Here are links to two recent interviews with Lolita, Kristopher & Michael about their work on “Batman: The Killing Joke,” including their collaboration with the iconic voice of the Joker (and Jedi Master), Mark Hamill! DMP would like to thank Russ Burlingame at ComicBook.com and Robin Burks at Tech Times for the great articles—more interview links will be posted soon!

Lolita, Kristopher & Michael will be signing their new CDs at the La-La Land Records Booth #4536 on Saturday, July 23, 2016, at 11am. They are excited to share that, for San Diego Comic-Con 2016, La-La Land is releasing two brand-new CDs of their scores: Batman: The Killing Joke and Justice League, and will have copies on hand of two other recent discs: Mystery of the Batwoman, and Batman: The Animated Series, vol. 4, as well as many other titles from their catalog.

The music for the highly-anticipated Killing Joke release features a dark, emotional, deeply psychological tone reflecting the twisted world of the Joker and his nefarious plans, expertly performed by the top LA session musicians. A release of the bright sonic colors and exciting action music of Justice League has long been sought by soundtrack afficionados and comic fans alike.

If you are attending the San Diego Con on Saturday morning, please stop by booth #4536 and say hello!

Michael, Kristopher and Lolita are thrilled to share the news that they composed the score to the animated adaptation of “Batman: The Killing Joke,” based on the famous 1998 graphic novel of the same name written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland. Featuring the voice talents of Kevin Conroy (Batman), Mark Hamill (Joker) and Tara Strong (Batgirl/Barbara Gordon), the film is directed by Sam Liu and produced by Bruce Timm.

“Batman: The Killing Joke” provides an origin story for the supervillain the Joker, loosely adapted from the 1951 story arc “The Man Behind the Red Hood!” The shocking and tragic events in the story resulted in major changes to the mainstream Batman continuity. The movie adaptation maintains the dark, psychological and violent tone of the graphic novel, and has become the first animated DC movie to receive an R-rating from the MPAA. Warner Bros. Animation president Sam Register explained, “From the start of production, we encouraged producer Bruce Timm and our team at Warner Bros. Animation to remain faithful to the original story — regardless of the eventual MPAA rating … We felt it was our responsibility to present our core audience — the comics-loving community — with an animated film that authentically represented the tale they know all too well.”

“‘The Killing Joke’ was a ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ family reunion of sorts,” said Kristopher, “Not only did we collaborate with the legendary BTAS producer Bruce Timm and the original voice actors, but we also had the privilege to record with several of the same amazing LA musicians that played on the original scores, recorded by Bobby Fernandez, our original engineer, even using the Neve recording console originally installed at Paramount Stage ‘M’—the stage where most of BTAS was scored!”

DMP will be attending the world premiere of “The Killing Joke” at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con International. The film will be released digitally on July 23, 2016, while the deluxe edition and combo pack Blu-ray of the film will be released on August 2, 2016.

Michael and Lolita produced and conducted a song recording session today (May 10, 2016) for an upcoming project at Bang Zoom! Studios in Burbank, CA. The cast for the session includes industry veterans Tom Kenny (the voice of Spongebob Squarepants) and Diedrich Bader (the voice of Batman on “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” in addition to “The Drew Carrey Show”),  as well as successful Broadway singer/actor Nicole Parker. The project title is still under wraps, but will be announced soon!

In addition to our concert we will present in Krakow, Poland, in May, Michael, Lolita and Kristopher are pleased to share the news we will also be presenting a concert at the Fimucité Festival in Tenerife, Canary Islands!

The Tenerife International Film Music Festival (FIMUCITÉ), sponsored by Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, Canary Islands Government and Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, legitimates and boosts on its tenth edition the cooperation with the Conservatory of Music of Santa Cruz de Tenerife with various concerts featuring the popular Warner Bros. animation shows, performed by the Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony Band at Guimerá Theatre on September 28th and 29th.
