DK Return as Full Feature & 70 min Miller Doc? No Double Dip!
For fans thinking they are being 'double dipped' by this DC Universe Animated Original Movie 'Deluxe Edition' release of 'BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS,' think again. You only need look at what you are getting for your money to realize Warner Bros. animation is offering up a totally new 'viewing experience' for this groundbreaking animated achievement, along with phenomenal new extras well worth the investment. The full-length, uninterrupted version of the film clocks in at 2 hours and 29 minutes. That makes this uninterrupted viewing experience the closest fans will get to a Christopher Nolan 'Batman' film, perhaps, for the last time ever.
The fact that the entire version features a crew commentary track exclusive to this 'full-cut' means that fans get a creative perspective on the film as a whole. Had commentary tracks been recorded and released on each of the separate 'Part 1' and 'Part 2' releases, they would have inhibited the creators from discussing their...
Epic Achievement
Kudos to WB for releasing this film in a single package.
The story is legendary. The cast is incredible. The animation is excellent. This may be the best Batman film ever made, trumping even the works of Nolan. A large part is due to its loyalty to the source, Frank Miller's epic dystopian tale.
There are many layers inside the story. Social commentary. Political commentary. But at its core we find out what drives Batman and why he is so important. Not only that, but we get to see the two great superheroes go at it when Superman and Batman go toe-to-toe.
WB is packing a lot into this new release. The only shame I can see is that they're not giving the full film a theatrical release. It deserves one. The quality is there and as a singular film, it moves at a fast pace. I would love to see this one on the big screen in the Fall.
A must have for any TRUE Batman fan.
Most likely if your here its because your a "semi" big Batman fan or bigger. While I can see many coming her and claiming that this is simply a cash grab on DCs part I will gladly toss 20 dollars their way for this amazing set! I already own parts one and two and while many see this as a petty attempt for DC to make another last minute buck, the fact remains that the original parts separately did not do that well financially. Heartbroken because this has actually been my second favorite DCU release I came back to the well in order to support this full flick. I don't want the lack of money this movie got affect future possible DC releases. Im sure we all want to see a "Arkham Asylum" and "Killing Joke" movie someday.
To be honest the movie flowed much better as one film as aposed to two. That was one reason I didn't mind shelling out the 20 bucks. The other huge reason is obviously the 70 minute long Frank Miller documentary. If you don't know who Frank Miller is, shame on...
