DC Announces Animated Version of The Dark Knight Returns

This is a big one. DC have been adapt­ing some of their best regarded mate­r­ial into direct to DVD ani­mated form. But The Dark Knight Returns is a bit dif­fer­ent. In impor­tance, in the nature of its story and in its size.

But it’s hap­pen­ing. It will be split into two movies (the ani­mated DVDs usu­ally run to about 70 or so min­utes) which should help keep the story at least some­what complete.

The first part comes out later in 2012 and the sec­ond in 2013. Peter Weller (Robo­cop) has been cast to voice Bat­man and the scripts were writ­ten by Bob Goodman.

The Dark Knight Returns is still my favorite Bat­man story of all time so I’m curi­ous to see how faith­ful the adap­ta­tions are.
