I know this comment is a little old but I just gotta say, that is one of the best Batman lines. It’s honestly Peter Wellers version of “I am vengeance, I am the night, I AM BATMAN”
It always amazes me that despite everything joker has done, the senseless cruelty, and the madness, and that his death was completely deservedly, and all the good things that Batman has done, he still knows the world well enough to say, “I made you lose control, and they will kill you for it… see you in hell
I’ve always thought that having Batman and Joker’s final battle in The Tunnel of Love is one of the most symbolic and poetic setting from this book and I love it for it. By far one of the best fights and moments from Batman media. If only Frank could get back to writing masterpieces like this again
@@BillyBob-x4s yeah Sin City and 300, Ronin, Batman Year 1 and Daredevil were his best works but since then it’s been down hill from there apart from issue 1 of Superman Year 1 that felt like the old Frank was writing again in some parts
I think in some fucked up way, Joker and Batman love each other. By that, I mean Joker loves messing with Batman and trying to get something out of him. It doesn't matter what, as long as Joker breaks him. For Batman, Joker is the only person who has ever pushed him to his absolute limit both physically and mentally. No one else has thought quite so much outside the box. Joker loves the chase and Batman loves the challenge.
Another book that he did that is one of his best in my opinion is called The Last Crusade which is a prequel to the Darl Knight Returns which is set in Bruce’s final days before his 10 year long retirement that’s mentioned in TDKR. That genuinely felt like the old Frank writing again. Although it’s short it’s a great read
One of my favourite batman stories They did a great job adapting it with these two parter animated movies Only thing missing were Batman's inner thoughts
What I love about TDKR is that everyone is freaking out about Batman’s return. Except for those who know. They know. They know Gotham no longer has to bleed. They know that her children no longer have to starve, no longer have to fear. Only those who betrayed her will. Only those who go against good and righteousness will feel his wrath. Only the petty and wicked shall feel the fists of Justice. Only the vile and dominating shall whisper his name. Only the most corrupt and evil will have to fear The Batman.
I swear man this tribute gives me inspiration of the writing and voice acting from the movies especially the tone you set showing inner demons that lie within batman that truly his life will always be a never ending crusade to rid the world of crime.
As Bruce steps away from the Batmoblie, he walks into the shadows. Carrie Kelley, now calling herself “Robin”, decides to snoop around the Batcave. When she is caught messing with the bat computer by Alfred, she only asked one question: “Where is he going?” Alfred responds with, “To find his purpose AGAIN.” As Bruce gets deeper into the shadows, he strips himself from his costume, like a war hero removing his service uniform. As he is naked, Bruce falls to his knees, looking up, seeing nothing but the darkness. He tries to call out an old friend. It doesn’t respond. He calls it out again and soon, he begins to hear the screech. The call of The bat. With Bruce staring right into its eyes, he is now starting to accept his destiny once more. “I’m not finished with you yet”, Bruce says. “And you’re not finished with me.” The bat that was hanging upside down starts to fly and fly straight to Bruce. “You’re NEVER finished with me.” Carrie, who finishes wondering around the cave, also sees the darkness. She see something coming out of it. It’s not Bruce. As he steps forward into the light again, she smiles and looks up to see The Batman returned once more.
@@lenart5417 Bruce funded Harvey Dent's surgery , and helped him reform only for him to come back , Bruce did a lot for the city as Bruce Wayne and Batman
Superman being weakened by the Nuke and not being fully recovered from lack of sunlight is also plot armour. Superman not trying to kill is also plot armour.
Actually there is a theory stating Joker snapping his own neck is not real its in Batman's imagination. Joker dies when Batman snapped his neck and the conversation after is in his head. Thats why Joker said, "u lose I mad eyou loose control" becoz batman already killed him.
0:27 Bruce didn’t put on the cowl again because Gotham needed him. He put the cowl back on because he needed Batman. He hasn’t been Bruce Wayne since that night in the alley.
Hearing Peter Weller’s distinctive growl made me want to hear Batman say “Come with me or there will be… trouble.” And “Dead or alive, you’re coming with me.”
I loved how merciless Batman was when he was fighting with Superman, in the movie and The dark knight returns. And I also like how he doesn’t let people get inside his head and control him.
Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel is the foundation of the modern Stories for Batman. The story, the psychological level that drives the story and the artwork. Three thumbs up!!
It was a forshadow of choice. But I think it was the Batman who died there. Bruce Wayne died when his parents died. The Batman was born that day. The day he killed Joker, that's the day when Bruce Wayne was reborn. He is now old and doing his most with the time he's got left.
Gotham was at a decline even when Bruce was a young Batman and he added some stability but when he retired gotham turned to hell sure the super freaks were gone but gotham was arguably worse the youth of the city was killing everyone and Bruce realised he had to be more than just Batman and came back and gave gotham its sole back I love both these films and comic
I love Batman so much. Mortal. Frail. Human. Driven. Inspired. Relentless. Everything that makes us weak and makes us strong. All that make us terrible and all that makes us great. His pain at losing his parents. His hatred of evil his refusal to kill. Bat man is man kinda greatest hero. Because he’s just a man. Because when earth needs hero’s to send to apokalipse we sent 10 aliens 15 meta humans and Bruce fucking Wayne.
The martial arts. The gadgets. The fights. The villains. They’re great but they’re not Batman. Batman is who sat on the swing set with ace and held her hand as she died. When ace said they stole my childhood! And Batman said I know. I’m sorry. That’s Batman. That’s humanity. Superman might save us from a comet. Batman saves us from our own darkness.
I like to headcanon that a story like this plays out in an alternate timeline for the Black Mirror story. James Gordon Jr poisoned Gotham's infants to make them clinically psychopathic in Black Mirror. Dick and Gordon were worried about the Worst of Gotham coming out, as if the city had a pulsing, beating heart of evil that infected the minds of its residents. James Jr wanted to make that a reality. I like to think that this story-- but not its sequels-- plays out in a similar way because of James Jr.
Bro i loved these both parts ANIMATED FILMS like i remember watching it on DVD. It was my childhood movie, even tho it was violent and gore i didnt mind that. And when i was watching i thought RETIRED BATMAN COMING BACK like HELL YEAH!!!!
I love that when Batman fights joker he knows letting joker live was a big mistake by saying how many people I ve killed by letting you live! Love this!❤
This was the first comic o ever read of Batman it’s the reason why I say he’s my favorite superhero and why I am always looking for more Batman movies and comics to this day
It's one of many problems I have with this storyline yeah. The other is making Superman a generic government stooge. It really should have been Captain Atom he fought.
@@Hifuutorian I mean the thing with Superman is, if he didn't accept what the Government made him, they would have forced him off the planet, his home. Just like they did with Green Lantern, Wonder Woman.
I’ve been telling people in excess of ten years in my age range and even a little older to see this literally perfect movie. Frame for frame adaptation, with no bullshit. Just great animation

