Part 2 also doesn't offer much in the way of Miller's original narration, an unfortunate necessity for the filmmakers and a bittersweet change for fans of the comic, but it doesn't pull any punches either. Part 1 admittedly lacked some of the depth and complexity for which Miller's take on the Dark Knight mythos is revered - specifically the comicbook's running narration and the insight it provided into Batman's perspective and actions - but as a traditional animated venture, it excelled. Originally released in two parts, The Dark Knight Returns is a far more successful adaptation than I expected, and a more fully realized animated film than the bulk of DCU original animated movies on the market. Animation's fifteenth and sixteenth DC Universe animated original movies, Timm and his fellow producers have decided to finally give comic fans the adaptation they've spent more than twenty-five years begging for.
(Alan Moore's Watchmen being another, not that Zack Snyder didn't prove just how filmable a fairly faithful adaptation really could be.) Executive producer Bruce Timm and his team apparently don't scare so easily. Successfully adapting Frank Miller's seminal 1986 limited series, "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns," would be a monumental challenge and undertaking for anyone, Christopher Nolan included, and it's long been considered unfilmable.
