Fathom Events is hosting the film's run in over 1000 theaters nationwide. It'll be for one day only it seems, on July 25th. My local theater has a showing. I'm hyped.

I'm really looking forward to it. I wish they could've done this for The Dark Knight Returns. That would've amazing.

Pretty weird how theyve been pulling out all the stops for this except the animation budget.

This.

This is what I came to comment on, seems like they are throwing a lot behind it but the animation looks terrible based on the trailers.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

The animation is TERRIBLE. Looks Flash-level at times, it's horrendous.

Ugh. Don't think I can really enjoy the film by virtue of that.

 

[Nappuccino]

Is this the first theatrical slide show since La Jetée?

 

[Sephzilla]

Is this the first theatrical animated Batman movie since Mask of the Phantasm? It's a shame Killing Joke doesn't appear to have 10% of that movie's animation quality

 

[NealMcCauley]

Theater near me is showing it, but tickets are $15 each and I don't think it's worth the cost.

[ezekial45]

Damn, you guys are brutal. I don't blame you all, though. It's a clear downgrade from TDKR and other WBA offerings.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yep.

 

[Anth0ny]

Would have been nice if that money went towards the animation budget. Fucking hell.

[Sibersk Esto]

I wonder if paying those theaters resulted in the movie looking like trash.

Yeah, this seems like a big profit grab, spending nothing on the actual product but selling it like crazy on name alone.

Batgirl featurette with Tara Strong, for those interested!

Animation looks good on that clip. Well, decent enough for everybody favorite problematic comic.

Holy shit, you dont usually see burn jokes that are so smart.

I do think that turning Barbara Gordon into an actual character in the Killing Joke is a good idea, but holy crap, that random action sequence really doesn't fit this story.

*googles "La Jetée" in shame


...


LOL WELL PLAYED!!! I DIDNT THINK ANYONE ELSE ON GAF WOULD EVER GET THAT...OTHER than...me...

...

because i am so...so...smart...

Context is everything. Let's wait and see how it fits in with the finished film.

 

[Zubz]

I have a friend who wants to go, but it hit me that I never actually read TKJ. I should rectify that; I have Tuesday, July 26 off, so a late night showing is perfect for my schedule.

 

[Van]

Any link to the theaters there showing it in?

 

[SamuelSupreme]

That first quote swag.

 

[Wag]

This movie looks like shit. It's a shame considering.

They should do a double-feature with a remastered version of Mask of the Phantasm but I think they'd be too embarrassed.

 

[ezekial45]

Check Fandango or Fathom Events.

Great! I cannot wait to how does the theatrical release looks of a movie that's like 5 fps.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

Seeing that one sequence of the prison guard opening the door to Batman/Gordon on a big-ass theatre screen would be absolutely fucking hilarious.

 

[zeemumu]

Spoiler

I don't know what La Jetée is

 

[SpaceWolf]

You guys are making it bloody difficult to stay excited for this.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Lol so true

 

[Hellwarden]

The art is so goddamn flat.

The scene where Barbara gets shot should be scary, but nothing so far conveys that.

 

[Busaiku]

The movie looks like garbage.
Cannot support this no matter how good the cast is.

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

I already thought recent DC animated films had a very uninspired artstyle that even a TV show in Young Justice surpassed, but this just takes it to another level straight to Cheapsville.

 

[The QBComics]

Top notch burn right here.

 

[Cwarrior]

I bet the movie won't look 1/10 as bad as people are making it out too be, the original reveal trailer look like shit but I hope that was unfinished work.


The last few direct to blu ray DC animated movies looked great(bad blood,batman vs robin,gods & monsters and assualt on arkham)..

Yeah but those movies looked great in the trailer.

 

[LewieP]

Crazy that they haven't done a blu ray release of Mask of the Phantasm, but maybe they want to avoid showing up the decent but unexceptional current DC animated features, or the live action DC movies.

 

[Kaiterra]

lol of course THIS is the story whose adaptation they decide to give a push.

 

[Sanjuro]

The majority of these straight to video animated films have looked pretty awful, and I don't think that has made a huge difference in the overall reception of the story telling.

They looked passable with the sole exception of Flashpoint which was hideous. But none of them looked as ridiculously underfunded as Killing Joke does.

I mean, I disagreed with Flashpoint's style, but I can't knock its animation. Here, KJ straight-up looks 5 fps.

 

[Angry Grimace]

If everything else is good I expect a "remaster" because the animation looks like shit.

[FTF]

yeah the animation is crap but this still sounds cool to see on the big screen
