File:Batman The Killing Joke Complete Motion Comic & Audio Drama

Description
If you like this you should check out my original web series "The Cartographer's Handbook". Season 1 is on YouTube and Season 2 is now a podcast. Search for "New Century" on iTunes.

My movie and video gaming podcast "Digital Drift" (previously Digital Gonzo and before that Digital Cowboys) is also released weekly, covering in super depth, movie series' like the Marvel and DC films, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Planet of the Apes, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, as well as The Legend of Korra, Firefly, Mass Effect, BioShock, basically everything that's awesome!

This was episode #140 of Digital Gonzo so if you'd rather just listen to it without the pretty pictures then jump on iTunes or wherever else you find podcasts.

This is an audio drama adaptation of The Killing Joke: written by Alan Moore, and originally illustrated by Brian Bolland for DC comics in 1988. I have added comic panels from the 2008 Deluxe Edition to make the experience as cinematic as possible.

This show is dedicated to Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, two of my all-time heroes. Their inspirational work is a key reason why I love Batman so much, and their immense talent as voice-over artists is what made me want to produce performance pieces like this.

I hold out hope that one day we will get to hear them perform Killing Joke as an official radio play or better yet, a DC animated film.

All credit to Alan Moore for his excellent writing. The few minor changes I made were to facilitate the audio format. Also artist Brian Bolland whose striking imagery I am proud to convey here.

If you enjoyed this, do please check out Batman: Breakdown, which is an original story written by myself and rendered into an accompanying audio drama. You can find it on YouTube or along with hundreds of my movie, video gaming and comic book podcasts over at Gonzo Planet dot com.

A huge thank you to my cast, without whom, this would be a considerably less vibrant production.
