Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns
Wow this sounds like a dream come true. Back in 1986 this was the book that spawned my interest in Batman and he's been my favorite super hero ever since.
In a perfect world this would get a theatrical release and an R rating. I know the latter is a long shot but you never know. Guess we'll see but they'd have to water it down considerably to pull a PG-13 rating regardless of it being animated.

It’s going to get rather crowded out there, with alternative Batmen cropping up left, right and centre. We’ll barely be over Christian Bale when a reboot will see another lucky young man dropped into the role, and there are plans for another, different Bats to appear in a Justice League feature. Add to this the various animated Batmen, from Kevin Conroy, Diedrich Bader and Bruce Greenwood.
Too much Batman? Or never enough?
Well, I think there’s always going to be room for The Dark Knight Returns, don’t you?
Bleeding Cool have heard from multiple sources (enough with the multiples already) that work is underway on a movie adaptation of Frank Miller and Klaus Janson‘s classic The Dark Knight Returns. As you might have guessed, however, this is to be an animated adaptation, much like the recent All Star Superman or in-the-works Year One.
Fittingly, Year One will come along first, but DKR is already in the early stages of development. According to our sources, several veterans of Batman toons past will be on the crew list, though we’re still trying to confirm who is writing and directing the film.
It would be sheer guesswork to try and determine when this might make it to the screen, but it isn’t going to be anytime soon. Here’s hoping they do it right.
Which doesn’t necessarily mean with a dry, determined insistence on copying Miller’s pages…
Is it too late to suggest Adam West in the role?

It's an animated adaptation which should still be good, as long they don't try to make it safe for the kiddies.

DC's been doing a great job with Under the Red Hood & All Star Superman. Can't wait to see this one.
My concern would be how much WB decides to clean it up for the kids.
