Review of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012) by Galaxy Quest P — 25 Sep 2012
It truly was the best Batman story ever told when it came out in the comics and the animated version does it a nice service. The story itself is amazing, and I can only look forward to part 2 when all the good stuff really takes off.
The 10 year layoff and return really adds a new pent up element to the distain Batman carries for the villains and that all comes out nicely, as well as his delirious actions in his old age. The dialogue is perfect Dark Knight and adds a chilling element as he takes on Two-Face and the mutant gang.
There is also the sweet side which is very well captured in the Robin storyline that brings a softer tone to the dark story. The action and fighting is great and if you are a fan of Batman and The Dark Knight Returns book you know the story an you are not let down, and if you don't know the tale then you are in for an amazing surprise in Part 2.
