'Batman: The Killing Joke' (2016) follows Batman (voice of Kevin Conroy) as he tries to apprehend his nemesis the Joker (Mark Hamill) while exploring the origins of his most famous foe. After escaping from prison, the Joker targets the Gordon family for his next attack and kidnaps the Commissioner (Ray Wise) to prove that a bad day can turn even the most honourable man insane, just like it did to him. In 'Batman: Assault On Arkham' (2014) Amanda Waller (CCH Pounder) and Harley Quinn (Hynden Walch) get together to form the Suicide Squad, whose number one ambition is to break in to Arkham Asylum to retrieve information from the Riddler (Matthew Gray Gubler).

In 'Justice League Dark' (2017) Batman (Jason O'Mara) assembles a unique team to deal with the supernatural forces that have invaded Earth. He enlists the help of occult detective John Constantine (Matt Ryan), magician Zatanna (Camilla Luddington), ghost Deadman (Nicholas Turturro), Etrigan the Demon (Ray Chase), Swamp Thing (Roger R. Cross) and the Black Orchid (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) to take on the dark side of justice. In 'Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay' (2018) Belle Reve penitentiary warden Amanda Waller (Vanessa Williams) heads up a secret government agency for which she forms Task Force X aka the Suicide Squad - a group of unlikely heroes made up of imprisoned criminals. For their latest mission the squad, which includes Deadshot (Christian Slater), Harley Quinn (Tara Strong), Bronze Tiger (Billy Brown), Captain Boomerang (Liam McIntyre), Killer Frost (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Copperhead (Gideon Emery), are tasked with retrieving a powerful mystical object but they are not the only supervillains who want to harness its power... Finally, in 'Batman: Gotham By Gaslight' (2018) Gotham is gripped by the fear of a predatory killer dubbed Jack the Ripper. While Bruce Wayne (Bruce Greenwood) prepares the World Fair, the vigilante known as The Batman teams up with Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Jennifer Carpenter), cop James Gordon (Scott Patterson) and three young orphan boys to find the elusive Jack and put an end to his violent attacks.
