Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Deluxe Edition coming to Blu-Ray this October

It goes without saying that the two-part DC Universe Animated Original Movie that is "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" was a great adaptation, if not one of the best Batman animated movies to hit home video and digital media. Split into Part 1 and Part 2, both movies were mostly faithful to the original 1986 limited series turned graphic novel by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, and the story helped redefine Batman for the modern age and brought the Caped Crusader back to his dark roots. I personally loved both films and added them to my collection... But this new announcement by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment  kinda makes me interested to revisit it, and entices newbies to look into the epic saga of an aged Batman coming out of retirement.

Set for release later this month, the next and final installment of Warner Bros.

Part 2 will see Batman taking on his eternal archnemesis, The Joker, as he returns to wreck havoc on Gotham once more. The Clown Prince of Crime isn't the only person Bruce has to contend with, as Batman's presence and influence on Gotham forces the US President to send a champion to stop The Dark Knight by any means necessary... Superman.
