better to voice the character than veteran Joker voice actor Mark Hamill?

It turns out that is exactly what is happening as Collider is reporting Mark Hamill already recorded his voice for the film.

Hamill actually stated back at 2011 Comic-Con that he wanted to voice the character, and mostly recently teased he is voicing Joker for Batman: The Killing Joke when he tweeted, “Fingers crossed.”

Update: Kevin Conroy wants to reprise as Batman.

The graphic novel at Amazon is described as:

According to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that’s all that separates the sane from the psychotic. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he’s out to prove his deranged point. And he¿s going to use Gotham City’s top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it.

Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight’s closest friends. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust andlunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman’s nobility and The Joker’s insanity snap once and for all?

Update: Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill offer the following about Batman and Superman in the film:

Other people fear him. Is he a tyrant?” 

And  Snyder says about the Justice League slate of movies:

“I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe.”

Joker’s Identity Revealed In Justice League #42 (Spoilers)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21390:]]

Updated: with images below.

Potential spoilers follow for Justice League #42.

Bleeding Cool reports tomorrow’s issue, written by Geoff Johns, will reveal the identity of the Joker to Batman.

That appears to be true, but the kicker is – only to Batman.

Meaning not to the readers.

I don’t have confirmation exactly what goes down this time, but  a user on 4Chan (for what it’s worth) states Batman apparently is told the Joker identity in which he says, “That’s impossible,”  – meaning he knows who it is – and also questions the Moebius Chair about the identity of who killed his parents.

So the Joker’s identity is not really revealed, and my guess is never will be.

DC Comics Announces Justice League: Gods And Men

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21329:]]

During Friday’s One on One panel at COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO 2015, JUSTICE LEAGUE writer Geoff Johns revealed his plans for a series of one-shots spinning out of his current “Darkseid War” story arc.

Scheduled for October, JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MEN is a series of six single issues focusing on key characters in the Darkseid War and extends their individual conflicts against the backdrop of universal Armageddon, with Darkseid squaring off against the Anti-Monitor:    

Batman – Armed with the godlike power of the Mobius Chair, the Dark Knight has taken on the role of Metron and plans to use the infinite knowledge of this device to turn Gotham City into a completely crime-free zone!    

Superman – Corrupted by the weird energies of Apokolips’ fire pits, Superman has been turned into an angry, violent brute. And only one man can possibly save him: Lex Luthor.               

Green Lantern – Oa has been conquered and transformed into a Parademon factory and the Green Lantern Corps is no more! Only Hal Jordan remains to follow a distress call from the last active Lantern seen fighting on Oa: John Stewart               

Lex Luthor – At last, Lex Luthor, the new ruler of Apokolips, can do what he never could accomplish on Earth: hold the fate of a world in his hands. But his one failure from the “Darkseid War” continues to keep him from the peace he craves – and only a crazed Superman can help him get it!               

The Flash – The Flash takes on the role of death’s harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!

Shazam! – Instead of accessing the powers of the old gods, Billy Batson now commands the combined powers of the New Gods like Highfather, Mantis and others trapped within the Source Wall. And that’s power that no mortal should possess!

Batman Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Crossover Announced

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21328:]]

DC Entertainment and IDW Publishing announced their latest crossover miniseries during IDW’s panel on Friday at Comic-Con International: San Diego with BATMAN/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Scheduled for November, this six-part monthly miniseries is set in the streets of Gotham City where fans will see the Dark Knight fight like never before with wall-to-wall ninja action.

The story will be brought to life by James Tynion IV (BATMAN: ETERNAL, CONSTANTINE) and star artist Freddie E. Williams II (ROBIN, CAPTAIN ATOM) handling interior and cover art.  In addition, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman and other to-be-announced artists will illustrate variant covers.

“Batman is the world’s most popular Super Hero. He continues to be reimagined and this new crossover showcases his ongoing appeal as a global pop icon for the ages,” said Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics, Bob Harras.

“We here at IDW have very much enjoyed working with DC Entertainment on fan favorite crossover comics,” said IDW President, Greg Goldstein. “TMNT is a global phenomenon, beloved by millions. Pairing the Turtles with Batman will prove to be a publishing event that transcends comic book culture.” 

 “I’ve been extremely luck to spend so much time working in Gotham City, but it’s always a thrill to see the world of Batman through new eyes,” explained writer James Tynion IV. “Taking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a Gotham adventure is a fanboy dream come true.”

In the ongoing power struggle between the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, General Krang, and the Foot Clan, allegiances have shifted and the battle lines have been drawn. Krang concocts a plan to rid himself of both the Turtles and Shredder by transporting them to another dimension, where they land in the dark and dangerous streets of Gotham City. It isn’t long before they encounter Gotham’s most famous resident, Batman.  The Caped Crusader may be their only hope of overcoming their enemies and getting back home. But not before they encounter a whole cast of Gotham’s most infamous rogues.
