Never been a fan of The Dark Knight Returns, or Frank Miller really, but I'll see if the animated feature is better. I like their animated stuff.

@DukeAcured Sorry, been trying to hunt down the new TDKR footage shown at the Russian Film Expo. It's driving me crazy that I can't find even a description!!!!

Sounds good. After Batman: Year One, my anticipation for this film has been very high.

@GraphicCity- No new footage was shown. RIM confirmed that they showed the second trailer, and cos the Russian's had never seen footage of the movie before they thought it was new.

@MovieMaster Thanks, that explains it.

Batman animation? Terrible? I doubt it. DC animation is always great, Under the Red Hood is my favorite so far.

THEY SHOULD MAKE THE KILLING JOKE.

The image of Batman stamping the hell out of Superman in the article was once voted the top 100 most memorable image in comics!

..Still is, in my opinion!

Never read it. Idk that one never really sounded hood to me. I will be checking it out though.

@GUNSMITH: An adaptation of The Killing Joke would rock. One of my favorite Batman stories, plus Mark Hamill said he'd come back to voice Joker if such a film was made.

both books are really good although the second ones art is slightly sloppy ...
wonderful concepts are explored ,regardless of frank millers politics

Frank Miller is phenomenal, I'm thrilled to see that his works are finally being adapted into films. I'd love to see the DC animated films take on more stories from Jeph Loeb as well. They've been doing a terrific job w/ these animated films, I'm sure the adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns will only raise the bar. Bruce Timm is tackling what Hollywood won't!

DukeAcureds - 3/17/2012, 11:30 AM
Killing Joke FTW.
People really dislike Frank Miller these days, huh? I must say, he lost me at Wall Street/Holy Terror. But some people haven't even read DKR?! Dudes! Seriously! Go and read it now. What the Hell happened to the comic book community? I suppose Watchmen doesn'y look so appealing, either, right?
DukeAcureds
DukeAcureds - 3/17/2012, 11:42 AM
I despair.
All the same this movie will blow not only The Avengers, but The Dark Knight Rises out of the water. Especially if they've got Montgomery on directing duties. Wonder Woman and Year One were awesome!

well this must be a superman haters wet dream -_-

One of my favorite graphic novels. I'm sure this will be just as awesome as Year One.

Gnyah123 - 3/17/2012, 11:49 AM
so the dark knight returns....is this going to be a follow up to batman year one??...if so im sure joker will be in this one since they showed his card at the end of year one just like in batman begins.
its obviously not goin to follow the comic book EXACTLY but has and steal some ideas...for this new movie coming out
but i cant wait..i hope the guy who did the voice for bruce in batman year one returns to do his job!

@sillybilly, who brought up avengers? nobody, dont try to start shit here too

Ok they say it looks cool but more importantly how goods Superman vs the Elite?

The Dark Knight Returns is a good book but more the first half than the second I hate the way Frank Miller turned Superman into a government stooge.

I luked the book, but I've always hated the artwork

LOL @ all the Liberal Pussies hating on Miller. And @ everyone else don't bother bringing up works of Miller's that might appeal to them because once you say something anti-Lib like Miller did you are forever evil and on their shit list. Libs are truly the close minded ones.
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 3/17/2012, 1:17 PM
The Dark Knight Returns would be so freaking cool as an animated movie. I can't wait for this.

I don't understand why there are people hating on this book when it is one of the best Batman stories ever.
