Comic Book Adaptation
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1
Warner Premiere presents an all-new feature-length animated film based on Frank Miller and Klaus Janson's classic graphic novel. In the future, it's been a decade since Batman hung up his cape, and his city has fallen prey to gangs of barbaric criminals. But when he returns to crime-fighting, Batman becomes both a target of law enforcement and a new hope for a desolate Gotham City -- including a teenage girl named Carrie, who adopts the persona of Robin. Armed with a new sidekick, and re-energized with a definitive purpose, the Dark Knight returns to protect Gotham from foes new... and old.
