Though their feature films seem less consistent than
Marvel’s counterparts, the
DC Universe Animated Original Movies have been kicking all sorts of ass since its inception with
Superman:
Doomsday back in 2007.
The reason this latest venture looks so familiar is because the overwhelming majority of you have caught a notable feature film which treads much of the same ground
Frank Miller blazed back in 1986.
The Dark Knight Returns reads as a blueprint for
Nolan’s final Batman instalment: A retired
batman, defeat at the hands of a powerful new foe, passing the torch to a younger generation....
The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 is directed by
Man of Steel storyboarder
Jay Oliva and stars
Robocop (
Peter Weller) and the smart one from
Modern Family (
Ariel Winter). TDKR Pt1 is set for release on September 25, 2012 with its conclusion set for an early 2013 release.
