I just messed my pants! t:Movie Version Of Frank Millers The Dark Knight Returns In The Works!

Its going to get rather crowded out there, with alternative Batmen cropping up left, right and centre. Well barely be over Christian Bale* when a reboot will see another lucky young man dropped into the role, and there are plans for another, different Bats to appear in a Justice League feature. Add to this the various animated Batmen, from Kevin Conroy, Diedrich Bader and Bruce Greenwood.
Too much Batman? Or never enough?
Well, I think theres always going to be room for The Dark Knight Returns, dont you?
Bleeding Cool have heard from multiple sources (enough with the multiples already) that work is underway on a movie adaptation of Frank Miller and Klaus Jansons classic The Dark Knight Returns. As you might have guessed, however, this is to be an animated adaptation, much like the recent All Star Superman or in-the-works Year One.
Fittingly, Year One will come along first, but DKR is already in the early stages of development. According to our sources, several veterans of Batman toons past will be on the crew list, though were still trying to confirm who is writing and directing the film.
It would be sheer guesswork to try and determine when this might make it to the screen, but it isnt going to be anytime soon. Heres hoping they do it right.
Who's that on the bottom right corner tho... is it Death?
Conan O'Brien Voicing TDKR Part 2
It's cool that he brings up his love for animation, given that he started out writing on The Simpsons.

- Doesn't capture the feeling of the comic as well as it could have. It looks cleaner than it should.
- Ben McKenzie was very wooden as Bats. He was going for something in the performance but it just comes of as flat.
- The narration and time stamps don't work as well on the screen.
But... Bryan Cranston was awesome AND all that rambling said, it's still very good and worthy of your time.
Woah! Did anyone catch the Reeve/Superman poster from the trailer?!
Cool thanks, Too me The Dark Knight Returns Superman looks like a bad Elvis impersonator, even in the comic.
P.S Why isn't there a thread for "Superman: Unbound" yet?
