Review of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 (2013) by Matt M — 08 Feb 2013
Unfortunately, I've never enjoyed the second half of this story as much as the first. Despite some really great stuff (like the final showdown between Batman and The Joker, or the huge brawl between Batman and Superman), I feel like the story starts to collapse under the weight of its own ridiculousness.
The animators do a good job, but I can't help but feel that they miss the mark with one or two of the most memorable and powerful moments of the graphic novel (e.g., the climax of the Batman/Joker fight).
Still, it's definitely worth seeing to finally watch TDKR in some moving picture medium, but I imagine I'll probably watch part one more often than part two.
