Quotes Mutant Leader : [picks up Batman out of mud] You finished, old man. This version combines both parts into a single minute movie. User reviews Review. Top review. The fan-favorite classic: Expanded, elaborated and faithfully replicated. One of the most beloved Batman tales finally gets the animation treatment.
So influential was Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" that it inspired Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan when they were crafting their live action Batman movies, as well as the s Batman animated series which gave birth to an entire universe of DC animated shows. Warner decided to split the tale, originally spread over 4 issues, into 2 movies.
Turns out that it was an excellent decision which not only successfully adapted the first half of Frank Miller's epic, but added layers to the story and characters that the limited page count of the graphic novel could not leave in. Rarely does an adaptation surpass the original source material.
But Dark Knight Returns part 1 is just such an example of an animated movie that is not only true to its source material, but expands upon it. The original was great; the animated adaptation makes it better. It has been years since Batman went into retirement. Billionaire Bruce Wayne now drifts from day to day hoping that the people of Gotham can take care of themselves. But now, a new threat emerges: The Mutants. A vast gang of street thugs led by their grotesque but incredibly strong and savage leader.
Despite his age, Bruce is forced to become Batman once again to save his city. But can the aging crime fighter stand up to a threat that is faster, stronger and more powerful than he has ever been?
And what happens when Batman comes face to face with his old nemesis Two-Face? Beyond the narrative lies a thorough deconstruction of the Batman character, especially when played opposite the two main villains, Two Face and the Mutant Leader. Both villains serve as a dark reflection of Batman himself. He took out the two henchmen and then pursued their leader, Bruno, who had fled.
Following her to an abandoned house, where she had been lured by Robin, Batman and Bruno fought until Superman intervened and secured Bruno to the wall with some bent metal pipes.
Batman knocked Bruno unconscious and told Superman to meet at his place in the morning. Clark Kent met Bruce and they spoke, Clark tried to convince Bruce to step down before someone gave him the order to shut down his operation. Bruce remained stubborn, stuck his ground and refused.
Batman glided down to the roof and stopped them from interfering by fighting his way through the officers. He used smoke bombs to cloak himself but Yindel called in a chopper to clear the smoke. The police began to shoot at him but he avoided their fire. Batman and the police continued to fight whilst the Joker killed everyone in the studio.
Robin decloaked the Batcopter and Batman jumped on board. Robin told him what the Joker had done and they returned to the Batcave. Bruce watched on the news as Congressman Hector Noches demanded a nuclear strike upon the Corto Maltese.
O'Halloran from the 6th precinct and got information from Yindel. He then fled and drove with Robin to Kyle Escorts. He found Selina Kyle dressed as Wonder Woman and tied up on a bed. He quickly freed her and she warned him that the Joker was worse than ever. Robin found a clue which lead Batman to surmise that the Joker was planning something at the funfair.
The police arrived so Batman and Robin fled. Robin nearly fell but grabbed a hold of Batman's cape who then hauled her up and held her tight. Batman and Robin arrived at the funfair where they spotted Joker handing out free cotton candy. Joker sent Bobby to blow up the glider and then Batman and Joker squared off. Joker took Michelle hostage but Batman threw three batarangs at him and she ran free.
Joker fled to a house of mirrors and took another hostage. Batman followed Joker into the house of mirrors and rescued the hostage before engaging in a brutal fight with Joker in which Batman got shot. Despite the bullet wound, Batman continued to follow the Joker who killed a security guard and took his gun. He went on a rampage killing everyone he happened across in the Tunnel of Love. Dick Grayson during this time was 19 and had been active as Robin since age 12 giving his tenure as Robin to be 7 years.
All together this gives some specific information to work off of if looking at other characters. The age difference between her and Bruce is only 12 years.
This allows me to establish her age for specific story points in the Frank Miller Batman Canon. Going based off key events, the ages of the characters go as follows:. So far, eight actors have portrayed Batman in feature films, with the Caped Crusader starring in 10 films to date, with an eleventh on the way in Here's how old, at least to the best of our knowledge, Batman was in each. With that in mind, Adam West was 37 years old when season 1 premiered - as well as when the tie-in movie hit theaters - and since Batman is already a veteran crimefighter from the start of the show, Bruce being in his late 30s to early 40s makes sense.
Batman , Tim Burton's first crack at directing Gotham City's resident protector, starred Michael Keaton in a fondly-remembered take on the titular role. He would return for sequel Batman Returns , also directed by Burton. Like with West's Batman, the Burtonverse doesn't spell out how old Bruce is supposed to be, so the logical thing is to look at Keaton's real-life age.
Oddly enough, Keaton was also 37 when playing Batman for the first time, which makes him 40 in Batman Returns. However, the fact that Batman is treated as a relatively recent development in Gotham during Burton's first film would suggest that Bruce is supposed to be a little younger, perhaps 32 or A tie-in to the legendary Batman: The Animated Series , Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is Batman's only animated theatrical release, featuring regular actor Kevin Conroy voicing the character.
Obviously, with a voice role, an actor's real age has no real bearing on the character's age. That said, Batman Beyond is a sequel show set in the future of the same universe, and official marketing material establishes that Bruce is somewhere in his late 70s to early 80s.
