  • Number 10 Batman.

  • The Dark Knight returns.

  • You're slowing down.

  • Yeah, we're in for a show, kid.

  • Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is a contender for Batman's greatest graphic novel, so any adaptation will come with lofty expectations.

  • Wisely split into two parts, The Dark Knight returns.

  • Films do justice to the source materials, ambitious and thematically dense narrative.

  • You say you answer to some sort of authority.

  • They only want me dead because I'm an embarrassment.

  • Yeah, because I do what they can't.

  • What kind of authority is that?

  • While some elements, such as the Cold War plot thread are naturally dated, the stories dissection of Batman mythos and his influence on society remains impactful, as does the political commentary involving Superman.

  • These movies push Batman to its natural conclusion, an endpoint defined by violence, anarchy in a hint of hope.

  • Starting now, I'm going to teach you everything, all of my ways, all of my secrets.

  • You're going to be my Army operating in the shadows.

  • Number nine Batman, Gotham Night So predictable I knew I'd flush you out if I went after the lieutenant.

  • Let's make my clients very happy.

  • Split into six shorts.

  • Batman, Gotham Night Bridges, The gap between Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, with different writers and directors handling each segment, Gotham Night varies widely in terms of quality, although not every story hits the mark.

  • The film does at least improve as it goes along with the second batch of episodes being far better than the first You work grouping Bruce after all these months, having to learned highlights include Brian as our Ellos character driven, working through pain and two segments animated by the anime studio madhouse, one of which features a terrifying take on killer Crock Crockett.

  • E think he's got the scare crows fear toxin boiling inside his vein infected me with that.

  • Are you in pain?

  • I work through pain number eight, Batman and Mr Freeze Sub Zero.

  • How long does she have to stand there until a cure can be found?

  • Until then, my love will be here together, building upon the excellent character work established in Batman, the animated Siri's sub zero brings Mr Freezes story to its logical conclusion until it continued in the new Batman adventures, similar to the shows much celebrated Heart of Ice episode Sub zero presents an antagonist who is on Lee, a villain out of necessity as Freeze proves, to be willing to do anything to save his wife.

  • Come on, let's get out of here.

  • No, not without Nora.

  • Even with polar bears serving as henchman, Sub Zero manages to tell a mature tail that can appeal to anyone regardless of their age.

  • The animation is unsurprisingly gorgeous, while the voice acting maintains the high quality of the original Siri's Let's go take them first.

  • You can come back for me Number seven Batman Year one.

  • But I know pain.

  • I know pain.

  • Sometimes I share it with someone like you as an adaptation of Frank Miller's iconic graphic novel, Batman Year One sticks very close to the source material, and it's all the better for it.

  • Year one splits.

  • It's time between Bruce Wayne and Gordon, both of whom arrived in Gotham with aspirations to reform the city.

  • Oh, welcome to Gotham, Lieutenant.

  • Don't worry.

  • Not as bad as it looks.

  • While the film handles Bruce's transformation into Batman competently, Gordon storyline steals the show as lieutenant dives into the city's corrupted underbelly without the security of anonymity.

  • Year One moves at a blistering pace almost to a fault, but a dozen admirable job of showcasing the resilience and humanity of Gotham's brand new protectors.

  • You'd better go, Thank you.

  • Number six Batman Return of the Caped Crusader's Ah frozen TV dinner factory.

  • Appropriate as you'll all soon be put on ice in Gotham State Penitentiary, The Dark Knight has come a long way since the campy adventures of the 1966 Batman TV.

  • Siri's the Adam West lead show, was a product of its time, but there is a certain charm to its innocents.

  • Not so fast.

  • Hold Trump, but we're in a hurry.

  • Batman jaywalking is extremely hazardous, especially at night.

  • Return of the Caped Crusader's Marks a surprisingly effective return to this era of Batman, albeit one that uses the original Siri's as a launching pad to tell a hilarious story that borders on parody.

  • Return of the Caped Crusader's is not only a love letter to the sixties show, but to Batman In general, the show must go on Number five, Batman Ninja.

  • What?

  • Where am I?

  • What happened In 2018?

  • Batman went anime gorilla Grodd.

  • Together they will deliver a devastating blow.

  • Okay, everything culminates in a final act so unapologetically over the top, it could make some MEChA anime seem quaint in comparison.

  • I was a decent man.

  • What a joke.

  • Number four Batman under the Red Hood.

  • Please tell the big man I said hello.

  • It's too hard to cross that line.

  • But the film never loses sight of the fact that this is Terry McGinnis story.

  • I had no right to force this life on you or anyone else.

  • Hey, I was the one who broke in and swiped the suit.

  • Remember, as the film culminates in an engrossing dual pitting the past versus the present and future, Return to the Joker demonstrates Terry's individuality and worthiness as a successor to the original Batman.
