Review of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012) by Ian G — 17 May 2013
In the Timm guided DCU Animated universe, the has got to be one of the crown jewel films and probably the best Batman story brought to life since return of the Joker almost 12 years ago, focusing on the revered Frank Miller storyline of Bruce Wayne coming out of retirement as Batman to restore order to Gotham which has been lost to a new wave of crime, most notably from the Mutant gang fronted by a Killer Croc like villain.
Animation is very true to the Miller style as a lot of these films are for the respective artists and they don't hold back on the violence or political nature of the project which adds some really good bonus points.
Full grade.
