a5c7b9f00b The Batman has returned after a 10-year absence. The Gotham authorities want to arrest him. An old foe wants a reunion. The Feds want the Man of Tomorrow to put a stop to him. After a 10 year absence, the Dark Knight has returned to Gotham to fight the Mutant threat. After defeating the mutants, he has taken control of a gang loyal to him in order to make Gotham a safer place. But, the Joker has decided to stop this, and fights against Batman in a deadly duel. Meanwhile, the Man of Steel is ordered to stop the Dark Knight because the government believes that his ways are wrong. As Batman fights the Joker, the Man of Steel prepares for his greatest fight. Faithful to the original comic, right down to its Cold War setting, TDKR:P2 veers off the strong &quot;Hero returns&quot; narrative from Part 1 and mixes in a clumsy and ham-handed dose of geopolitics and Superman. Fine for what it is, but it belongs in another arc IMO, and comes off here like a 2nd rate version of Watchmen (Which, like TDKR, debuted in print starting in 1986). The story is strongest when Batman&#39;s arch nemesis, The Joker (Played here for the first time by Michael Emerson, who makes the character his own in a solid turn) is involved. Had that been the focus, it would&#39;ve been a powerful ending for this two-part saga. As it is, this is a well and faithfully made—but ultimately unsatisfying—conclusion. This part 2 to the faithfully replicated 2 part &quot;The Dark Knight Returns&quot; animated movie from the comic books. The voice actors once again nails it in this, especially Peter Weller who fits the voice of the old Bruce Wayne perfectly. Although I had a blast with part 2, I just didn&#39;t enjoy itmuchpart 1. Which played off more from the aftermath and Batman&#39;s age with original directions. The battle with the Joker and Superman is cool and all. But it felt lacking in certain areas, for instance I expected more of a psychological mayhem when it came to the Batman facing off against his arch-nemesis for the final time. The Joker isn&#39;t a pivotal part of the plot, nor did it seem like he was a primary villain. However it was interesting and shocking how dark Batman has become and how far he is going to go when fighting on the edge of his sanity. This is a installment that all Batman fans or superhero movie fans should check out. By combining the two parts, this is most definitely an epic installment from DC. It&#39;s more than a satisfying movie, but I would even say it adds onto the original comic book it&#39;s based on without taking anything away.<br/><br/>8.7/10
