I have previously reviewed The Dark Knight Returns Part 1, and after watching the second part, I decided to write a review on the end of it. Second part of this series has some good points that makes a perfect ending for this duo logy. It does drag a bit during the clash with the joker but rest of the movie has excellent pace.

Compared to the first part of the series, this part is much better.



If you ever dreamed about watching superman vs batman on animated series, then your wish comes true with this film. It has everything that you need from typical fast paced batman movie. I have found that only the jokers side was a bit weak but rest of the movie was arranged just fine.

What to like about this movie:
  • Superman vs Batman fight.
  • Good story
  • Classy joker plot in the movie.

What not to like about this movie:
  • A bit dragged on the jokers part.

I suggest grabbing a DVD of The Dark Knight Returns Part 2, If you wish to enjoy the old batman in action. In comparison to the first movie, this one has more action and the typical batman schemes that work out towards success. I think this movie is worth the collection for DVD.
Batman is one of the DC superhero with intellectual superiority. Most of the other DC superheroes simply lack the schemes and the skills to beat the enemies the way batman plans. Most of the comics and the animated movies point you towards fact where batman always has plans within plans. You'll find the same in the "The dark knight returns Part 1" movie.



It is new animated movie released in 2012, with set in 40 years after batman and the justice league falls apart. Batman gets back into the action, after he realizes the fact that crime is unstoppable unless he sets an example in front of the criminals. You'll find the story moving from this situation and from there you'll see how the story unfolds slowly.

What to like about the movie:
  • Fast pace.
  • Typical batman schemes and plans.
  • Good story.

What not to like about the movie.
  • A bit dragged at some points but recovered quickly.
  • Harvey dent doesn't put much enemy show.
  • Mutant leader doesn't look like a worthy enemy.

Is it worthy of collection?


Like Justice League: Doom, I have enjoyed The dark knight returns part 1 DVD and I think it is worthy of collection.

If you like batman movies then you're going to love this animated version as well. It has second part which ends the dark knight journey. I may review that later once I get my hands to the movie DVD.
