Batastic: 'The Dark Knight Returns - Part 1' Trailer

So here at the 8th Circuit, we get pretty excited for anything Batman related.  If you check out the Super Circuit Show, you'll see how excited we get in the next couple days.  It's a bit scary.  Today, MTV Geek posted a trailer for the new animated movie, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Part 1.  I flipped ma shit.

The new DC animated film is based off Frank Miller's classic, The Dark Knight Returns, first published in 1986.

It’s been a decade since Bruce Wayne hung up his cape, following most of the other superheroes who had been forced into retirement. Facing the downside of middle age, a restless Bruce Wayne pacifies his frustration with race cars and liquor – but the bat still beckons as he watches his city fall prey to gangs of barbaric criminals known as The Mutants.

The return of Harvey Dent as Two-Face finally prompts Wayne to once again don the Dark Knight’s cowl, and his dramatic capture of the villain returns him to crime-fighting – simultaneously making him the target of law enforcement and the new hope for a desolate Gotham City. Particularly inspired is a teenage girl named Carrie, who adopts the persona of Robin and ultimately saves Batman from a brutal attack by the Mutant leader. Armed with a new sidekick, and re-energized with a definitive purpose, the Dark Knight returns to protect Gotham from foes new...and old.

Check out the trailer and let us know what you think.
