Looks fucking great, I can even forget about the bad animation quality after seeing this.
Hopefully WB will release an original coloring edition that look like this.

Still shit animation but the mood improves and it gives it more personality.
>>84284958
Yeah, animation still looks bad because it was literally redrawn.

Why did they do such drastic recoloring? Who thought it was a good idea to make the art less interesting?
>>84285361
the artist himself, iirc
>>84285361
>>84285392
>Bolland was unhappy about its final color treatment by John Higgins and Moore (who generally likes bigger more far reaching ideas) felt a smaller story between the iconic Gotham characters didn’t lead to anywhere interesting. No big ideas. Interesting to see a book loved by so many but looked down upon by its creators. Moore has pretty much disowned it and Bolland got to recolor it the way he originally intended in a 2008 deluxe edition re-release.
>>84285468
Moore disowned it because it wasn't intended to be canon. So the ambiguity of Batman choking Joker at the end or letting him go was the whole point. That end scene is what makes the whole thing iconic.
>>84285361
A lot of the time it is the artist themselves
See Also: Flex Mentallo
Also a lot of the time the claim is the technology of the time did not allow them to do what they wanted.
>>84285658
>the technology of the time did not allow them to do what they wanted.
Yeah, right
>>84286419
Do not dismiss that claim so easily comics coloring and printing has made huge strides
>>84284827
This looks amazing even with the shitty animation, holy crap
>>84285658
morrison did choose the colorist for flex mentallo until the reprint and shit.

>>84288274
Amazing, isn't it?
>>84285658
Morrison and Quitely wanted Flex Mentallo recolored the way they wanted because originally they never even met the person who colored it, so it was totally out of their hands. The recolor is also way better.
>>84290029
>The recolor is also way better.
I think it varies. I do certainly think it's a better recolor than the Miracleman, Killing Joke, or that one terrible recolor of The Incal. But there were some pages I liked more in the original.
This is why I tracked down the DC Alan Moore stories collection, so I could own TKJ with the original colors.
Well, that, and it had other awesome stuff like Superman being saved by Swamp Thing and Clayface III thinking a mannequin was cheating on him with Batman.
>>84284827
Sure, it's not great because it was redrawn
But it's looks vastly better than what we're getting

Why? To please a couple of plebs who can't enjoy the superior new coloring? Fuck off, kid.
>>84290311
>madhouse
Good taste right there.
But I would only accept it if it was animated like Bolland's artstyle or close, as shown in >>84285059
Last thing I'd like to see is Anime Batman or Phil Bourassa artstyle again.
>>84284827
Will this group do the full movie too?
>>84290452
Takeshi Koike can manage it, just gather his gang back together for a feature length production. Except he'll take 7 years to make it then get fired after it bombs in theaters. Like all of his stuff does.

You like that grey lifeless plastic looking crap?
Also, I bet a lot of people would buy it.
>>84290503
I can see they doing it, maybe like that group of Star Wars fans that remastered the VHS versions of the original trilogy.
>>84284827
the animation is SO FUCKING BAD OH MY GOD
>>84290552
>grey lifeless looking crap?
Oh please, the actual movie doesn't look that bad.
>>84284827
>>84284919
>fan made trailer is more faithful to the source material AND has better animation
>>84285059
I like how in some scenes the background is animated or at least it doesn’t remain static.
>>84285658
In all honesty, the left looks like a fucking Pride Parade float from space. Not that the headless Colossus coloring does much better.
>>84292924
Yeah, it's fucking sad.
>>84285059
Looks like shit desu senpai
>>84284919
You know, I was introduced to The Killing Joke with the recolored version and I don't understand why anyone would prefer the original coloring. It's a grim story and the original colours are fucking garish.
>>84290311
Current Madhouse is as good.
>>84293817
its like a bad acid trip
>>84293817
It's surrealist as fuck. It gives it a psychodelic feeling that the recoloring doesn't have. The recoloring looks like any other Batman story.
>>84293846
But TKJ is not a surreal story; TKJ is very much just "like any other Batman story". Bad guy does thing, Batman stops bad guy.
A surreal Batman story is something like Serious House on Serious Earth.
I'll never understand the purpose of the recolor.
The original TKJ used colors for emphasis of certain elements, and was much better for it, instead of the modern day philosophy of "we have to make it look real", and thus making it look boring, because I already have reality in front of me.
>>84284919
For instance, in the original, Gordon and his cage are in the background, all red so that Batman and the Joker are able to stand out more with their differing color scheme. But the garish red also has the added effect of, paradoxically, drawing attention to itself as much as it diverts it to the others, because of the natural psychological association with blood and danger.
The colors are used to emphasize atmosphere, and play with the reader's eye, give him information that can't be given with words or lineart alone.
In the recolor, it's all "realistic" because Bolland doesn't understand the use of colors to impact mood. Gordon stands out the most, while Joker and Batman barely do until panel 4, and that's only because Batman's light grey is contrasted with the dark blue above. It just looks drab and gray, when it's supposed to be a Joker story and a common association with the Joker is not "washed out" or "subdued".
>>84293987
>But TKJ is not a surreal story
When Joker throws Gordon through the roller coaster of visual confusion and audible assault it is very much supposed to be surreal.
A carnival, a place of happiness becomes a place of horrors. These freaks are all around harassing him, he's just recovered from being violently knocked unconscious and most likely has a concussion. Nothing makes sense and he doesn't know where he is, what happened to Barbara or why Joker is doing all this.
It's not just a bad thing, it is literally wound up by Joker to be Gordon's bad day. It requires the same delirium Joker (believes he) experienced when suddenly he was wearing a helmet that turned everything red while running from a hulking shadow of a man in a fearsome bat costume down a walk way, fell into a vat of chemicals, ended up who knows where with everything burning and the knowledge he'd been setup because he was trying to provide for his wife and unborn child who most likely were now dead but he honestly can't even remember what happened or if that happened.
He was trying to break Jim and that looming psychosis should be conveyed to the reader. I'm not surprised in the least it wasn't to you since you had the recolor.
>>84284827
Funny thing, I was working on a recoloring of the trailer too but I gave up. Really cool to see someone do it. It looks hundred times better than the shit we're getting.
>>84293817
The recoloring feels soulless.
>>84285598
>So the ambiguity of Batman choking Joker at the end blah blah blah
We're still doing this meme?

John DiMaggio still can play the Joker.
And if you want something closer to Hamill's voice, then Baker can do the job.

Holy fuck what a trainwreck this shit is going to be.
A FAN MOCKUP made by one guy can make the shit look better than the official fucking trailer. They should release this garbage and then start work on a re-color edition immediately.
