“Batman: The Killing Joke” gets one-night big screen release

Pray for us.

In a move that should prove that this could be the biggest animated drama of all-time, Batman: The Killing Joke will be coming to theaters near you thanks to Fathom Events.

Unfortunately, the event is only for ONE night, that being Monday, July 25, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time. Tickets for “Batman: The Killing Joke” can be purchased online beginning Friday, June 17 by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.

Based on the acclaimed DC graphic novel of the same name, Batman: The Killing Joke takes a journey into the dark psyche of the Clown Prince of Crime – from his humble beginnings as a struggling comedian to his fateful encounter with Batman that changes both of their lives forever. Years later, and now escaped from Arkham Asylum, The Joker devises a plan to prov that one bad day can make anyone as insane as he is – setting his sights on Commissioner Gordon. It’s up to the Dark Knight to put a stop to The Joker’s latest scheme and save one of Gotham City’s finest. Following a gripping prologue introducing Barbara Gordon’s heroic adventures alongside Batman as Batgirl, Batman: The Killing Joke stays true to the authentic tale that has held fans’ imaginations for nearly three decades.

In addition to the animated feature, audience members will get to experience a special introduction from Mark Hamill plus a never-before- seen documentary about how Hamill was cast in this project and what the role means to him as an actor and a fan. The event will conclude with a special behind-the- scenes look at how the Joker’s memorable, yet disturbing song and dance number was recreated for this feature.
Batman: The Killing Joke is Rated R and hits us next month. Not sure if anyone’s even ready for this…
