bryanee Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Excuse my language but FUCK YEAH this looks good. Part One is out later this year. http://superheroshows.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/first-images-from-dark-knight-returns.html Not the best quality images as they are grabs from a trailer They nailed the look, a few more images in the link. I've wanted a full on animated feature of this ever since the short in Batman: The Animated Series. The fact that its going to be in two parts is music to my ears. Heres the original TAS tribute Edited October 17, 2012 by bryanee
Shorty Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I didn't even know that TAS version existed. Can't imagine the blending of the two styles working too well. This new one though looks great. One of the best Comic book stories of all time. Will be awesome to see that fight animated.
bryanee Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 New images and voice cast info Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have announced most of the voice cast for their adaptation of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Robocop actor Peter Weller will star as Batman/Bruce Wayne and Modern Family’s Ariel Winter will play Robin. In addition, Prison Break bad guy Wade Williams will voice Harvey Dent/Two-Face, and Michael McKean will play Dr. Wolper. There are still a few major roles to be announced, including that of The Joker and Superman. Bad fucking ass.
Dan_Dare Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 omg dat artwork. Me and a friend were discussing Frank Miller recently. It's genuinely amazing how far he's sunk. It's that bad that I can't really enjoy his great work like TDKR any more
Paj! Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I like that they tried to stay somewhat true to the original artwork.
Dan_Dare Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Yep. It's clean and sharp but it holds true to Miller's character designs, just without that 'sketch' effect he used. Very cool. edit for original art:

It's that bad that I can't really enjoy his great work like TDKR any more Did you read him on the Occupy movement? I mean, at least 300 tried to be subtle in purveying contemporary fascism. Worst city man. Edited May 24, 2012 by chairdriver
Dan_Dare Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Yeah, exactly. The guy's a racist, sexist, drug addled fuck up. He used to be great...
flameboy Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 I didn't know much about him outside of comics just did some reading very fucked up individual, never knew he wrote Robocop 2!
James McGeachie Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Always a bit sad when Kevin Conroy isn't playing Batman but eh, guess this is one adaption where a different voice actor could work well.
bryanee Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 As much as I love Conroy hes not right for every variation of Batman, especially this one. I'd of loved it if they got Michael Ironside to do the voice like he did for the original TAS episode.
bryanee Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 They nailed it. Bring part two on.
MindFreak Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I just finished reading the comic and it was very good, although I got confused at times so I really want to see this movie. Especially if it's good.
bryanee Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 Part one was brilliant and now for part two.
Iun Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Did you read him on the Occupy movement? I mean, at least 300 tried to be subtle in purveying contemporary fascism. Worst city man. It seemed like a completely reasonable argument to me. Alright, it was put rather offensively, but pretty much everything he said was fairly accurate.
