Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

The second part of Frank Miller's run of the Dark Knight Returns is as gruesome as the first but packs better characters over 2 stories that is still connected.

Firstly, the return of Joker. Still as gruesome as the comics but lesser the finesse. Heath Ledger did an epic characterization of Joker that is hard to compete. Both Batman and Joker grew older, the fight grown slower and Batman finally came to his senses to finally rid the clown prince of crime.

With the increasing concern of the safety of Gotham, US president decides to put a stop to the vigilante and got assistance by Superman. Expect great battle between the 2 friends.

The story progresses as how the comics did but there were parts that I don't recall reading. The animation were less edgier than Frank Miller's sketches but the show did kept to the storyline nonetheless. A great watch to catch.
