[donmega]

Spoiler

Spoiler

It ain't the end though. There's a sequel to it. In the comics of course. The Dark Knight Strikes Again. not as good as this though. [/spoiler

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.

It may be the best "true" representation of a dc storyline ever. I was shocked to see the Nazi-chick

I'd put Year One as a close second.

Just saw Part 2 last night. It was intense. The battle between Superman and Batman just made it that much better. Batman's last words to Superman was awesome!


As far as best DC Animation, I'll still say Mask of the Phantasm.

[rillo561]

all i gotta say is if you haven't seen it yet, i highly suggest you watch

part 2 out this month

Wait so is part 2 out yet?

 

[DPancakes]

Part 2 was verrrrry good. Had my jaw dropped for the ending.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

But lettuce be cereal, mano y mano, batz would get vaporized by clark. Obviously. But batz would never let that scenario play out. He's always got plan b.

 

[rook]

Can I watch part 2 without seeing part 1? I'm asking because I have part 2 right here haha

 

[pr0phecy718]

If this is your first time with frank miller's batman, you might be confused with things in part 2. Either way, you should watch part 1 to get a feel for part 2.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Wait so is part 2 out yet?

Part 2 been out for many weeks now lol

 

[unknwn]

Evil Batman?

Spoiler

aw i'm excited. i hope they animate that even if it doesn't hold up as well as this; maybe i'll check out the comic too...i can't wait

 

[s0lefunk]

I remember how surprised I was with Under the Red Hood. About to watch this now..

 

[jjs]

Just watched the first part.

Honnestly, it wasn't that good. It was ok.

Part 2 looks sooooo much better though.

 

[MarvelSux]

the carnival scene

 

[you big dummy]

I actually thought part 1 was weak, but I'll check out part 2 later this weekend.


* EDIT*

Just got done watching part 2 and

Part 2 >>>>>>> Part 1

Can't wait to see the next one

 

[Moheezy]

Part one was a build up. Nothing more. Part two however.
Easily beats any other Batman animation. The amount of violence in there was unreal.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I think it was very appropriate where Bats and the Joker fought their last battle. . But the scene where the Joker just kills the entire audience including his doctor was unexpected. I loved every part of this Animation.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Going to buy pt2 tomorrow..

 

[rell]

didnt even know this dropped. and I been waiting for this for months! lol

 

[a blinkin]

I'd have rather they left Superman out of it. Though Bats did win, I didn't want to see a batman v superman movie. More Joker mayhem and Batman actually killing him in the end or him killing himself, then Bruce faking his death would have been fine by me.

It was an adaptation of a graphic novel. That part was necessary.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Agreed on being surprised by the amount of violence.

Spoiler

Joker killing the studio audience after slitting the psychiatrists throat with a broken coffee mug on national TV, plane crash, mass killing at an amusement park, swastikas covering nipples lol). And that final Joker scene. Wow..

Surprised the hell out of me though after I had such high expectations after the first.

 

[sreggie101]

will def be checking this out. the graphic novel was dope.


i have to say tho, just from watching the trailer, these batman cartoons don't feel the same without mark hamil and kevin conroy.

 

[championboyz7]

Just saw it. Wow.
Probably one of the best ive seen. On par with under the red hood.
