Dark Knight Returns Animated Feature On the Way?
Bleeding Cool says yes. Obviously, adapting material this beloved by so many this could be a triumph or a disaster. DC has proven to be particularly adept at adopting great material into animated features, especially with their recent All-Star Superman - an excellent benchmark for a project like this, as it too is iconic, challenging material that had a legion of hardcore fans standing ready to rip apart an adaptation that didn't do it justice.
Instead, the animated feature was embraced and hailed as a creative milestone and a new high-water mark in comics-based animation by pretty much everyone, myself included.
Perhaps emboldened by that, DC allegedly has scheduled a Dark Knight animated feature, after first adapting yet another Frank Miller classic, Batman: Year One.
