Batman has not been seen for ten years. A new breed of criminal ravages Gotham City, forcing 55-year-old Bruce Wayne back into the cape and cowl. But, does he still have what it takes to fight crime in a new era?
10 years after civil liberties protests forced him into retirement, the deterioration of law and order in Gotham City persuades Bruce Wayne that it is time to put the cape and cowl on again. A gang known as the Mutants needs to be dealt with, Harvey Dent has just had successful surgery to restore his face, a young girl called Carrie Kelly decides to become an unauthorised Robin and, in Arkham Asylum, an unnamed inmate who has been catatonic for 10 years comes back to awareness.<br/><br/>This 80-minute animated feature adapts the first half of Frank Miller&#39;s 1986 comic series which puts Batman into a nightmarish hypothetical future. It takes great care to base its design on Miller&#39;s original drawings, and all the many iconic images from the comic are faithfully reproduced. There is minor re-ordering of events, mostly for the better. The sound design in first rate.<br/><br/>And the ending, setting up part 2, is chilling.
After seeing Batman Year One, I was nervous about this one, but I was pleasantly surprised! The story is faithfully recreated here, with very little censorship of the violence, and most of the (included) dialogue straight from the pages of the comic, albeit with some forgivable changes. The pacing is excellent, and really captures that sense of &quot;awesome&quot; that the graphic novel had. The visual style is &quot;close enough&quot; to Millar&#39;s work to give you flashbacks, but of course it lacks the detailed nuances of the comic. And lastly, the music fits everything perfectly.<br/><br/>Some complaints, though. First and foremost, the acting lacks passion. Virtually all the main characters play &quot;middle of the road&quot; emotions well, but any extreme was unconvincing to me. It&#39;s almost like there was a &quot;no shouting!&quot; rule for the actors. Nobody gets really angry, or forceful, or upset. Even so, it&#39;s nowhere near as disappointing as the acting in Batman Year One.<br/><br/>Also missing is Batman&#39;s inner monologue- which I guess can be forgiven since movies are a visual medium, but ultimately we lose some of the comic&#39;s best lines because of it. Though they do try to force some of batman&#39;s narration into the movie as dialogue, it doesn&#39;t work that well at all.<br/><br/>One change I&#39;m not sure about is the PG-13 censorship to the script. They maintain the political dichotomy that existed in the comics, but it&#39;s way toned down. They seem to want to avoid alienating people on either side of the political spectrum (perhaps wisely). Some of the humor is still there, but again, it&#39;s got kid gloves on.<br/><br/>In the end, though, this is a wonderful execution of a great story. I eagerly look forward to Part 2!!

The budgets for the DC Universe Animated Original Movies only allow for films of about 70 to 75 minutes in length. The graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns is long enough that it couldn&#39;t be adapted as a single animated film without seriously compromising the original story. Therefore, the film has been split into two parts to allow for a more faithful adaptation. Fairly faithful. This movie is not as faithful the animated version of Frank Miller&#39;s Batman: Year One where the entire movie was a page for page recreation, but it is perhaps the second most faithful adaptation of a graphic novel to movie in the DC Animated series. Some scenes are changed around, some scenes are removed, some characters are visually altered but the story in the movie remains the same as the story in the graphic novel, and there are no sweeping changes to the original story. The biggest omission is that Batman does not have narration in the movie like he does in the graphic novel. In the graphic novel Frank Miller wrote a constant line of narration from the point of view of Batman&#39;s thoughts and his war journal. This narration did more than just explain the actions that the reader was seeing and actually revealed some important story information that was not otherwise seen or discussed. The filmmakers decided to leave out this narration and let the visual aspect of the story stand on its own. In the 1980s, the time when Frank Miller wrote The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, Dick Grayson had already left Batman&#39;s side to become the hero Nightwing. He was replaced by an orphan and street hooligan named Jason Todd, whom readers greatly disliked. Eventually DC Comics created a publicity stunt to put Jason Todd&#39;s fate in the reader&#39;s hands. In a comic book story line called A Death in the Family, the Joker had beaten Jason Todd to near death. DC Comics then created a 1-900 phone number for readers to vote whether Todd lived or died. The votes were for his death and Jason was killed in the next issue. While no actual reference is given to how Jason died in The Dark Knight Returns, it is not unreasonable to assume that the events depicted in A Death in the Family could also have happened in the alternate timeline that The Dark Knight Returns takes place in. An interesting note is that The Dark Knight Returns was published 2 years before the storyline in which Jason Todd was murdered. Eventually a third Robin named Tim Drake would join Batman on his war on crime, but The Dark Knight Returns was written before that character was created and does not take this into account. For another DC animated film that deals with Jason Todd as Robin, <a href="/title/tt1569923/">Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)</a> may be of interest. It is not explained where Dick Grayson is during the events of this story. As stated, he was not the Robin that was killed and brought Bruce Wayne to decide on retiring as Batman. In the original graphic novel when Batman is first defeated by the Mutant leader, Batman begins to monologue to himself as if he were speaking to Dick Grayson but does not reveal any information about his fate in this story. However, in Frank Miller&#39;s graphic novel sequel to this story Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again it is revealed that Dick Grayson went crazy from years of rejection from Batman and became the second Joker. It is set in an alternate version of the 1980s, in a similar manner as the film adaptation of <a href="/title/tt0409459/">Watchmen (2009)</a>. When the story was originally written this was a contemporary time setting and only became an alternate history setting after it took many years to produce as a movie. For more of Frank Miller&#39;s take on Batman you may enjoy Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, Batman: Year One and its <a href="/title/tt1672723/">animated adaptation</a>. For more of superheros in a dystopian future you may enjoy Paul Pope&#39;s Batman: Year 100 and Kaare Andrews&#39; Spider-Man: Reign.
