The Dark Knight Returns animated movie

[Silver Nemesis]

Here's a new clip.

It looks fun, but I can see what greggbray means about it looking a little too slick. It doesn't have the rough, grimy quality of Miller's artwork. And that makes it seem less edgy.

I understand the criticism but just figured the animators went as close to Miller's (imho overrated) style as they could while keeping it all animation-friendly.

The cop's delivery of that last line is, sadly, lacking compared to the actor who said a similar line in The Dark Knight Rises (though at least in the context of this movie, the line makes sense).

In other news, casting has been revealed for The Dark Knight Returns Part 2, with Human Target's Mark Valley as Superman and Michael Emerson as the Joker!

I love Emerson and I can't wait to hear his interpretation!

[Silver Nemesis]

Emerson as the Joker! Now that's an inspired piece of casting.

This is a casting decision I am genuinely excited about.

I find it kind of funny that in the last month the RoboCop world has intertwined with the Batman world with the casting of Keaton in the new RoboCop film and Weller as the new Batman voice.

[THE BAT-MAN]

I really wanted Michael Keaton to be the voice of Batman in this feature.  I mean seriously,  why couldn't they get him?  Michael has done some animated voice work before (The Simpsons, Cars, Toy Story 3).   At the very least he should have been auditioned for the role.

Can you imagine the publicity!

With these kind of things it like they purposefully avoid it. Looking around for everybody other than the fairytale fan choice who just happens to be sitting around getting older, has history with the character and would no doubt take up the opportunity if asked.
