"Joker: Laugh Riot" Series News & Discussion (Spoilers)

From Annecy, an anime series titled Joker: Laugh Riot is in development.

From Variety

Helmed by “ChaO” award-winning director Yasuhiro Aoki, who previously worked on Warner Bros Animation and Sola’s joint feature “The Lords of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” the trailblazing show will take viewers alongside the Joker, as he launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find Batman’s killer, who took away his greatest adversary —and, incidentally, his own kill. 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.

This brand new anime series comes as WBA and DC continue to push for more anime content, thanks to the support and insights of Jason DeMarco, senior VP, action and anime development at Warner Bros. Animation who produced “War of the Rohirrim,” alongside a “Rick and Morty” anime adaptation and “Lazarus” and “Uzumaki” series with Adult Swim.

Jim Krieg is an executive producer.

SOLA Entertainment is working on it.

The Man Who Killed Batman: The Anime Series. Hope it's better animated than Uzumaki.

I thought this was going to be a sequel to Suicide Squad: Isekai, but it's a Joker-lead anime .

What is left for a Joker without Batman but to then become the Batman himself ?

Not a lot to comment on this but it does have a pretty interesting premise. Making it an anime production will also likely help it stand out more.

I do wonder if Harley is going to be in it as Joker's sidekick/partner. How will she react or be involved in his crusade?

The only concern is Sola is the animation studio. Ultraman was probably their only great title, the rest have been meh.

I do wonder if it's going to be all CG.
