I know this is for the animated movie but I just decided to borrow the novel from my library. How long is it as in how many pages, just wondering as I have never been one to read comics or graphic novels.

It's one of the shortest ones there is. It's only 64 pages.

That's not bad at all, thanks. I hate reading long books like my max is 200-225 pages. What is the average length, around 100-125?

This was an OGN (original graphic novel) and thus made wholly on its own rather than collecting a storyline so that accounts for its shortness though there are OGNs like the Earth One books which are double the size of this. (136 pages) If we're talking GNs that collect chunks of the ongoing story arcs and such they usually run between 130+ to 260ish at the top end depending on how long the story arc that's being collected is.

It really depends. Each book of Daniel Way's Deadpool is 400+, each volume of The Flash's New 52 run is 120-130.

Without any spoilers as I've never read the comic, what makes this one NEED to be rated R to stay true to source material?

The things Joker does.

Re: Batman: The Killing Joke

There is a very specific set of situations that the Joker is in, involving a bullet, photos and chains/captivity. Think that's teases enough without really spoiling anything
