Back in 1986, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
The book inspired many parts of The Dark Knight Rises. Things like Bruce Wayne becoming a recluse and returning to Gotham City after a long absence. A high-speed car chase between cops and criminals with a veteran cop telling his young partner, “You are in for a show tonight, son.” Wayne using a mechanical brace to support and strengthen his body. Bruce shaving his mustache. All from the novel.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns was recently turned into a sweeping two-part animated movie directed by Jay Olivia starring Peter Weller (Bruce WayneBatman) Ariel Winter (RobinCarrie Kelley) David Selby (Commissioner Gordon), Michael Emerson (Joker), and Mark Valley (Superman).
In part one, Bruce Wayne meets the new Robin and comes out of retirement to fight a growing mob of mutants. In part two of the series, Batman faces off against a “reformed” Joker released from Arkham Asylum and goes head-to-head with Superman.

This second part looks pretty intense, and I thought the first part was a real awesome movie. I plan to watch both of them together once I get the second one to make a pretty awesome full movie. I’m sure I’ll really enjoy this one on my next movie night with my friends, so I decided I should add it to my Blockbuster @Home rental queue. Because I work at DISH I’ve stayed informed on all DISH products and services, that’s how I discovered and tried out Blockbuster @Home. I like how I can afford to rent this new Batman cartoon, plus I can also rent thousands of other movies titles and even video games too, all because Blockbuster @Home makes entertainment affordable.
i am super intrigued about this… really only heard about it yesterday and it's a part II… I am so behind!
I'll have to tell the Husband Unit that's out.
I watched the first part the week it came out on Amazon. I killed it. I watched then listened to it over and over again.
So much of the comic is transferred with tweaks here and there. Loved the music.
I will watch this part today. I have been holding off because of work.
I'm impressed with how closely it matches the novel especially since it was written so long ago. it could have felt dated.
I wanted more from The Joker's voice. There's nothing really wrong with it, it's just not distinct.
Me too Colin. After Mark Hammill, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Bender from Futurama, his voice is just not impressive. He does the job though.
