It matches the comic perfectly, but that whole style seems odd to me.

im so getting this!

I just read about the plot and I didn't know the above scenes are really only part of it. Not the central story throughout.

The Dark Night returns was a 3-part series, and the above is clips from the first one. The second is when the Joker comes back, the last his showdown with Superman.

It's amazing how much the series has impacted the Batman mythology when you consider it was published what, 20-25 years ago? Writers have emulated the tone ever since.

Can't wait

[Henni]

I still have my old comics with this story line the art looks very similar.

Looks like it will be good!

['dubber]

I will check this out but will probably be let down if they cut out a lot of the original plot. The original *four* part mini-series is an awesome read, Frank Miller don't shiv.

[Sporin]

Looks great!

[3danimator]

Love it.

[Minker17]

Not the same thing, but it's awesome.

[Minker17]

Movie is pretty awesome. I'll say that. Can't wait for Part 2.

Miller said at the time he was picturing Clint Eastwood when he wrote it, iirc.

Not the same thing, but it's awesome.

I saw this near the end a few months back on Cartoon Network and wasn't sure what it was. Good thing for DVR. Rewind and saw it from the beginning. Enjoyed it.


Less than two weeks and The Dark knight Returns will be out.

yeah i do remember that, they should have gotten timothy olyphant to do it, he did a good interpretation in rango.

[jubei208]

[Hostile]

I watched it last week and can't wait or parts 2 and 3.

heard the animated movie is just gonna be 2 parts

[epbrown]

heard the animated movie is just gonna be 2 parts

That seems probable, as DC has been skittish about Superman appearances of late; I suspect they'll drop the entire Superman role in the story.

Trailer for Part 2.

Just about finished with this one, very good, very faithful to the comic.

Enjoyed the movie. Now I need to revisit the comic. Looking forward to part 2 now.
