I really hope they have gotten Frank Miller for the commentaries.

I really hope they have gotten Frank Miller for the commentaries.

"You see these background characters? I didn't have a chance to address it in the story. But they're all hookers."

But seriously, Frank Miller in the commentary would be great. He loved the "Legends of the Dark Knight" episode of Batman: The Animated Series which adapted a segment of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.
Tasha Robinson: "Were you happy with the episode of Batman: The Animated Series that used your Dark Knight character designs?"

Frank Miller: "Oh, that was wonderful! [Laughs.] It was hilarious, yeah. Bruce Timm called me up, the animator, and asked if it was okay if he did a little bit of Dark Knight in the show. And I said, 'Absolutely, you're Bruce Timm!' He said, 'Do you want to see a script?' I said, 'No, you're Bruce Timm! I just want a videotape.' The videotape came, and I watched it about three times in a row, laughing out loud. It's spot-on. He even got my Robin right."

I can not express how much I loved this movie, one of the, if not the best animated Batman film ever!!! Can't wait for part 2!!!

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

That SvB statue is awesome, complete with Robin!

I don't like that cover for this film since that doesn't even look like Batman does in the Dark Knight Returns film. I hope that cover is just a mock up concept cover and not the cover they are going with. This should be the cover:

The film itself looks impressively faithful to the source material.

Music is good, its also nice how little of the plot they show, they just focused on the Mutants without any mainstream audience realizing it has abit of Two-Face in it for example.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

They have a typo in the trailer... The Dark Night Returns.

 

[Frontier]

Looks good. Dig the fact that they're willing to 2-part this film. They must be confident in it's success.

 

[8Diagrams(WU)]

Looks very cool. Looking fwd to it. Love DC animation.

They have a typo in the trailer... The Dark Night Returns.

Haha wow.

Great trailer what's the rating PG-13?

 

[Kane52630]

Yep.

 

[The Joker]

Big fanboy nerd gasm at that trailer. It looks incredible. The vice work sounds top notch, especially Weller as Batman. He sounds perfect for an older Bruce Wayne.

Loved the sly little glimpse of Joker's grin, too. Do we know yet who's doing his voice?

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Wow. Just wow.
