When is this coming to the UK? For that matter when is Justice League: The New Frontier coming to Region 2? Or Justice League: Doom? or All Star Superman? or Superman vs. The Elite? or Green Lantern: Emerald Knights? Damn DC!

I mean, do any of you actually know how to write a review? You criticize it for being too short, but say it doesn't feel rushed. Then what's wrong with the length? How about explaining yourself?

And even if you haven't read the original graphic novel, would it have killed you to do so before writing the review? Or are you against research?

this is base on the graphic novel? should i read it before watching part 1

RE: Tony93

I saw the movie and read the novel. Both are great. You probably dont need to read the novel to enjoy the movie but as a comic book fan the novel is def worth reading. One of Batmans best.

I've always known how the novel's story went, I just never got around to reading the novel itself. It's a priority for me now after watching the film.

Oh, and I'm not sure about what the status of the Flashpoint movie is. Haven't heard anything about it since Kevin Conroy said that he recorded lines for it.

@PaulRom and Tony93

You have to read The Dark Knight Returns. It is even better than the movie. It's a work of genius. But what ever you do, I urge you NOT to read it's sequel The Dark Knight Strikes Again. That book is absolute garbage. I almost stopped reading Batman after that.

I wish they would give that treatment to all their GN adaptations; hell I'd like them to do this with their adaptations period - or four if it's Crisis on Infinite Earths. Couldn't care less if they do Flashpoint though (story wasn't that good).

I've had the BluRay rip for two weeks and it's a phenomenal piece of work. I read the graphic novel again after watching and I compared it throughout and it more than stands up as a great adaptation. I was so angry at the end as "To Be continued.." came up, I want part 2 now!!! They should have released this as a full 2/3 hour movie, grr at DC. The highlight must be the final fight with the Mutant leader and I'm glad to see they stuck with all the TV screens from the comic. Batman is my favourite DC character(Im much more into Marvels characters) and I have all of DC animations films, this is definately in the top 3 if not the best. Batman year 1 was superb.

its good brutal in places,didn't really like robin much but overall a good animated movie.

maybe when i get to see part two,it'll take the number one spot.

"I haven't read the original graphic novel other than a few pages/panels, so I can't really say how close the movie is to its source material beyond the art work" Stopped taking the article seriously at this point lol. Please find someone qualified to do a proper review of this film because someone unfamiliar with the source material can't really give the opinion the visitors of this site deserve.

and "I haven't read Avengers #1" isn't really a valid argument unless you have seen a movie based on that issue, lol. Seriously...this is widely considered one of the greatest Batman stories of all time. On THIS site, it deserves a review from someone who is actually familiar with the legendary tale it was based on. This isn't JoeBloehometownnewspapermoviereview.com

It's only 76 minutes? I would've thought that because they're splitting it up into 2 parts then it would be longer than that/ Maybe they're saving it all for part 2. I have read this book so many times that the anticipation of seeing it is killing me! The only concern I have from the short clips I've seen is Peter Weller's voice, it doesn't seem intimidating enough. The Batman in this book is outright dangerous and almost unhinged, he's one scary mother fricker and I just don't get that from the voice work I've heard so far. Hopefully I'm proved wrong once I see the whole thing. Oh, and @BlueHawaiiSurfer - Not taking anything away from the reviewer but I totally agree with ya bud :-)

As much as I'm looking forward to seeing this, I might wait till they release part 2 so I can watch them back to back as a 2 1/2 hour movie... If I had to guess, I think it'll play better than "The Dark Knight Rises" but, hey, that's just me.
