For all you comic book geeks and bat geeks! You all must unite when it comes to this 80's tales told by the one critically acclaimed writer of our time! who wrote such movies as Robocop 2, Robocop 3, 300, Sin City and Batman: Year One. Directed 300, Sin City and The Spirit. Finally! It comes to our little screens but not really since we now have 100 inch lcd's these days. The story is depicted by frank miller as seen in this movie as about batman being in 50's and is retired for several years as the his cape as been but down for quite some time. Til a new force of arrives and wrecks havoc in Gotham City and it alarms the city for hope of batman's return. Bruce wayne having no choice dons the black cape and goes out kicks many behinds. The animation in this flick is absolutely beautiful! The voice talent is superb! not to mention that batman is played by Peter Weller(Robocop1) and Ariel Winter who played robin both did absolutely amazing jobs in filling the caped crusaders shoes! Batman fans! You must pick this up to add your bat collection!

The story of what Bruce Wayne would be like as an older man who feels all the pain of the abuse that his body took when he was a young crimefighter makes a great story. The world has gotten more violent and he can no longer sit by yet he feels every hurt in a way he didn't decades earlier. The animation is darker and more like the more recent movies that show the world with the darkness and the pollution of the city. This new tale doesn't pull any punches but tells a good story.

My son is some sort of Batman freak. 9/10ths of his gifts for Christmas were Batman-related, including this cheap, bargain bin movie. I sat down with him and watched it and it was entertaining to say the least. It was better than most of the stuff he scrounged up on the net. However, now I have to find Part 2...

I like the way an old Bruce Wayne gets bored & fed up with crime in Gotham, forcing him to become Batman once again. Spoiler alert...having a female Robin was a pleasant surprise as well. The final fight scene & having Peter Weller (original RoboCop) as the voice of the Dark Knight is classic.

BUY PART 2. This is just a build-up to part 2, showcasing how Bruce Wayne has gotten old, and how the city has fallen back into darkness since Batman's retirement. A new, young gang terrorizing the city prompts the Batman's return, but can an aged Batman defeat a new evil?

Overall I don't get into animated films to often but then I never tried. This first part of this film was neat though and I liked how it was done. Makes me really want to experience more animated comic films. It was a fun watch.

Great movie!! Loved it and makes for a great movie night.

A must have animated movie if you love DC Universe and Batman.

It was nice to see a more dark and mature Batman. This is the source of the dark and brooding batman that changed the way we see thus character. However this is something that is not appreciate for kids. If you are expecting the Saturday morning Batman you will be disappointed.

This is a good movie. Some of the storyline is a little predictable, but still enjoyable. If you like Batman you should like this movie. The only draw back is it's a 2 parter. I got it on the black friday ad so I paid very little for for the dvd.

I was a big fan of the graphic novel series and see this coming to the movie form was exciting for me. It follows the the graphic novel very closely and is a great watch .

Great flick and depiction of the "dark knight." the animated movies have always been pretty good. A great watch for the batman or even anime fan.

Been looking for this part since seeing part 2 & i'm looking forward to checking this one out. What can i say other than i like animation alot.

I'm a fan of the comics and this was directed by someone who has been in the Batman realm for many story lines. Solid movie and a great price.

For the price, I definitely got my money's worth from it. Suffers a bit animation-wise since it was direct to DVD. If you're a Batman fan or Allen Moore fan, this will be right up your alley.

I collect all Batman comic movies, I am big Batman fan, dark knight is a must for anyone that loves the big bat, it's awesome.

I've been getting into batman, I got the animated series from the 90s and a lot of these animated movies are really cool.

This is part one of two of an excellent adaptation of Frank MIller's TDKR. Fantastic adaptation of one of the greatest comic books of all time.

DC animated movies have been better than the theatrical ones lately. This is one of my favs. Check it out.

Not much to say here other than this is another great DC product and really am liking these movies from DC right to Bluray.
