61zWRDkGrnLEighteen months ago, we told you that DC Comics' French licensor, Urban Comics, was to republish a series of Batman comic books in black and white,

Well, someone must have liked the way it looked.

Because now DC Comics is going to start doing it with The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, as well as the already-in-black-and-white Brian Bolland short Batman story from Batman Black And White.

Thankfully DC Comics didn't decide to call it The Killing Joke Adult Colouring Book or market to that audience as other comic book publishers have been. Because that would have been a PR nightmare due to the comics' heady mix of sexual violence, equivocism and funfairs.

But you can still use it as a colouring-in book if you want.
