Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 Hd Full Movie Download

Batman has not been seen for ten years. A new breed of criminal ravages Gotham City, forcing 55-year-old Bruce Wayne back into the cape and cowl. But, does he still have what it takes to fight crime in a new era?
There has been a few really good straight to DVD Batman animations, but this one takes the cake. Having watched the last installment of Christpher Nolans Batman on the big screen, this little piece just keeps the fire burning. Im so impressed by the attention to detail and story line that i wont even begin to give you the low-down/plot, you just need to see it for yourself. Any fans out there will be glad to know this is part one of a series and when you watch it, you'll see how the story drives you straight into the cliff hanger , all the elements are there ,even as we get to understand that Batman/Bruce Wayne has aged significantly it doesn't slow down the action, after all "Old Heroes never die , they just get Darker". i cant wait for part II . Well done and Respect to the Director and his crew for putting this together so well.
Despite sporting an unwieldy title (an unnecessary and clumsy modification of the seminal Frank Miller comic book), the end result stands far from what its moniker would suggest, providing a traditional but loyal adaptation that should easily satisfy fans while offering up something for the less initiated. It's actually immensely interesting to prop up Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 – out on DVD and Blu-Ray today – alongside Christopher Nolan's trilogy and take a long hard look. Despite the obvious variance in medium, they couldn't be more different at heart either. Landing in a deteriorating Gotham City with a retired, 55-year-old Bruce Wayne (and a rising criminal organization known as The Mutants) the events that eventually thrust The Caped Crusader back into the cowl do not require the grounded procedure we've been experiencing since 2005's Batman Begins. Despite laying low for the course of a decade, Wayne is still a chiselled, hulking and athletic presence – nearly inhuman in fact – and is able to return to his vigilante ways without a great deal of difficulty (no Rocky-esque training montages to be found here). In a way it's a refreshing change of pace. Likewise is the arrival of a new incarnation of Robin (a teenaged girl by the name of Carrie Kelly) who takes to gravity-defying gymnastics and villain-dispatching at the flick of a switch. Again, it's loyal to the traditional roots of the genre, but it should still detract minimally from those who admire the more grounded superhero films of the last decade. As you've likely surmised, I am one of the aforementioned uninitiated when it comes to DC's animated canon, having seen only the stellar Mask of the Phantasm from back in 1993 before venturing to this adaptation. Although far from my usual cup of tea, so to speak, "Part 1" makes it easy to see why Miller's comic is so revered and if ever adapted to live action would be an utterly bleak and fascinating endeavor. For now, this hand-drawn-GCI creation will do just wonderfully for those subconsciously begging Warner Bros. to go somewhere geeky with The Dark Knight when the inevitable reboot hits. My one big complaint that doesn't have to do with basic execution would be the lack of depth in the Bruce Wayne character. With a two-film arc at play, more time could have been used to explore this troubled and emotionally broken individual who is one of the most tormented incarnations of Batman's human alter-ego. Although starting out rather choppy, the animation gradually improves as the fight scenes escalate, eventually barely calling to attention that it is in fact not real-life actors and sets we're witnessing. The two principle battles between Batman and the brute known simply as Mutant Leader are stellar, unafraid to highlight snap bones and spatter those involved in crimson. Additionally the voices behind these characters are excellent across the board, particularly RoboCop's Peter Weller as Batman and David Selby as a retiring James Gordon. Modern Family's Ariel Winter also lends her pipes as Robin. With this being part one of the full adaptation, we've so far got but a tease of Lost's Michael Emerson as The Joker, which will no doubt turn out to be a treat to behold. It's nothing we haven't seen before in terms of execution (the days of watching Superman on Saturday morning cartoons when I was but a youngun' spring immediately and vividly to mind) it's Miller's original vision and a dedicated cast that knock Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 up a peg in terms of what one would expect from a direct-to-DVD product. When viewing the entire adaptation when "Part 2" arrives in 2013, it will no doubt be a favorite among fans of all Batman comics and is worth a look for those who deem these types of films as strictly nerd fare. 7.5/10 playeraffinity.com

The budgets for the DC Universe Animated Original Movies only allow for films of about 70 to 75 minutes in length. The graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns is long enough that it couldn't be adapted as a single animated film without seriously compromising the original story. Therefore, the film has been split into two parts to allow for a more faithful adaptation. Fairly faithful. This movie is not as faithful the animated version of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One where the entire movie was a page for page recreation, but it is perhaps the second most faithful adaptation of a graphic novel to movie in the DC Animated series. Some scenes are changed around, some scenes are removed, some characters are visually altered but the story in the movie remains the same as the story in the graphic novel, and there are no sweeping changes to the original story. The biggest omission is that Batman does not have narration in the movie like he does in the graphic novel. In the graphic novel Frank Miller wrote a constant line of narration from the point of view of Batman's thoughts and his war journal. This narration did more than just explain the actions that the reader was seeing and actually revealed some important story information that was not otherwise seen or discussed. The filmmakers decided to leave out this narration and let the visual aspect of the story stand on its own. In the 1980s, the time when Frank Miller wrote The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, Dick Grayson had already left Batman's side to become the hero Nightwing. He was replaced by an orphan and street hooligan named Jason Todd, whom readers greatly disliked. Eventually DC Comics created a publicity stunt to put Jason Todd's fate in the reader's hands. In a comic book story line called A Death in the Family, the Joker had beaten Jason Todd to near death. DC Comics then created a 1-900 phone number for readers to vote whether Todd lived or died. The votes were for his death and Jason was killed in the next issue. While no actual reference is given to how Jason died in The Dark Knight Returns, it is not unreasonable to assume that the events depicted in A Death in the Family could also have happened in the alternate timeline that The Dark Knight Returns takes place in. An interesting note is that The Dark Knight Returns was published 2 years before the storyline in which Jason Todd was murdered. Eventually a third Robin named Tim Drake would join Batman on his war on crime, but The Dark Knight Returns was written before that character was created and does not take this into account. For another DC animated film that deals with Jason Todd as Robin, <a href="/title/tt1569923/">Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)</a> may be of interest. It is not explained where Dick Grayson is during the events of this story. As stated, he was not the Robin that was killed and brought Bruce Wayne to decide on retiring as Batman. In the original graphic novel when Batman is first defeated by the Mutant leader, Batman begins to monologue to himself as if he were speaking to Dick Grayson but does not reveal any information about his fate in this story. However, in Frank Miller's graphic novel sequel to this story Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again it is revealed that Dick Grayson went crazy from years of rejection from Batman and became the second Joker. It is set in an alternate version of the 1980s, in a similar manner as the film adaptation of <a href="/title/tt0409459/">Watchmen (2009)</a>. When the story was originally written this was a contemporary time setting and only became an alternate history setting after it took many years to produce as a movie. For more of Frank Miller's take on Batman you may enjoy Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, Batman: Year One and its <a href="/title/tt1672723/">animated adaptation</a>. For more of superheros in a dystopian future you may enjoy Paul Pope's Batman: Year 100 and Kaare Andrews' Spider-Man: Reign. a5c7b9f00b
