Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012) is a DC animated action feature you can watch online on iFILM. Ten years have passed since Batman hung up the cape. Gotham is drowning in violence, and Bruce Wayne is pushing fifty-five.

A gang called the Mutants now owns the streets, brutal and fearless, mocking the law. The aging Bruce can't sit still and pulls the cowl back on, even as his body fails him and the police brand him a criminal rather than a savior. Young Carrie Kelley joins his side as a new Robin in a red suit. Together they take on the gang, the news media hunting the Dark Knight, and the doubts of a hero unsure he can still fight the old war.

Adapted from Frank Miller's landmark 1986 graphic novel that reshaped how the world reads Batman. Directed by Jay Oliva, with Peter Weller (RoboCop) voicing Bruce and Ariel Winter as Carrie. A hard, grim take on the legend that pulls no punches for being animated. Stream Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 (2012) online on iFILM.
