Well done, both parts 1 and 2. Probably the best animation movie I've seen. Year One was a shocking disappointment, it just didn't have great flow to it. But this one was flat out awesome.

I must say, I was skeptical at first but Weller definitely does an amazing job here.

In the end, Superman didn't really want to kill Bats, just kind of stop him so the US Govt leaves him alone, they are still great friends.
Also agree that if they left out Superman, the ending wouldn't be the same at all and I'd be very mad if they changed that much from the novel.

Exactly. Superman always shows restraint. Bats doesn't, thus the anti-hero nature of the character.

I'm actually conflicted as to which one is better. I loved Under the Red Hood because of the emotional story telling. The scene with Joker, Jason Todd, and the crobar was ridiculous.

Come to think of it, it's kinda crazy at how TDKR somewhat influenced the whole Under The Red Hood/A Death in The Family stories.

Supes was weak for the fight too though.
But he definitely was showing restraint, because once Bats lost his helmet he was a laser glare away from being ended...
But ultimately Superman was the antagonist...imean he ripped Green Arrows whole arm out its socket
The violence was shocking though. Wasn't expecting to see all that...but then again this is a grownup animated film...

The joker made this movie for me. Dude is the best villain hands down. "can I keep this mug?". The whole rampage scene was crazy! Dude gave absolutely no dambs.
