Here are a couple of the main excerpts from the report. To read more, click on the link below to head on over to the site.

Bleeding Cool have heard from multiple sources (enough with the multiples already) that work is underway on a movie adaptation of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson‘s classic The Dark Knight Returns. As you might have guessed, however, this is to be an animated adaptation, much like the recent All Star Superman or in-the-works Year One.

Fittingly, Year One will come along first, but DKR is already in the early stages of development. According to our sources, several veterans of Batman toons past will be on the crew list, though we’re still trying to confirm who is writing and directing the film.


What do you guys think about this news? Are you looking forward to seeing the classic comic book adapted to the popular animated format or would you be happier with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment working on a live action version? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
