Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
“From the chronicles of the DC Universe comes the sweeping saga of rebirth, revenge, and redemption.”
AnimationActionMysteryScience Fiction
Batman has not been seen for ten years. A new breed of criminal ravages Gotham City, forcing fifty-five-year-old Bruce Wayne back into the cape and cowl, but does he still have what it takes to fight crime in a new era?
VIBE
A brutal, somber return to form. This animated adaptation captures the grim, violent essence of a decaying world where a broken hero must confront his own mortality and the darkness within. It's a stark, intense experience.
