I don't know how they have managed to show all this in 75 minutes .. but i thought i was watching a 2 hour movie and the thrill never went down . NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTEThe first part was in itself great, but the second part really breaks the boundary of excellence. Not being familiar to the graphic novel origins of the story, what happens in second part really blows my mind. Not only does Batman have the Joker to contend with, but put Superman together in the mix, and you get another level of awesomeness.This is one of the darkest portrayals of the Batman universe and it makes me wonder how the hell did they get away from an R rating. Never has been an animated movie been so thrilling and so serious for me like these. The whole story and some of the fight scenes are just epic. While face-offs with Harvey Dent & the Mutant Leader in Part 1 was great, battles with the Joker & Superman in Part 2 takes animation movies to a whole new level. Some might be disappointed not to hear Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill's familiar voices, I'd say the chosen actors to play the older counterparts was a right decision. Some subplots might be mildly uninteresting, but that is irrelevant when most of the package is stuffed with such greatness.Easily the most powerful conclusion and the finest animated production from Warner Premiere, the whole thing looks superb. Animation is of the highest quality, rivaling that of big budget anime movies. Fight scenes are in full motion, bristling with a kinetic sense of energy and without a single short cut. All of it set to a unique score by composer Christopher Drake which combines blockbuster orchestral tunes with a futuristic tune inspired synthesizer sounds. Again, the main complaint is more with the art than the animation. Frank Miller's art is faithfully replicated but in certain scenes, the quality of the art takes a nose dive. One such scene involves superman taking on a naval fleet; the way the ships are drawn look pathetically cheap compared to the rest of the movie.These are Batman movies which almost shake my soul some of the familiar experiences are Batman Under the Red hood and The Dark Knight.But I recommend a new comer to watch in this order1)Batman Under the red hood 2)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 3)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 Final marks A++

One of the most violent, complex, dark and epic representations of the caped crusader, TDKR Part 2 is absolutely unforgettable. The movie is fast paced, taking you to the last journey of Batman in an effective manner. It is true that is less thought provoking, but that little flaw is requited with the other highlights.The movie continues with its realistic tone with one of the best Joker performances. A Joker in suit and tie, using makeup and no gadgetry; arguably one of the most bloodthirsty, sadistic and psychopathic Joker (or at least tied with John Dimaggio's) in recent history. Michael Emerson has a perfect voice for this humanistic representation of the Clown Prince of Crime, and oh boy does he steals the show. One of the best confrontations between this two nemesis, with an outcome that proves the Joker will always be Batman's ultimate challenge.Then, there's the amazing battle with Superman. If only the people behind "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" would have stayed faithful to this, that movie could have been from another world (but no, it sucked). A rivalry we all waited to see blowing off, we get a more than satisfactory outcome and result; those quotable lines will have us all remembering, in all the years to come in our most private moments, that one man. The animation is good, the voice performance is excellent, every combat or outcome in the movie is epic, and there's that amazing hunting score.FINAL CONSENSUS: Reaching the height of big ones like Mask of the Phantasm and Under the Red Hood, this dark and epic conclusion is a more than welcomed addition to Batman's animated pantheon.

In general, I love this two (part 1+2). The action, the world setting and story, batman's tactical, even soundtracks. Not much for the graphic though. And the joker is a lame joke.Here are few things that bug me: 1. Dealing with Dent, Batman runs through a line of cable, steady like he's on the ground along with sound of footsteps. Then, he fires a hook rifle which clearly not reloaded.2. Joker's two robots, Bobby and Mary, are childish. How do they fly, have high AI, carry gas and bomb? In addition, Joker's plan is lame.3. Russian launches the nuke and we never hear anything from them. US seem to be safe from following treat, fight, or anything.4. Clark is too powerful to be controlled by the government, especially when the president is a dumb ass.

This is a spoiler-free review, so don't worry xD.This movie depends on how much you enjoyed the FIRST part. Let's see, while many of us found it amazing with very good fight sequences , some viewers were left disappointed .. Well, this movie covers it all - good story line (10/10), action- packed (Boy, the action sequences are THE best.. 10/10) and EPIC fight scenes - I had to watch batman vs joker and batman vs superman because it was AWESOME, it took animation to another level. Below, are few answered questions. Violence? YUP!! lots of blood during fight scenes, might be disturbing and scary for young viewers and throwing batarangs in the eyeball kinda stuff.... (8.5/10, they can reduce the violence because there will mostly be only young viewers)Good sequel? Absolutely ! Animation was Perfect, and if you are a DC or a bat fan, you will love it!! (10/10)So guys, This movie is epic! You'll love it !! Note - Batman vs Superman:Dawn of justice is slightly based on this movie. You'll find out why when you have finished watching the movie.Hope my review helped :)
