Batman The Dark Knight Returns

Batman The Dark Knight Returns Trailer. Jay Oliva‘s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Part 1 (2012) movie trailer stars Ariel Winter, Peter Weller, Wade Williams, Michael McKean, and Rob Paulsen. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Part 1‘s plot synopsis: based on Frank Miller‘s 1986 Batman graphic novel, “…it’s been a decade since Bruce Wayne hung up his cape, following most of the other superheroes who had been forced into retirement. Facing the downside of middle age, a restless Bruce Wayne pacifies his frustration with race cars and liquor – but the bat still beckons as he watches his city fall prey to gangs of barbaric criminals known as The Mutants.

The return of Harvey Dent as Two-Face finally prompts Wayne to once again don the Dark Knight’s cowl, and his dramatic capture of the villain returns him to crime-fighting – simultaneously making him the target of law enforcement and the new hope for a desolate Gotham City. Particularly inspired is a teenage girl named Carrie, who adopts the persona of Robin and ultimately saves Batman from a brutal attack by the Mutant leader. Armed with a new sidekick, and re-energized with a definitive purpose, the Dark Knight returns to protect Gotham from foes new…and old.”

This looks very good and I am glad to see they took direct dialogue from Frank Miller’s graphic novel. Its a mature story and they are handling it in that way.

 On Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Part 1:

The first part of Warners’ direct to disc (and digital) adaptation of Miller’s story focuses on the terrible state of Gotham City after Batman’s ten-year absense, and the conflict with a gangland leader that brings the Bat back into the game.

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns: Part 1 also stars Maurice LaMarche, Gary Anthony Williams, David Selby, and Gary Anthony Sturgis.
