The Dark Knight Returns animated movies news

I was referring specifically to the part of an aging Batman in a TDKR movie, but thanks. Sorry I wasn't more clear what I meant.
 
I saw it last night, and generally enjoyed it. I missed some of Bruce's inner monologue and wanted to see Batman holding the flag-draped corpse of the general, but hey, it's as close of an adaptation as any, so I won't complain about nit-pickery stuff.

Can't wait for part 2.
 
I really enjoyed it - it had the "feeling" of the original Frank Miller graphic novel without looking so forced that it was almost a joke, but I do like the visual tricks they did with some of the sequences, especially with Two Face. The fight with the head Mutant was pretty well done, considering in the comic it was very stylized.

They impressed me, considering that they made an "old" story feel pretty fresh and almost like it could have easily slotted into the old Batman Animated Series. All you would have needed was Kevin Conroy to voice Batman - but I'll admit Peter Weller was an interesting choice. I sort of was hoping for somone more gravely voiced but then again, it was pretty cool having Robocop/Buckaroo Banzai voicing Batman.

I really am looking forward to Part 2 - but I wonder how they'll hand some of the far more sexual nature toward the end of the series. With an overweight Selina Kyle tied up in a Wonder Woman costume. Or the Dr. Joyce Brothers "Zex Und Zex Und ZEX!" thing.

So we'll see - will they punk out and go vanilla for the "kiddies" or will they keep it all in and say "hey for 'dults only!"

They punked out quite a bit in part one. For example-- the aforementioned General's flag-draped corpse in Batman's arms, the smoke from the joint Carrie's parents were smoking, and the big bear-hug that Carrie gave the nude Bruce Wayne in the Batcave, among other things.
 
This is the image I wanted to see...

When I read that as a kid, I thought that Batman killed the general, which I always thought was wrong. Of course, I also thought he killed the Joker!
 
THAT'S who I was thinking of - about 10 minutes after I posted that I was like "that's the wrong Dr." Dr. WUTH! How could I forget Dr. Ruth!

Gah I am such a bad child of the 80s.
 
Conan has worked with Bruce Timm before...mainly on the Flaming C skits on his show, which Timm drew. It probably was just easier to ask Conan. I doubt Lettermen would have agreed.
 
It looks like they edited the two parts into a single movie. It was resubmitted to the MPAA, which is something they wouldn't have done if it was the two movies packaged together.

Also saw this on another board

"I found some information from the DVD product page at Wbshop.com. It looks like this version will have all the extras from the first 2 releases, plus an exclusive cast and crew commentary track, a 70 minute Frank Miller documentary, exclusive artwork, and 4 collector cards "