He stood for what he believed in. He actually best Superman. He actually kills Joker. He actually proved it could be anybody, bc he’s an old crazy fuck and actually won the respect and inspiration of people to follow his example. It’s great.
@@godofwar-uz6px yeah, exactly. Might not be the best, but I always saw TDKR Bruce as a mentally broken person after his career as Batman. I always saw it more interesting that way

A fantastic comic, and a fantastic movie. The only thing, that still baffles me, to this day, is why they cast Peter Weller as Batman, and Michael Emerson as the Joker, as opposed to Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, respectively. Apart from that, the film is a great adaptation of the source material.
Thank you for making, and sharing, this.

Peter Weller and Michael Emerson are better than Conroy and Hamill respect their performances you swine
This also had a tremendous soundtrack.
Overall this is a very faithful adaptation of the comic. Even in the animation; you can see the influence of Miller's art style. It's not overt or anything but you can see it.
I mean, yeah. I think it captures the essence of the comic. Indeed, I think it could have been grittier, but I understand younger audiences and such.
Peter Weller was a very good choice for Batman/Bruce. Michael Emerson's take on Joker was very unique, which I really appreciate. Emerson's really good in general lol. Loved him as Ben Linus.

Really, who do they send after you?
My favorite line from Batman.
Imagine how Batman feels watching The Joker kill himself. All those years of fighting against him to finally knowing its over
Wonderful really!
As badass as Batman was in these two movies, Joker's "I never kept count" gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it
Peter Weller was a good batman. Wish hed voice him more.
