DKF cannot forget this classic. "Batman: The Killing Joke." March 2008 saw the release of the artwork as Bolland intended it: the twentieth-anniversary hardcover edition of The Killing Joke is completely recolored by Bolland himself. The book's re-release also preceded the premiere of the Batman movie The Dark Knight by several months, a movie whose depiction of the Joker it inspired.

Director Christopher Nolan has mentioned that The Killing Joke will serve as an influence for the version of the Joker that will appear in The Dark Knight. The late Heath Ledger, who will appear in the film as the Joker, stated in an interview that he was given a copy of The Killing Joke as reference for the role
