Batman: The Killing Joke will be released on blu-ray and DVD on August 2, 2016 according to Amazon, one week before a new live-action version of the Joker appears in the DCEU's Suicide Squad movie. The film will likely be made available for purchase on digital and on-demand platforms a few weeks earlier. A SDCC world-premiere has already been confirmed for July. Hopefully, WB Animation can manage to keep this one from leaking online early.

Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy voice the Joker and Batman, respectively. Tara Strong voices Barbara Gordon. Sam Liu directs, while Bruce Timm serves as executive producer. The film will be the 25th release from the DC Universe: Animated Originals division of WB Animation.
