The bad guys better skip town when the bat is around…
No one does it better than the Bat at any age he is still the same, too smart for those who what to get on his bad side.This part1 is so good I can’t wait to see the rest; I hope veterans like the joker will be there to make it all crazy like.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is a two-part animated superhero film, an adaptation of the four-issue story arc The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, printed in 1986.
This animation is nowhere near the movies (i.e. story wise), and it focuses on the future, wrong choice of words it is about the future, Bruce Wayne is 55 and the bat has not been seen for 10 years.
The story arc curved around the bat after retirement. Gotham now seemed to be overrun by a group called Mutants. The Mutants weren’t just any gang they were absolutely ruthless and in a way useless.
Also in this flick we get to see Harvey Dent/Two face after he has undergone plastic surgery to fix his face. Harvey now looked normal but he was so paranoid and out of it that he went back to his old ways.
Things weren’t changing in Gotham and with the ongoing nightmares and Bruce sleep walking and sleep doing things in the night; it was obvious he could no longer cage the bat any more.
Bruce carved to the urges. In the dark is the “billionairelly” in sane Batman, is seen jumping over roof tops and doing things other billionaires could only dream that their bodyguards could do (because no sane billionaire jumps around in the dark. Imagine one day you look out the window only to see Bill Gates in his underwear and a cape on your roof would you say Bill still got all his screws nicely tight?) I don’t know what I liked better is it watching Bat being Bat again in his old age, or the bad guys not knowing in time to skip town when they found out he was out of retirement (you can’t blame them though, some didn’t know who he was).
Well, the directing of this wonderful flick was done by Jay Oliva, who worked as a storyboard artist on Man of Steel, Batman: Year One and Batman: Under the Red Hood.
The animation was well drawn, far better sorry, far far far better than what we saw in Superman vs. the Elite.
The only downside to this wonderful movie is the news casting; it was boring and looked too much like child’s play I hope you are not still reading this, because I expect by now that you have hit the stores to go grab your copy of The Dark Knight Returns Part 1.

“I’m Not Finished Yet”
In preparation for the upcoming Batman V Superman film, I’ve decided to revisit a few of each of the heroes’ feature films, especially those where they come in direct conflict with one another.When it comes to comic book adaptations, there is usually a split opinion among fans. Either the adaptation has strung too far from its source material, or it relied too heavily on it. Either way, it’s rare that a comic book film or a TV show can come across an audience which is very clear in saying that it is a perfect adaptation. That’s what The Dark Knight Returns films are. Part 1 effortlessly displays a mans’ psychological turmoil after years of fighting crime in Gotham City, and then also regain his inner humanity and self-worth. The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 quite simply is one of the greatest comic book films of all time.
We begin with watching Bruce Wayne drag race his life away. Taking place 10 years after Batman retired, we get a sense that he doesn’t feel as though he has anything left to give. Or rather, he’s so psychologically damaged by Jason Todd dying and the chaos that was unleashed on Gotham city, that he is trying to find ways for himself to cope. While I like Part 2 a tad better, this psychological side to the story of Batman is something that gives Part 1 its own edge. This is all complemented incredibly well by Christopher Drake’s hauntingly eerie score. Drake has done numerous takes on the Dark Knight, but I’ve always felt like his score for these two parts perfectly encapsulates this particular graphic novel more so than any of his other scores.
Peter Weller voices Batman, among the many talented voice actors here. It mainly focuses on the Mutant Gang who has taken control of Gotham City in this near-future story, but we also get appearances from Harvey Dent and Joker, who give it just the amount of nostalgia Batman needs to put that cape and cowl on again. Dent’s tragic tale once again takes a left turn as he was sponsored by Wayne to get his face back to normal with surgery, only to still think of himself as Two-Face and resume his crime filled ways. Joker is only teased, but I love the way this story links Batman and Joker. They can’t really go on without one another.
Frank Miller also weaves in a Gordon side arc that effortlessly fits in with the rest of the story as he is both retiring and being pushed out for Ellen Yindel, a strong believer of taking down Batman, a much bigger story in the second part.
Everything leads to the mud fight. Batman and newly hired Carrie Kelley as Robin, trap all of the mutants into thinking that the Mutant Leader set up a meeting at a sewer outlet. There, we get one of the great comic book fights ever with Batman calling himself the “surgeon at an operating table”. With the music, stunned faces of hundreds of mutants, and the official return of the Batman, it may be my favorite scene of either of the two parts. In all, The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 displays all of the graphic novels greatest attributes, while also giving it a memorable score and incredible voice talents. I love everything about this film & story.
