Brief Synopsis:
As Bruce Wayne reconnects with Selina Kyle, his alter ego's eternal enemy is hell bent on proving a point, and nooone, not Thomas Elliot or Barbara Gordon, are going to stand in the way of that
Intention:
One of the irritable things about the later out-of-continuity DC movies that make use of the voice cast from the DC animated universe of shows...is that it often brings up the question of why don't they just make a continuation? Surely it can't be that problematic? Whatever their reasons, I feel like they waste big opportunities....and whenever they do go back to the DCAU, it's largely for superfluous reasons and giggles (Batman and Harley)
I figured time has come to see if I can do something different with the Dark Knight. The goal here is to adapt "The Killing Joke" but give it more of a DCAU vibe, i.e, follow the continuity of Batman TAS/New Batman Adventures, include characters like Nightwing and Catwoman etc.

That was great! Definitely not a comic-accurate edit of The Killing Joke, and thats just fine!
I love the "Bruce-centric" early stuff to flesh out Bruce's emotional state, and really making a good setup to Bruce going to talk to Joker. And nice touch taking out Joker's backstory - with the setup, I was worried that it would humanize Joker too much, but without the backstory, he is simply endlessly antagonizing Batman, and this can really be about Bruce dealing with "his line." Nice touch, and narratively a great story to tell. I think the only narrative I noticed was the different Gordon looks, and the Selina call in the middle of The Killing Joke section of the movie was slightly noticeable in Bruce face style, but for the most part, I think the merging of the two animation styles worked well!
Highly recommended!!
