In addition to an Absolute Batman animated adaptation, Warner Bros. Animation and DC have also announced brand new anime series “Joker: Laugh Riot” this morning.
Here’s the official logline for “Joker: Laugh Riot”…
“When Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find the killer who took away his greatest adversary.
“But as his violent quest for answers pushes him closer towards vigilante than villain, Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn’t know who he is.”
Yasuhuro Aoki will direct “Joker: Laugh Riot.”
Jim Krieg (“Watchmen”) is executive producing the Joker anime series. Japan’s Sola Entertainment is working with DC and Warner Bros. Animation on the upcoming series.
