Warner Home Video has finally confirmed the news that’s been floating around the Internet. Yes, Batman: The Killing Joke is set for an August 2nd release on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD. That’s not all, folks, as the team at Warner and DC Comics have put together a limited edition gift set for the true Batman animated fan.
Batman: The Killing Joke is based on the bestselling graphic novel of the same name and has been given an R-rating. It stars the voices of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and The Joker, respectively, and promises to “stays true to the authentic tale” from which it’s based.
