This is my first review for a animated feature, so sorry if this isn't a good review, and if it is a bit short.In this adaptation of the character 'Batman' we meet him in his retired period.
What can I say about this film that hasn't already been said? So often, great comics are adapted for the big or even small screen and random things are changed for whatever reason but not in this case.
In preparation for the upcoming Batman V Superman film, I've decided to revisit a few of each of the heroes' feature films, especially those where they come in direct conflict with one another.When it comes to comic book adaptations, there is usually a split opinion among fans.
Few artists have ever captured the depth of character and dark soul of one of D.C's most popular characters like Frank Miller.
1. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
This movie works so well, the animation as always is awesome, giving you the best sense of an action movie but also using it to show the feelings and the epic "bat-moments". The story is almost a perfect adaptation from Frank Miller's comic.
An adaptation of the 1986 comic book 'The Dark Knight Returns' by Frank Miller, Jay Oliva Directed 'Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1' is an outstanding animated flick, that left me spell-bound. A nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat experience, that is not to be missed!
Problem with DC animations is that they try to copy source material but push too much in too short. Masterpiece of graphic novel was based on building tension and interesting tv narration on society perspective.
Before I watched this animated feature and its second part, 'The Dark Knight Returns - Part 2', I had considered animated features based on the 'Batman' mythos to be quite a cosy way of filling an otherwise empty evening. They had their own level of violence that, at times, could be a little too graphic, but they were still a guilty pleasure of mine.
