Description

From the chronicles of the DC Universe comes the sweeping saga of rebirth, revenge, and redemption. Now, for the first time, witness the legend of The Dark Knight Returns, presented as an over two-hour unabridged and seamless animated feature. The days of the Batman and other noble super heroes are but faded memories; violence and despair are now the harbingers of our time. With the roving gangs and return of villains such as Harvey "Two-Face" Dent and the Joker, an aged and weathered Bruce Wayne dons the mask and cape once more. With the brave, young Carrie Kelley at his side as Robin, the Dark Knight faces off against insurmountable odds, unforgettable battles, and even the Man of Steel as he desperately fights to reclaim Gotham City. With a stellar voice cast headed by Peter Weller (RoboCop), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), and David Selby (Dark Shadows), experience the complete epic journey of The Dark Knight as never before!

  • A too dark, too morose Batman that's uninspiring.

    Recently I've started watching some of the DC animated movies. I absolutely loved "Batman Hush", "Son of Batman", "Batman Ninja", "Batman: Year One" and "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay". So, I thought I'd view "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns". I really found this movie annoying and uninspiring. I found the Batman in this movie just a little too dark and too morose for my taste. Also, throughout the film there was this constant back and forth to TV newscasters that annoyed the hell out of me. They were also interjecting these silly "talk show" debates about whether Batman was a criminal that should be caught and punished or that he was good for society. So cliche. I found the villains just violent, stupid and completely uninteresting. I didn't really care for the supporting characters in this movie or the new "woke" Robin or the new "woke" replacement of Commissioner Gordon. The one good thing I liked about this movie was the original soundtrack and the quality of the animation. From the other reviews it seems there were a lot of people who liked this film and I hope it wasn't a loss for DC but I will not be adding it to my movie collection.

    These two movies show a dark dynamic between the joker and batman which plays out perfectly through the jokers crimes and Peter Weller voicing Batman. It really gets me hyped for the new Killing Joke animated movie that comes out this summer

  • Ripped from the comics

    Batman, girl Robin, mutants, Superman, and Joker all in the same action packed adventurous movie! What's not to love. Incredible plot, amazing action and violence, beautiful animation, and hard core voice casting. DC nailed it with this movie!

  • The Dark Knight Returns: a timeless Batman Masterpiece

    This is my all time favorite Batman story, it shows a grizzled dark knight who has been through some difficult times but realizes being Batman is his destiny If you are a fan of Batman I highly recommend this film; the action sequences are fantastic and the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal you will not be disappointed with this movie. Plus Peter Weller does a great job voicing Batman on par with Kevin Conroy
