Following in the footsteps of DC Entertainments animated recreation of the iconic The Killing Joke storyline, the company is taking on one of their lesser known properties for their next endeavor.
While it hasnt been officially announced, we now know that their next animated film will be Justice League Dark, via the British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) website. In their listing for Batman: The Killing Joke, the additional material section includes A Sneak Peak at Justice League Dark.
Justice League Dark was introduced as part of DCs New 52 initiative and featured a roster comprised of John Constantine, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Enchantress, and Shade the Changing Man. The team was meant to be a Justice League-like group that focused on Supernatural and Magical threats, but it wasnt actually related to the league in any way. In fact, they really dont want to be a team at all, but they end up grouping together for the greater good.
Writer Peter Milligan said at the time (via Newsarama): It was the dark bit that really appealed to me. The idea of taking these characters and this kind of story into some dark places. That doesnt always or necessarily mean supernatural black magic dark. It can mean emotionally dark. A messed up confused kind of dark. The basic screwed up human condition transplanted onto a superhero/supernatural comic.
DC has been adept at translating some of these darker concepts into animated films, and I'm eager to see what they do with Justice League Dark, and what exact storyline they go with.
The DC Animated films have been generally good so far, with some being among the best DC films ever. This is alright by me. Course, given their track record, I expect them to fit Batman in there somewhere.

And I was right. Batman has a big role. I was actually hoping none of the traditional Justice League characters would appear, and instead focus on different ones.

Thanks for the reply. I just recently started building a collection of the DCAU films, and I was just curious. Attack on Arkham was surprisingly bloody and adult given the PG-13. Any suggestions on where to learn about Justice League: Dark? I'm a casual Superhero fan who has been keeping up the MCU and DCEU, and while I have some knowledge on certain comics, sometimes things can get a bit overwhelming.

Can we expect the animated film to be rated R like The Killing Joke as well?
I'm gonna say that this will probably be rated PG-13.
Batman: The Killing Joke
is a unique situation.
I'm wondering if we are finally going to get an update at SDCC for the
Batman '66
animated movie (possibly titled
Batman Classic
) with Adam West, Burt Ward and Julie Newmar.

Can we expect the animated film to be rated R like The Killing Joke as well? Honestly, I'm just a casual fan, but I heard debates of a R rated JLD when Del Toro was working on the live action version. I know it not likely for live, but I think they would consider it on the animated front. Does JLD have R rated content in it? I seriously know nothing about it, but I like DC animated and live action films.
