Kauê V It shows how batman is a hope for gotham, the true feeling that he is the only one who can make the city feel safe. The blood, fight scenes, darkness, is something that makes the animation looks more serious. The final scene ends this with the most perfect final we could have. Absolutely perfect. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Cask and Crow P The movie fits the same tone and feel as the first one And does a great job on keeping the art style to a similar style to Frank Miller's original vision. You don't have to watch the first part to enjoy the movie but you would probably want to see it first. Falls in the middle of the line for DC animated movies Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Marius G "The Dark Knight Returns: Part 2" delivers a gripping conclusion to the iconic Batman storyline, staying true to the essence of Frank Miller's seminal work. While the movie excels in several aspects, there is one minor drawback that leaves fans craving for more—the Joker's part is regrettably short. From the moment the film begins, it becomes evident that this is not your typical superhero animation. Director Jay Oliva masterfully brings the gritty and dystopian world of Gotham City to life, where an aging Bruce Wayne (voiced brilliantly by Peter Weller) dons the cape and cowl once more to confront the rising chaos. The animation style perfectly captures the dark and brooding atmosphere of Miller's graphic novel, enhancing the film's authenticity. The voice cast delivers exceptional performances, with Michael Emerson as the sinister Joker, adding an eerie depth to the character. However, this is where a lingering disappointment arises—the Joker's role feels restricted and is over before you know it. Despite this slight hiccup, "The Dark Knight Returns: Part 2" compensates with thrilling action sequences and thought-provoking dialogue. Batman's conflict with the formidable Superman (voiced by Mark Valley) is nothing short of epic, serving as a highlight of the film. The battle between these two iconic heroes will undoubtedly resonate with fans for years to come. Furthermore, the film's exploration of Bruce Wayne's emotional journey as he grapples with his identity and the weight of his choices offers a captivating introspection into the mind of the Dark Knight. It's a stark reminder that, beneath the cowl, Batman is, after all, human—a powerful element that has always made him a compelling character. In conclusion, "The Dark Knight Returns: Part 2" is a worthy finale to an exceptional two-part adaptation. Though it stumbles slightly with the brevity of the Joker's involvement, the film redeems itself through its compelling storytelling, gripping animation, and memorable performances. If you're a fan of the Caped Crusader or simply enjoy mature and thought-provoking superhero narratives, this movie is a must-watch.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/23 Full Review Carl J the Dark Knight Returns with a BANG! This is the animated film comic fans have been waiting for. Batman fanatics will want to watch this and the Dark Knight Returns Part I back to back. Casual movies goers will want to head to their local comic shop for the first time ever. The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller is among the most acclaimed graphic novels ever. For years fans hoped for a film version of this four part miniseries. Just when we thought the cinematic world of Batman couldn't get any better (thanks to Chris Nolan's masterful Dark Knight Trilogy) we were finally bestowed the very faithful film adaption of the Dark Knight Returns. This films follows immediately after the Dark Knight Returns Part I. Bruce Wayne is old but more determined than ever to reclaim the city. Batman is met with both praise and animosity from the public. Commissioner Gordon has retired. The new commissioner wants Batman arrested. A teenage girl is the new Robin. Nazi gangs are roaming the streets. Joker is being released from jail. Green Arrow is getting involved in Gotham City's conflicts. Street gangs proclaim to be the Sons of Batman. The Cold War is about to reach its nuclear climax. Superman has been hired as an assassin by the president.... All of these events come together beautifully (and with many surprises) in a well-paced, brilliantly written, thought provoking, elegantly animated, and savagely action-packed epic played out by fascinating characters. The Dark Knight Returns reaffirms that the Legend of the Dark Knight is timeless and can only die when the rest of the human race goes with it.
