Of all of The Joker’s comic book outings, Alan Moore’s Batman: The Killing Joke is a deserved classic, and considered not only the definitive story to focus on the Clown Prince of Crime, but also one of the best Batman stories ever written. It has gone onto to influence everything from films to video games, and Jared Leto has teased that it form the basis of his take on the character when Suicide Squad rolls around. One of the tales' most enduring monologues which, “The Emergency Exit”, gets the theatrical, almost film noir treatment with this dramatic reading from actor/director Aaron Williams. At times, he channels Mark Hamill’s classic take on the character for Batman: The Animated Series (it’s all in the voice), but there’s no denying this is a chilling and stunning tale on the character.
