Check out the official trailer for the upcoming animated (and R-Rated!) adaptation of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's groundbreaking 1988 graphic novel "Batman: The Killing Joke," which offered an explicit tale featuring the Joker and his shocking origins as a failed comedian who is driven to insanity after having "one bad day."

Emmy-winning producer-animator Bruce Timm is spearheading the direct-to-video movie, which reunites Timm with the voice cast from his much-beloved '90s cartoon show "Batman: The Animated Series:" Mark Hamill (as the Joker) and Kevin Conroy (as Batman/Bruce Wayne).

The WB animated movie, which is helmed by animation director Sam Liu (Justice League: Gods and Monsters, Beware the Batman), takes the bitter rivalry between Batman and the Joker to a whole new and profoundly personal level, which unfortunately involves Commissioner Gordon (voiced by Ray Wise) and his daughter Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl (Tara Strong).

"Batman: The Killing Joke" is currently scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital HD beginning August 2nd.
