The Dark Knight Returns is set in a near future where Batman is retired and Gotham City has slid into a dystopian state ruled by a gang of hooligans called The Mutants. The 55-year old Bruce Wayne is forced to don the cape once more, this time partnering with a female Robin to not only stop the Joker but keep the peace when the city falls into chaos after being hit by an electromagnetic pulse.



Many thanks to @MOVIELORD101 for the heads up.

The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 will be released this fall, while Part 2 will hit stores in early 2013.

Did anyone hear that "laugh" at the end?

That joker laugh sounds very much like a Hiyena and high-pitched. I really hope that joker since he's from the 80's doesnt come off as a flashy, crazy, Flamboyant joker. That would suck soo much

I will admit, when it comes to comics, I am pretty much a strictly Marvel girl, but I am so gonna have to read this now. Looks like an awesome story! Not sure I really like the animation/art work, but I get that it is a classic. Must find!!

I agree with Nomis and monkeyballs3. The Dark Knight Returns is by far the best comic ever!

Weller is nailing the Batman voice.
To bad they didnt tell who´s going to voice the bad guys. Harvey Dent, Joker, Mutant Leader.
Mutant Leader voice sounded crap. Hopefully thats not the final voice they are going to use for that character.
Clancy Brown would be [frick]ing great choice.

Agreed. Arguably, the best comic/graphic novel EVER! I even had a t-shirt with Bats on it from one of the pages in the book. Badass. I also read it periodically, just because I like the intensity that is created when he finally gets tired of the B.S. and has to come out and kick some ass!

Modern Family's Alex as the new Robin? Not too fond of that casting choice, she's probably the weakest actor in MF.

First off let me tell you im just as stoked for this as the Dark Knight Rises. Might just go pull it off the shelf and give it another reed. Second, how come it took so long to make this? Should have been one of the first ones they made. And last, shut the fart up. I gotta wait a year before i get to see the joker get blasted with a batarang in the eye? They know how to mess with our brains and bleed our wallets I will give them that.

I absolutely love this comic book. I own the leather-bound copy of the book and have read it several times. Great artwork and great story!
