And no Mark Hamill - different production company?
Watched the bluray last night, really enjoyed it.
It's the same people who cast BTAS Bruce Timm and Andrea Romano.
I really enjoyed Year One, felt it transferred to animation really well. Especially enjoyed Brian Cranston as Gordon, good choice for a Gordon-centric tale.
The Dark Knight Returns Pt1 - I felt that this suffered more in translation to animation. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed Peter Weller's voice work for the older Batman, but Miller's masterpiece is full of internal dialogue which the director had to shoe-horn in to the script. Maybe if you haven't read the comic it's less noticeable.
Also the plot device of using the media to push the story along - whilst fresh back then, does seem a little clichéd now as it's been long overdone. Not Miller's fault he was ahead of the curve tho.
It's still good though, these are minor quibbles really, and the adaptation also surprised me in that the material was interpreted just a little bit lighter in tone than my own reading of the graphic novel.
Seriously gagging on the second installment.
Wonder if they will do a boxset or just a case of waiting for the 2nd part to hit blu-ray here in the UK.
I think there are a few theories.
Also it could of been to provoke Batman. Wonder Woman was a super hero and had super powers and could fight with the best of them, Catwoman had no powers at all other than her agility which in her now aged and fuller form would of meant she was powerless, perhaps this was Jokers way of saying just because you have a costume it doesn't make you any younger.
Lastly Selena Kyle was running an escort service which probably catered to every mans fantasy, including female superheroes, Joker dressed her up because of his own fantasy of Selena or Wonder Woman. I think in the comic it states she was tied up with cold coloured rope which made me think of WW's lasso.
hmmmm, methinks I need to have a ponder & reread the book - but at least we're certain that it wasn't a big mistake on Frank Millars and/or the Artist part, them thinking Selina WAS Wonder Woman.... phew!!
