Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 Reviews

june, 2026

7/10

It was pretty good, it was interesting to see an older Bruce Wayne deal with his age as a factor when fighting crime. Peter Weller did a pretty good job of voicing Batman. I just felt like it was all just setup for part 2. I guess I’m just gonna have to check that one out now!

trash

pleasantly grim and brutal

Good. I enjoyed the aspect of Bruce falling off and being challenged by a younger stronger opponent, Mutant Leader. Excited for part 2

No Country For Old Batmen

absolute cinema

Alfred is the only good part of this movie.

For the most part very faithful to the amazing Frank Miller book. The voicing and animation is good and the tone fits really well. Overall a super good movie

Good

Animated Batman movies also hit. I liked the idea more than the execution, like the reason he came out of retirement was weak. Should have been a better villain. Still a really good movie.

7/10

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m not totally sold on a 70 year old Batman. Seems like a younger man’s game. Love the 90’s animation aesthetic, though.

7/10 Peter Weller is ok as Bruce but would’ve loved an old version Batman voiced by the late and great Kevin Conroy

yes yes yes carrie kelly is eating it up

Excellent. 8/10
