Under The Red Hood was
. IMO, way better than the actual comic arc it was adapted from. As for it being better the TDKR part 1, it could be since of course we're just comapring it to an incomplete movie. But between TDKR (1 &2) and under TheRed Hood, TDKR gets this.

Loved part 1. Haven't seen Part 2. The ending of Part 1 was so chilling with the Joker. "BBBBB-Batman, darling."

Wow, I didn't realize there was an animated version. I need to check this out ASAP.
However, the box art is atrocious.

Saw part 2 this past weekend and god damn it is so good. Hands down the best Animation DC has ever done to date. Do not miss out, you won't be disappointed.

Pretty much but it just looks so brutal in motion, if you've read the comic and knows what happens with Bats and Joker, you seriously would not think this is a cartoon and you would hate your little kid to watch it.

As much as I love Batman...
Everybody talks about the Batman - Superman fight in Dark Knight Returns and how Batman beat Superman and all that, but lettuce be serious... Batman only won because of Green Arrow. He wouldn't have been able to beat Superman if it were just 1 on 1.

Plus...
Supes was already hurt/weakened by the nuke and hasn't recovered to full strength because the clouds from the blast blocked the yellow sun.

^Wrong
Batman would have done something different with Kryptonite( from making an entire suit out of it, to stabbing Supes with it himself). Give Batman access to Kryptonite and he can always defeat Superman

This is batman tho, He wins with his mind. This version of the Batman is more vulnerable and exposed then the one most have grew accustom to but with that said, Batman always has a plan B. I think the save by Green Arrow added alot of drama to the film but I do agree with your previous post. This is the best DC animated movie ever...

Nah, this is an old dilapidated Batman, he did not intend to beat Superman in the first place, simply use him to kill himself really because the government will likely not be satisfied unless Superman, the most honest or loyal superhero in the world sees him defeated or declares him dead. So Bats used Supes to fake his death.
Either way, we will never see it but in the end, gauntlets off, Supes can beat Bats. Read Hush, when Supes was controlled by Poison Ivy, Bats could do anything with his kryptonite ring, Catwoman had to wake up Supes so he wouldn't kill Bats. Point is moot though since it'll happen how the writers wants it to come off. So if the writer wants Supes to simply kill Bats, they could if that is the story they are trying to tell.
It's funny because people always says he is overpowered and that he has the powers he needs yet everyone believes Bats can easily beat him no matter what. The credit goes to Batman for being smart while Supes takes a hit by being less interesting. He can't win. Supes is hated when he wins all the time because he is overpowered. Supes is hated even further when he actually loses and beaten by a human.
